Mass Storage Device.
MSD is a name given to a USB product
(like a digital camera) that works with your computer as if it
was a removable disk. In essence the computer “sees” your
camera as if it were a floppy disk or a CD ROM. The concept
is simple. Think of the memory inside your camera as if it were
a floppy disk (or a Zip disk, or a CD ROM). Think of the camera
as a “reader’.
When you connect an MSD device to a computer it will
appear as a new “drive.” Go to My Computer and observe
the various drives. For example:
•
3-1/2” floppy drive (A:)
•
Local disk (C:)
•
CD ROM (D:)
•
Removable disk (E:)
This is the Camera Memory
PC Camera
. The 3765 allows you to view live video from your
camera on your computer using optional (third-party) video
software. This mode is supported on Windows PCs only.
