Note: If you’ve got a Macintosh, iPhoto may recognize the
DCIM
folder on the camera and attempt to start up, as well. To fix
this in OS-X, make sure no cameras or card readers with
DCIM
folders on them are connected to the Macintosh.
Open
Image Capture
(in the
Applications
folder). Choose
Preferences
from the
Image Capture

No application
(or Nikon Transfer) in the pop-up.

When you’re done with the connection, turn the
camera off before removing the cable. But make sure
that all transfers have completed before turning the
camera off otherwise data may be lost.
Nikon designed the D300 so that it would continue to operate
normally while connected to a computer. That means that
you can take pictures while the camera is connected to the
computer. You can also control the camera from the
computer with Nikon Camera Control Pro 2.0, something that
is useful in studio situations (see the appropriate section on
this software in
Introduction to Nikon Software
).
Note: The D300 also supports a wireless and Ethernet option of
connecting to a computer via the WT-4.
Printing Your Images
You have three primary ways to print images you take with
your D300:
1.
Remove the CompactFlash card from the camera and
take it somewhere that makes prints (in the US:
Walmart, Costco, most camera stores, most drugstores;
I’ll call those “labs”).
2.
Connect the camera to a PictBridge-enabled printer
and print directly. See “PictBridge Printing” on page
<741>.
