■Connecting the Camera to Your Computer 
the First Time
IMPORTANT!
•If you are not using the AC adaptor to power the camera, 
the battery may go low and cause the camera to turn off 
while it is in the middle of exchanging files with your 
computer. Use of the special AC adaptor is recommended 
to power the camera.
1.Connect the bundled AC adaptor to the [DC IN 
5.3V] connector of the USB cradle and then 
plug it in to a household power outlet.
•If you do not plan to use the AC adaptor, make sure that 
the camera’s battery is fully charged.

with the camera to the USB cradle and the 
USB port of your computer.

go. Proper operation is not possible if connections are not 
correct.
3.Open the lens cover to turn on the camera and

7.Press the USB cradle’s 
[USB] button.
Camera-Computer 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 computer 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 removable disk.
From now on, you will not have to perform steps 3 through 5 in 
the above procedure when you connect the camera to your 
computer (unless you change the camera’s USB settings for 
some reason).
•With some Windows setups, you may see a guidance 
message appear on your display to let you know about the 
new removable disk. If this happens, simply close the 
guidance message dialog box.
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 241 for the correct 
steps you need to perform to remove the camera from the 
cradle safely.

and then place the camera onto the USB 
cradle.
2.Press the USB cradle’s 
[USB] button.
•Pressing the cradle’s [USB]

orientation.
■Saving an Image on Your Computer

computer, you must first establish a connection between them 
via the camera’s USB cradle.
1.Windows XP users: Click “Start” and then “My 
Computer”.
Windows Vista users: Click “Start” and then 
“Computer”.
Windows 2000/Me/98SE/98 users: Double-
click “My Computer”.

4.On the shortcut menu that appears, click 
“Copy”.
5.Windows XP users: Click “Start” and then “My 
Documents”.
Windows Vista users: Click “Start” and then 
“Documents”.
Windows 2000/Me/98SE/98 users: Double-
click “My Documents” to open it.
•If you already have a “DCIM” folder in “My Documents”, 
the next step will overwrite it. If you want to keep the 
existing “DCIM” folder, you need to change its name or 
move it to a different location before performing the next 
step.
6.On the “My Documents” “Edit” menu, select 
“Paste”.
This will paste the “DCIM” folder (and all the image files it 
contains) into your “My Documents” folder. You now have a 
copy of the files that are in camera memory on your 
computer.
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 are stored on your computer.
•Never unplug the USB cable, or operate the camera or 
cradle while viewing or storing images. Doing so can cause 
data to become corrupted.
