Your digital camera is equipped with the standard Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP). If you are running Windows XP or Mac OS X, this protocol enables
you to download images by simply connecting the camera to a computer, without installing the software bundled on the Canon Digital Camera
Solution Disk.
However, please note that there are several limitations to downloading images with this method. If you encounter any problems during image
download, use the software applications bundled on the Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk to download images.
