Connections
This chapter describes how to set up your camera to communicate with a
computer and how to connect your camera to a computer by means of the
serial cables provided in this package or the SCSI cable available
separately as part of the SCSI Kit. Before you can use your camera with a
computer, you will need to install the Nikon View software package
provided with this product. For information on using Nikon View software
to view the contents of your camera’s memory or to transfer recordings to
disk for long-term storage, refer to the Nikon View User’s Manual.
Note: Although the COOLPIX 300 comes equipped with both serial and
SCSI interfaces, only one can be used at a time. You cannot connect the
camera simultaneously to two computers or to two ports on a single
computer. If you wish to change the connection, you will first have to turn
the camera and computer off, disconnect the cable, and then reconnect the
devices using one of the methods described in the following sections.
