Precautions for Connecting the Camera to the Computer
• The connection may not operate correctly if you attach the camera to the computer with an
interface cable via a USB hub.
• The connection may not operate correctly if you are using other USB devices, excluding USB
mice or keyboards, at the same time as the camera. If this occurs, disconnect the other
devices from the computer and try reconnecting the camera.
• Do not connect two or more cameras at the same time to the same computer. The
connections may not operate correctly.
• Never allow the computer to go into standby (sleep) mode while a camera is connected via
the USB interface cable. If it does happen, never disconnect the interface cable. Try to awaken
the computer with the camera in the connected state. Some computers will not awaken
properly if you disconnect the camera while they are in standby (sleep) mode. Please refer to
your computer manual for instructions regarding the standby (sleep) mode.
