Using the Software on the Windows 

Platform – Preparations

This chapter explains the basic procedures for installing the software and connecting the 
camera to a computer. Read this material before you connect the camera to the computer.

Installing the Software and USB Driver

Items to Prepare

• Your camera and computer
• Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk
• Interface cable supplied with the camera

Installation Procedures

1

Confirm that the camera is NOT connected to 
the computer. 

If it is, disconnect the cable. The software cannot 
be properly installed if the camera is connected to 
the computer at the start.

2

Close any programs that are running. 

• You must install the software before you connect the camera to the 

computer.

(computer system administrator) to install programs.
