Transferring images to a computer
(Cont.)
● If the AC adapter is disconnected or connected while the camera is
connected to a computer and is used with the battery loaded, image data
stored on the card may be destroyed or the computer and/or camera may
malfunction. Before disconnecting/connecting the AC adapter, be sure to
disconnect the camera from the computer and turn off the camera. If a
malfunction occurs, turn off the camera or re-start the computer, etc.
● When connecting the camera to a computer, make sure that there is
sufficient remaining battery power. When connected (transmitting) to a
computer, the camera does not enter the sleep mode nor will the camera’s
power turn off automatically. If the battery power runs out or if the camera’s
internal temperature rises, the camera stops operating. This could cause
the computer to malfunction, and any image data (file) being transmitted
may be lost. Be careful when downloading files for a long period. Use the
AC adapter (optional) when downloading files.
● To avoid computer malfunctions, do not turn off the camera or switch the
camera’s mode dial position when the camera is connected to a personal
computer.
● If the camera is connected to the personal computer via a USB hub,
operation may not be stable if there are any compatibility problems between
the personal computer and the hub. In such a case, do not use a hub and
connect the camera directly to the personal computer.
● To play back movies, the personal computer should have QuickTime
installed on it.
