Connect your digital camera (see page 46). 2. Turn on your digital camera. 3. Turn on the projector and the remote control, if they’re not already on. note Most digital cameras also have the ability to play internal slideshows.

You must press the Video or S-Video button on the remote control to select the correct signal source. See pages 42 or 43 for details.

Before you begin, make sure there is no memory card in the projector’s card slot. You cannot have a drive connected while a memory card is inserted; neither the drive nor the card will function with EasyMP. Follow these steps: 1. Connect your external hard drive or flash memory drive (see page 46). note Make sure your camera shows up on your desktop as a drive letter. If it does, it is probably a USB mounted device and will work with the projector software. The EasyMP software does not support TWAIN-compliant digital cameras. If your camera’s memory card is supported by the projector, you can insert it into the projector’s card slot and project your images (see “Creating a Slideshow on the Fly” on page 87). You can’t have your camera connected at the same time.
