5. Installing software and drivers 

Read this section to learn how to install drivers and software for the video camera.   

5.1 Drivers 

You can use the “Mass Storage” functions of the video camera on the PC. 

5.1.1 Mass 

Storage 

The digital camera offers Mass Storage function as a card reader device. You can treat this digital 
camera as an SD device. 

You will only need to install a driver for the camera if your operating system is Windows 98SE. 
Windows XP/ME/2000 is plug and play operating systems and do not require a driver to be 
manually loaded. 

When the driver has been installed and the camera is connected, the camera memory and any 
installed mini SD card will appear as Mass Storage in Windows Explorer. Files can be dragged 
and dropped in the same way as on an ordinary disk. 

To install drivers, please follow the instructions below: 

1.

 

Insert the supplied CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. 

2.

 

If the CD-ROM doesn’t automatically boot, use Windows Explorer to execute the 
InstallMgr.exe file in the root directory. 

The following screen is displayed. 

 

3.

 

Click the install button to install the driver. 

4.

 

Follow the on-screen instructions. 

5.

 

Click Finish to restart the computer and finish the video camera driver installation.
