Connecting to other equipmentConnecting to a PC
You can acquire recorded pictures to a PC by connecting the camera and the PC.• You can easily print out or mail the pictures you have imported. Use of the 
“PHOTOfunSTUDIO” bundled software on the CD-ROM (supplied) is a convenient way of 
doing this.
• Read the separate operating instructions for the supplied software for more information about 
the software in the CD-ROM (supplied) and how to install it.
Preparations:
Turn on the camera and the PC.
Remove the card before using the pictures in the built-in memory.
AUSB connection cable (supplied)
• Check the directions of the connectors, and plug them straight in or unplug them straight out. 
(Otherwise the connectors may be bent out of shape which will cause trouble.)
