TIPS
Viewing and editing downloaded images
→ If you want to process images using graphics applications, make sure you
download the images to your computer first. Depending on the software, the
image files may be damaged if the images are processed (rotated, etc.)
while they are still in the internal memory or on the card.
If the data cannot be downloaded from the camera using the USB cable
→ Image files on xD-Picture Card may be downloaded using the optional PC
card adapter. For details, visit the Olympus web site at the address shown
on the back cover of this manual.
Note
• It is recommended that you use the AC adapter when connecting the camera
to a computer. If you use a battery, make sure it has enough power. The
camera does not turn off automatically while it is connected to (communicating
with) a computer. If the battery power runs out, the camera will stop whatever
operation it is performing. This may result in a computer malfunction, or loss of
image data (file) being transmitted.
• Do not turn the camera off while it is connected to the computer. Doing so could
cause the computer to malfunction.
• Connecting the camera to a computer via a USB hub may cause unstable operation
if there is any problem with compatibility between the computer and the hub. In this
case, do not use a hub, but connect the camera directly to the computer.
