TRANSFERRING DATA TO A COMPUTER
The picture data on a memory card can be transferred to a
computer in two ways:
– Using the multifunction M hand grip (see p. 220)
This accessory has a USB 2.0 interface that allows the memory
card in the camera to be read out.
– Using a card scanner for SD/SDHC/SDXC cards
The camera is compatible with the following operating systems:
– Microsoft
®

Notes:
• Details of how to attach the hand grip, its functions and how to
use it can be found in its instructions.
• Connecting two or more devices to a computer or connecting
using a USB hub or extension cables can result in malfunctions.
USB connection
Data can be transferred via USB cable using two different
standards. It thus takes account of the fact that some operating
systems for transferring picture data require a connection
complying with the PTP protocol.
In addition, it is always possible to operate the camera as an
external drive ("mass storage").
