Camera-Macintosh Connection
Pressing the cradle’s [USB] button puts it into the USB mode, 
which is indicated by the USB lamp lighting green. In this mode, 
your Macintosh recognizes the memory card loaded in the 
camera (or the camera’s built-in memory if it does not have a 
memory card loaded) as a drive.
The appearance of the drive icon depends on the Mac OS 
version you are using.
From now on, you will not have to perform steps 3 through 5 in 
the above procedure when you connect the camera to your 
Macintosh (unless you change the camera’s USB settings for 
some reason).
IMPORTANT!
•
Never disconnect the USB cable or remove the camera 
from the USB cradle without exiting the USB mode first. 
Doing so can corrupt image data. See “Removing the 
Camera from the USB Cradle” on page 244 for the correct 
steps you need to perform to remove the camera from the 
cradle safely.
■ Connecting the Camera to Your Macintosh 
after the First Time
Since you need to configure menu settings only the first time you 
connect the camera to your Macintosh, later connections are 
much simpler.
1.Close the lens cover to  turn off the camera 
and then place the camera onto the USB 
cradle.
2.Press the USB cradle’s 
[USB] button.
• Pressing the cradle’s 
[USB] button puts it into the 
USB mode, which is 
indicated by the USB lamp 
lighting green.

on your Macintosh screen in its original (unrotated) 
orientation.
■ Saving an Image on Your Macintosh

IMPORTANT!
•Never use your computer to modify, delete, move, or 
rename any image files that are in the camera’s built-in 
memory or 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 have been copied to your 
Macintosh.
• Never unplug the USB cable, or operate the camera or 
cradle while viewing or storing images. Doing so can cause 
data to become corrupted.
■ Removing the Camera from the USB Cradle
1.On your Macintosh screen, drag the camera 
drive to Trash.
2.Press the USB cradle [USB] button. After 
making sure that the cradle’s USB lamp is not 
lit, remove the camera from the cradle.

The method you should use to read files from a memory card 
depends on the type of computer you have. Some typical 
examples are shown below. After you connect, use the same 
procedures as those that you use when the camera is connected 
to your computer via the USB cradle.
■If your computer h as a memory card slot
After checking to make sure that your computer’s card slot is 
compatible with the memory card you are using to store images, 
insert the memory card into the slot.
■If your computer  has a PC card slot
Use a commercially available PC card adapter that is 
appropriate for the memory card. For full details, see the user 
documentation that comes with the PC card adapter and your 
computer.
■Other types of computers
Use either of the method described below.
– Use a commercially available memory card 
reader/writer that is 
appropriate for the 
memory card you are 
using. See the user 
documentation that comes with the memory card reader/
writer for details about how to use it.
– Use a commercially available PC card reader/writer and a  commercially available PC card adapter that is appropriate 
to the type of memory card you are using. See the user 
documentation that comes with the PC card reader/writer

The camera stores images you shoot and other data in 
accordance with the Design Rule for Camera File System 
(DCF).
■About DCF
DCF is a system that defines both image file formats and the 
structure of the folders that store data. This makes it possible for 
a digital camera, printer, or other DCF-compliant device to 
display or print image data from another DCF device.

■Supported Image Files
•Image files shot with this camera
• DCF-compliant image files
Even if an image is DCF-compliant, this camera still may not be 
able to display it. When displaying an image recorded on 
another camera, it may take a long time for the image to appear 
on this camera’s monitor screen.
■ Built-in Memory and Memory Card Data 
Handling Precautions
•When saving camera data to a computer hard disk, MO disk, 
or other medium, be sure to transfer the entire DCIM folder 
and its contents. Changing the name of the DCIM to a date or 
something similar after you copy it to your computer is a good 
way to keep track of multiple DCIM folders. When moving the 
folder back to the camera, however, be sure to change its 
name back to DCIM. This camera does not recognize any 
folder name besides DCIM.
All of the other folders inside the DCIM folder must also have 
their original names if you transfer them back to the camera.
• Folders and files must be stored in accordance with the 
“Memory Folder Structure” shown on page 248 in order for the 
camera to be able to recognize them correctly.
