Viewing Photos on a Computer
Photographs stored on the memory card can be viewed on a
computer either using Nikon View to transfer data directly from the
camera, or by removing the memory card from the camera and
reading it using a CompactFlash (CF) card reader or PC card
adapter. The steps involved in a direct connection are described
in the Pocket Guide, “Nikon View: Connecting Your Camera to a
Computer.” This section describes how to view photographs using
a CF card reader or PC card adapter.
Reading Memory Cards
To read the memory cards, you will need:
• a PC or Macintosh computer, and
• either a CF card reader or, if your computer is equipped with
a PCMCIA Type II or Type III card slot, a CA-20 PC-card adapter
(available separately from Nikon).
Using a CF Card Reader
The steps involved in connecting a CF card reader and inserting
memory cards may be found in the documentation provided with
your card reader. Once the card has been inserted, it will function
as a disk, as described in Step 3 of “Using a PCMCIA Card Slot,”
below.
Tips
You may need to install an ATA RAM-card driver before you will be able
to read the memory card on a computer running Windows 3.1.
You can use Nikon View to browse photographs on a memory card in the
same fashion as when the camera is connected to your computer directly.
See the Nikon View reference manual for details.
Using a PCMCIA Card Slot
1
To read CompactFlash cards using a
PCMCIA Type II or Type III card slot,
insert the card in a PC card adapter as
shown at right.
Note
The COOLPIX 950 can read and play back only those images that conform
to the format used by the COOLPIX 950, 900s, 900, and 700 digital
cameras. It may not be able to read JPEG or TIFF files created by a
computer or by another make of camera. It may also not be able to read
camera files that have been renamed or moved to a different folder using
a computer.

folder shown in the playback mode information display. Photos
can be viewed in any application that supports JPEG and TIFF
formats.
