Connections

as shown at right. Use the flat connector for
connection to the computer.
4 Connect the interface cable to the camera
Connect the other end of the cable to the
camera’s USB connector. While the interface
cable is connected, the borders of the shutter-
speed/aperture display in the control panel will
flash on and off in sequence (
). The moni-
tor will be off and all controls except the power
switch disabled.
Connect the Camera Directly to the Computer
The camera may not function as expected when connected via a USB hub or
keyboard.
Register the Camera with the System (Windows)
The first time the camera is connected to a Windows computer, the camera
must be “registered” with the system so that the computer will know how to
communicate with the camera. If you are using Windows Millennium Edition
(Me) or Windows 2000 Professional, the computer will register the camera au-
tomatically the first time the camera is connected. The files needed to regis-
ter the camera with Windows 98/Windows 98 Second Edition (SE) are provided
on the Nikon View 4 installer CD. Be sure the CD is inserted in the drive when
you first connect your camera. Other versions of Windows do not support USB.
More information on registering your camera can be found in the Nikon View
4 Reference Manual.
Mac OS 8.6
Users of Mac OS 8.6 will need to upgrade to version 1.3.5 of the Apple Com-
puter USB driver.
