Using the Camera with a Computer
5.
Use the USB cable that
comes with the camera
to connect it to your
Macintosh.
• The camera does not
draw power over the USB
cable. Make sure the
camera’s battery is
sufficiently charged
before connecting.
• Make sure that you insert
the cable connector into
the USB/AV port until you
feel it click securely into
place. Failure to insert
the connector fully can
result in poor
communication or malfunction.
• Note that even while the connector is fully inserted,
you still will be able to see the metal part of the
connector as shown in the illustration.
• When connecting the USB cable to a USB port,
make sure you align the connector correctly with the
port.
• Your computer may not be able to recognize the camera if you connect via a
USB hub. Always connect directly to the computer’s USB port.
6.
Turn on the camera.
The camera’s back lamp will light green at this time. In this mode, your Macintosh
recognizes the memory card loaded in the camera (or the camera’s built-in
memory if it does not have a memory card loaded) as a drive. The appearance of
the drive icon depends on the Mac OS version you are using.
7.
Double-click the camera’s drive icon.
8.
Drag the “DCIM” folder to the folder to which you want to copy it.
9.
After the copy operation is complete, drag the drive icon to Trash.
