TROUBLESHOOTING
How should the camera be stored?
Keep the camera away from dust, moisture and salt. Wipe the camera well and dry it before stor-
age. When the camera has been used at a beach, moisten a cloth in fresh water, ring the cloth
well and wipe the camera with it. Do not use moth repellent when storing the camera. Be sure to
remove the batteries when the camera is not to be used for a long period of time.*
* Calendar date and time selection will be reset in about 1 hour.
Can the camera be connected to any PC?
It can be connected to most recent PC models equipped with a USB port. It can also be connect-
ed to Macintosh machines or notebook machines. However, USB is supported differently
depending on the operating system of your PC. For details, see Page 78.
What is USB?
USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. It is a new means of connection allowing data transfer to a
PC. It is convenient because you do not have to turn the camera and PC off before connecting
the USB cable. If your PC has a rectangular connector marked
, measuring about 6 x 15
mm/0.25 x 0.5 in, it is the USB port.
What kind of software is required to retouch images or insert them in documents
on the PC?
If your PC runs Windows, retouching is possible using the Windows Photo Editor provided with
Microsoft Office for Windows 98, etc.
Also note that images can be inserted directly in documents when these are created using word
processing software such as Microsoft Word. For details, see the instructions of the software you
use.
