installing the DiMAGE Viewer software are found in the supplied software manual. The DiMAGE man-
uals do not cover the basic operation of computers or their operating systems; please refer to the
manual supplied with your computer.

System requirements

For the camera to be connected directly to the computer and used as a mass-storage device, the
computer must be equipped with a USB port as a standard interface. Both the computer and the
operating system must be guaranteed by their manufacturers to support USB interface. The following
operating systems are compatible with the camera:
IBM PC / AT Compatible

Users with Windows 98 or 98 second edition will need to install the driver software on the included
DiMAGE Viewer CD-ROM (p. 108). Users with Mac OS 8.6 will need to download and install a USB
mass-storage device from the Apple web site (p. 111). No special driver software is required for other
Windows or Macintosh operating systems.
Customers who have bought a previous DiMAGE digital camera and have installed the Windows 98
driver software must repeat the installation procedure. The updated version of the driver software
included on the supplied DiMAGE Viewer CD-ROM is required for the operation of the DiMAGE F300
with a computer. The new software will have no affect on the performance of older DiMAGE cameras.
