Notes
• We recommend using a card reader for the transfer of large files.
• The USB connection must not be interrupted while data is being
transferred, as the computer or the camera could otherwise
“crash” and irreparable damage could occur on the memory
card.
• The camera must not be turned off or automatically shut itself
down due to a lack of battery power while data is being trans-
ferred, as this can cause the computer to crash. For the same
reason, the battery must never be removed from the camera
while the connection is active.
