camera to connect it to your computer.
• The camera does not draw power over the USB cable. Check the battery level 
before connecting and make sure it is not too low.
• Make sure that you insert the cable connector into the USB/AV port until you 
feel it click securely into place. Failure to insert the connector fully can result in 
poor communication or malfunction.
• Note that even while the connector is fully inserted, you 
still will be able to see the metal part of the connector as 
shown in the illustration.
• When connecting the USB cable to a USB port, make 
sure you align the connector correctly with the port.
• Your computer may not be able to recognize the 
camera if you connect via a USB hub. Always connect 
directly to the computer’s USB port.

2.Double-click the folder that contains the images you want to view.
3.Double-click the image file you want to view.
• For information about file names, see “Memory Folder Structure” on page 159.
• An image that was rotated on the camera will be displayed on your computer 
screen in its original (unrotated) orientation.
• Viewing a CS image on a computer will individually display the component 
images in the CS group. A CS group cannot be viewed as a CS image on 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. 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.
