Connecting to a PC
You can acquire recorded pictures to a PC by connecting the camera and the PC.
• You can easily print out or e-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.
A USB 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.)
B Align the marks, and insert.
• Use a battery with sufficient battery power or the AC adaptor (DMW-AC5PP; optional) and DC 
coupler (DMW-DCC4; optional). If the remaining battery power becomes low while the camera 
and the PC are communicating, the status indicator blinks and the alarm beeps.
Refer to “Disconnecting the USB connection cable safely” (P105) before disconnecting the 
USB connection cable. Otherwise, data may be destroyed.
Connect the camera to a PC via the USB connection cable 
A 
(supplied).
• Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied one.
Use of cables other than the supplied USB connection cable may cause malfunction.
Press 
3/4 to select [PC], and then press [MENU/SET].
• If [USB MODE] (P26) is set to [PC] in the [SETUP] menu in advance, the 
camera will be automatically connected to the PC without displaying the 
[USB MODE] selection screen. Since there is no need to set this each 
time you connect to the PC, it is convenient.
• When the camera has been connected to the PC with [USB MODE] set 
to [PictBridge(PTP)], a message may appear on the PC’s screen. Select 
[Cancel] to close the screen, and disconnect the camera from the PC. 
Then set [USB MODE] to [PC] again.
