webcam (WDM Web camera).
Before connecting the camera to your computer, you must first select which function
you wish to use from the camera menu. Follow the instructions given below to do
this.
Note:
All the buttons on the camera will be disabled when it is
connected to your computer. The camera must be disconnected
from the computer if you wish to alter the camera settings.

Using the camera as a removable disk
When the camera is used as a removable disk, photographs and video clips can be
accessed in the same way as they would be on a normal hard disk. The photographs
are saved as JPG files and the video clips are saved as AVI files. Follow the
instructions given below.
Note:
The MSDC driver must be installed in Windows 98 before
connecting the camera to your computer (see chapter 3). By
default, Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP support
the camera’s MSDC function.
