Note
• To avoid problems, never change the camera’s mode or switch the camera off and on while the
camera is connected to the computer, especially when images are being transferred from the
camera to the computer.
• The camera does not enter sleep mode or automatically switch off the power while operating in
setup/connection mode. If you intend to leave the camera connected to the computer for a long
time, we recommend connecting the optional AC adapter to avoid draining of the batteries.
