When you connect the camera to your computer the second time or later, follow the same
procedure, set the camera’s power switch to <ON>, and then proceed to Chapter 3.
For Windows 2000, Me, 98 SE, nothing appears when the installation is complete.
However, if the [Found New Hardware] or [Building driver information database]
dialog box appears, when the dialog box disappears automatically, the installation is
complete.
When the installation is complete, the camera is ready to communicate with your
computer. Proceed to Chapter 3 continuously.
Do not set the camera’s power switch to <OFF> until the pop-up menu and dialog
boxes automatically disappear.
If the dialog box that prompts you to restart your computer, restart your computer
without fail.
If you were unable to successfully install the software using the procedure given in
this manual, see “Troubleshooting” (W-105).
The pop-up menu and dialog boxes shown in step 3 do not appear when you connect the
camera to your computer the second time or later.
Never perform the following operations while the software installed from the Solution
Disk is running after connecting the camera to the computer as a communications
error may occur.
• Set the camera’s power switch to <OFF>.
• Open the memory card slot cover.
• Disconnect the dedicated cable, remove the battery, and then remove the DC
coupler.
• Disconnect the AC adapter’s plug or power cord.
Before you perform the operations above, be sure to exit all the software.
Use only the dedicated IEEE1394 cable.
Push the plug firmly all the way into the socket. Loose connections can cause faults
or malfunctions.
Do not connect the camera to your computer via a hub. Or do not connect multiple
IEEE1394 devices to your computer. If you do so, the camera may not operate
correctly.
Operation of the Auto power off function will automatically switch the camera off,
disabling to communicate with your computer. Set the Auto power off function to
[OFF] in advance. (Refer to “Menu Operations” in the camera’s Instruction Manual.)
Do not connect more than one camera to the same computer. The connections may
not operate correctly.
