camera to your USB-enabled Windows 98, Windows 2000,

battery life by using it when you connect the camera to your

connector on one end of the cable into the USB port on
your computer, or into a port on a USB hub.
NOTE
Although you can use a USB hub, it’s recommended that you
connect the camera directly to the computer’s USB port.
2. Open the connector cover on the side of the camera. Then
insert the connector on the other end of the USB cable into
the camera’s interface port.
3. Turn on the camera and turn the camera dial to .
Maintenance
Cleaning the Camera
❏ Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe the camera free of dust.
❏ Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Don’t use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.
❏ To clean the lens, first blow off any loose dust or dirt. Then
breathe on the lens and wipe off all moisture with a soft,
lint-free cloth or lens cleaning tissue. To avoid scratching
the lens, don’t press too hard.
❏ If necessary, clean the battery contacts with a dry cloth.
❏ If the LCD screen gets fingerprints or smudges on it, use a
soft, damp cloth to lightly wipe the screen.
Storing the Camera
❏ When you’re not using the camera, make sure the camera is
turned off.
❏ When the camera is not used for long periods of time,
remove the batteries and store them at a low temperature in
a dry location. This prevents camera damage from battery
leaks or corrosion.
Do not store the camera in the following locations:
❏ Where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, for example, on
a car dashboard, or near bright sources of light or high
humidity
❏ Near heat sources or in a closed car or trunk
❏ In areas of excessive dirt or dust
❏ Where it will be exposed to strong vibrations or magnetic
fields
