USING THE CAMERA WITH A COMPUTER

159

Getting Started

Start up your computer and insert the CD-ROM into its CD-
ROM drive. This will automatically launch the menu
application, which displays a menu screen on your
computer.

• The menu application may not start up automatically on

some computers. If this happens, navigate to the CD-
ROM and double-click “menu.exe” to launch the menu
application.

Installing Software from the CD-ROM in
Windows

Use the procedures in this section to install the software
from the bundled CD-ROM to your computer.

 NOTE 

• If you already have one of the bundled applications

installed on your computer, check its version. If the
bundled version is newer than the one you have, you
should install the newer version.

The CD-ROM includes the software and user
documentation for various languages. Check the CD-ROM
menu screen to see if applications and user documentation
are available for a particular language.
