Connecting the Camera to a Computer

Connection Precautions
• Do not connect the camera to the computer until you have installed the
software from the Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk.
• 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.
• You are recommended to power the camera from a household power source (AC
adapter) when connecting to a computer.
• Never allow the computer to go into sleep (standby) 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 sleep (standby) mode.
Please refer to your computer manual for instructions regarding the
sleep (standby) mode.
