button to display a page of thumbnail images (p. 162). Check that the images
you want to transfer are marked with a D icon. To select unmarked
pictures for transfer or to deselect pictures already marked for transfer,
highlight the picture and press the TRANSFER button.
• If the original picture file is marked for transfer, small picture file create from

either the original or small picture files does not affect the transfer status of
the other.

View will start automatically.

• When all selected images have been transferred, the
monitor will show “TRANSFER COMPLETED”. Once
the “TRANSFER COMPLETED” message has
appeared, click the “Unplug or Eject Hardware” icon
and select Stop USB disk (Windows Millennium
Edition, Windows 2000), or double click My
Computer, select the removable disk corresponding
to the camera, open the File menu and select Eject
(Windows 98, Windows 98 SE) or drag the untitled

Image Database Software
Depending on where you purchased your camera, the COOLPIX885 comes
