    Viewing and Storing Images on a 
    Macintosh
    You can view and store images (snapshot and movie files) on 
    your Macintosh by connecting to the camera.
    IMPORTANT!
    •Connection is not supported to a Macintosh running Mac 
    OS 8.6 or lower, or Mac OS X 10.0. Connection is 
    supported to a Macintosh running Mac OS 9 or OS X (10.1, 
    10.2, 10.3, 10.4) only. Use the standard USB driver that 
    comes with the operating system for connection.
    ■Connecting the Camera to Your Computer 
    the First Time
    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.

    2.Connect the USB cable that comes bundled 
    with the camera to the USB cradle and the 
    USB port of your Macintosh.
    •Orient the USB plug so it correctly matches the shape of 
    the USB port when you connect them.
    •Plug the USB cable into the ports securely, as far as it will 
    go. Proper operation is not possible if connections are not 
    correct.
    3.Open the lens cover to turn on the camera and 
    then press [MENU].
    •Do not place the camera on the USB cradle yet.
    4.On the “Set Up” tab, select “USB” and then 
    press [X].
    5.Use [S] and [T] to select “Mass Storage” and 
    then press [SET].
    6.Close the lens cover to turn off the camera 
    and then place the camera onto the USB 
    cradle.
    •Do not place the camera onto the USB cradle while it is 
    turned on.
    •If you plan to transfer images from the camera’s built-in 
    memory to your Macintosh, make sure there is no 
    memory card loaded in the camera.[ ] (USB) Connector

    7.Press the USB cradle’s 
    [USB] button.
    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 259 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.
    ■Viewing Camera Images on Your Macintosh
    After connecting the camera to your Macintosh, you can view 
    camera images on your Macintosh screen.
    1.Double-click the camera’s drive icon.
    2.Double-click the “DCIM” folder.
    3.Double-click the folder that contains the image 
    you want to view.
    4.Double-click the file that contains the image 
    you want to view.
    This displays the image.
    IMPORTANT!
    •Do not leave the same image displayed on your Macintosh 
    screen for a long time. Doing so can cause image “burn in”.
    NOTE•An image that was rotated on the camera will be displayed 
    on your Macintosh screen in its original (unrotated) 
    orientation.

    ■Saving an Image on Your Macintosh
    In order to work on an image to put it into an album, you must 
    first save it to your Macintosh. To save a camera image to your 
    Macintosh, you must first establish a connection between them 
    via the camera’s USB cradle.
    1.Double-click the camera’s drive icon.
    2.Drop the “DCIM” folder into the folder where 
    you want to store it.
    This copies the “DCIM” folder to the folder 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.

    Transfer of Images from the Camera and 
    Management of Images on Your 
    Macintosh
    If you are running Mac OS X, you can manage snapshots using 
    iPhoto, which comes bundled with your operating system.
    If you are running Mac OS 9, use commercially available 
    software.
    Playing Movies
    You can use QuickTime, which comes 
    bundled with your operating system, to play 
    back movies. To play back a movie, first copy 
    the movie to your Macintosh and then double-
    click the movie file.
