Connecting The Camera To A Computer - Minolta Dimage F200 Instruction Manual

Connecting the camera to a computer

Confirm the battery has sufficient power before connecting the camera to a computer, the
full-battery indicator should be displayed on the monitor and data panel. The use of the
AC adapter (sold separately) is recommended over the use of the battery. For users with
Windows 98 or 98 Second Edition, read the section on page 110 on how to install the
necessary USB driver before connecting the camera to a computer.
1 Start up the computer. The computer must be on before
connecting the camera.
2 Remove the USB-port cover. Attach the smaller plug of the
USB cable to the camera. Make sure the plug is firmly
attached. The USB-port cover is attached to the body to
prevent loss.
3 Attach the other end of the USB cable to the computer's
USB port. Make sure the plug is firmly attached.
• The camera should be connected directly to
the computer's USB port. Attaching the
camera to a USB hub may prevent the
camera from operating properly.
