4.Turn off the camera and 
then use the USB cable 
that comes with the 
camera to connect it to 
your Macintosh.
• Connecting the camera to 
a computer with a USB 
cable starts charging of 
the camera’s battery 
(page 18).
• 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.
5.Turn on the camera.
The camera’s back lamp will light green at this time. 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.
• The first time you connect the camera to your Macintosh with the USB cable, 
an error message may appear on your computer. If this happens, disconnect 
and then reconnect the USB cable.
• Charging continues even if the camera is turned on (page 20).

• An image that was rotated on the camera will be displayed on your Macintosh 
screen in its original (unrotated) orientation.
IMPORTANT!
