Using the camera as
an external drive of a
computer

Once you connect the camera to a
computer using the USB cable, you
can use the camera as a floppy disk/
“Memory Stick” drive of a computer.
Install the USB driver to the computer
beforehand (pages 29, 35).

Example:
For Windows 98, Windows
98SE, Windows 2000,
Windows Me and Windows
XP Users

Note

When using Windows 2000, Windows Me,
or Windows XP, see also page 31.

The drive symbol ((D:), etc.) may differ
depending on your computer.

If you are using Mac OS X(v10.0/v10.1),
you can use only a “Memory Stick” with a
computer running Mac OS X(v10.0/
v10.1). Even if you insert a floppy disk,
Mac OS X(v10.0/v10.1) cannot recognize
it. To use data saved on a floppy disk,
copy it to a “Memory Stick” first
(page 77).
