Connections—Connecting to a Computer
Your COOLPIX digital camera saves each picture as an image file that can be
copied to your computer using the Nikon View 5 software provided. Once
transferred to your computer, your pictures can be viewed, printed, sent to
your acquaintances via e-mail, or saved to a CD or other removable media for
delivery to a photofinisher. Any copies stored on the memory card after trans-
fer can be deleted to make way for new pictures, which you can then add to
the growing digital photo album on your computer.
Before You Begin: Installing Nikon View 5
Before copying pictures to your computer, you will need to install Nikon View 5,
an application that allows you to transfer pictures from the camera memory
card to a computer hard disk and view them on the computer monitor. To
