Chapter 4 – Connecting to a Computer 
The digital camera stores pictures as digital data rather 
than on film. Instead of making a trip to a developer and 
printing from negatives, you can copy your pictures to a 
computer for long-term storage. Once transferred, your 
pictures can be viewed, edited, printed, sent to friends 
and family via e-mail, or saved to any removable media 
device (such as floppy disk or CD-ROM) for delivery to a 
photofinisher. After transferring pictures to your 
computer, any copies stored on the memory card or on 
the camera's internal memory can be deleted to 
provide room for new pictures. 
This chapter explains how to connect your digital 
camera to a computer to download pictures to a PC or 
to use as a PC camera. 
CAUTION:  Do not connect the camera to your computer 
before installing the software. This may cause installation 
problems. Please make sure you install the software from 
the CD-ROM before connecting the camera to your 
computer.
