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.

■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.
