the camera software

that does not have the camera software installed on it.
Note Make sure that the computer has a USB port and
that its operating system is Windows 2000 or
Windows ME or later, or Macintosh OS 8.6 or later.
To unload images to a Windows or Macintosh computer

more information, see “Changing the PC Connect Mode
setting” on page 31.

to indicate that the camera is connected to the computer. The
computer recognizes the camera as a disk drive.

drive in My Computer or navigate to the drive letter in
