Before You Connect the Camera to the Computer
Precautions for Connecting the Camera to the Computer
• Use the interface 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 at the same time 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 interface 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 (if available for your camera
model). Ensure that you use fully charged batteries if you will not be using a
household power source.
• See the Camera User Guide for procedures connecting the camera to the
computer.
