Viewing Pictures on a Computer
The supplied UC-E6 USB cable and PictureProject software can be used to
view photographs and movies on a computer. Before pictures can be trans-
ferred (copied) to your computer, PictureProject must be installed. For more
information on installing PictureProject and transferring pictures to a comput-
er, see the documentation on the reference CD and the Quick Start Guide.
