When using the camera connected to the computer, be sure that the camera
has sufficient battery power. Note that the camera’s battery will continuously
discharge (use energy) when connected (communicating) with a computer.
If the battery becomes exhausted, the camera will stop operating. If the
camera stops operating, the computer may malfunction and the image data
(files) being transferred may be lost. Please keep this in mind when the
camera is connected to the computer for extended periods. Use of the AC
adapter (sold separately) is recommended when using the camera with a
computer.

If the AC adapter is removed when the camera is connected to the computer
and powered by the battery, the image data on the picture card may be lost
and the computer may malfunction. Before removing the AC adapter, be
sure to first disconnect the camera from the computer and turn off the
camera.

If the camera is connected to the computer via a USB hub, reliable
operation cannot be guaranteed. If a malfunction should occur, connect the
camera directly to the computer without using the USB hub.

Be sure to copy an image to the computer before editing the image.
Depending on the application software used, editing an image (such as
rotating) on the picture card may corrupt the file data on the picture card.

Images transferred to the computer can be viewed using graphic software,
such as CAMEDIA Master, Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop, Internet browsing
software, such as Netscape Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer, or
a similar JPEG-compatible application software. For information on using
commercially-available image editing software, please refer to the
instruction manual of that software.

To play back movies on your computer, you will need to have QuickTime
installed. QuickTime is provided on the supplied CD-ROM.
