Canon PowerShot SD100 Software Starter Manual page 99

Connecting the Camera to a Computer
Ensure that you have installed the software from the supplied
Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk before you connect the
camera to the computer.
•Your camera and computer
•USB cable supplied with the camera
•Use the USB cable to attach the camera directly to a USB port on
the computer, not through a USB hub. The connection may not
operate correctly through a USB hub.
•The connection may not operate correctly if you are using other
USB devices, excluding USB mice or keyboards, at the same time
as the camera. If this occurs, disconnect the other devices from
the computer and try reconnecting the camera.
•Do not connect two or more cameras to the same computer via
the USB interface. The connections may not operate correctly.
•Never allow the computer to go into standby (sleep) mode while
a camera is connected via the USB interface. If it does happen,
never disconnect the USB cable. Try to awaken the computer
with the camera in the connected state. Some computers will
not awaken properly if you disconnect the camera while they
are in standby (sleep) mode. Please refer to your computer
manual for instructions regarding the standby (sleep) mode.
You are recommended to power the camera from a household
power source (AC adapter) when connecting to a computer.
See the page (pp. 94 - 102) for your specific model for information about
connecting the camera to the computer.
