Reading Image Files with a Computer
When the camera is connected correctly to a computer running Windows, Windows will
recognize the memory card in the camera as “Removable Disk.” If the computer is a
Macintosh, a new icon labeled “untitled” will be displayed on the desktop. The images on
the card can be accessed with Windows Explorer and handled just like files stored on a
floppy disk or removable memory disk. Of course, the files can also be read with CAMEDIA
Master.
For CAMEDIA Master 2.5 users
Make sure that you select “Removable Disk” not “My Camera.” If you are using a Macintosh, select
the icon labeled “untitled”.
See the software instructions for use of CAMEDIA Master.
Notes
The computer and camera should be disconnected before performing the following actions:
• Switching the card in use or replacing the card to another card
• Switching the camera mode
• Switching the camera power off
Hints
Images read from the camera memory card and downloaded to the computer can be opened and
read by graphics applications such as CAMEDIA Master, Paint Shop Pro, and Photoshop, or
Internet browsers such as Netscape Communicator and Microsoft Explorer, or any software
application that can handle JPEG files.
For details about image management software applications, refer to the instructions of the
software application. Before you attempt to process an image, it must first be downloaded from the
camera to the computer. If you process the image (e.g. rotating) on the card in the camera directly,
the data may be corrupted.
