Using the Camera with a Computer
IMPORTANT!
• Never unplug the USB cable, or operate the camera while viewing or storing
images. Doing so can cause data to become corrupted.
• The camera does not support operation with Mac OS X 10.0 to 10.4. Operation is
supported with Mac OS 10.5 to 10.9 (using the OS standard USB driver) only.
NOTE
• You also can use your computer’s card slot (if it has one) or a commercially
available card reader to access image files directly from the camera’s memory
card. For details, see the user documentation that comes with your computer.

Connecting the Camera to Your Computer and Saving Files
Never use your computer to modify, delete, move, or rename any image files
that are in the camera’s built-in memory or on its memory card.
Doing so can cause problems with the camera’s image management data, which
will make it impossible to play back images on the camera and can drastically alter
remaining memory capacity. Whenever you want to modify, delete, move, or
rename an image, do so only on images that are stored on your computer.
