The USB interface is „hot-plug“-capable. This means that you can 
connect and disconnect the camera without having to shut down your 
computer. Please mind however to close all programs that access the 
camera to avoid data loss. 
 
To put the camera into operation, simply plug one end of the USB 
cable (Type Mini-B) into the socket on the back of the camera and the 
other end into the USB-Connector on your PC. 
Further connections are not required. 
 
 

Caution! 

You will have to install the respective driver software on your PC 
prior to the initial operation. Without the installation of the driver, the 
camera will not function at all or merely in a limited way. 
Please read 

section 2.2

 how to install the driver.
