Notes on using DirectCD
The supplied writing software, DirectCD v3.01c_S55, is required to connect the
camera and a computer using the USB connector. If any other CD-R/RW writing
software has been installed on your computer, check the chart below.

DirectCD is not required to only view images on 
the finalized disc in a CD-ROM drive. If you read or 
write images on the disc which is not finalized, you 
have to connect the camera to your computer with 
the USB cable and install DirectCD into your 
computer. For details on USB connection, refer to 
the operating instructions of the camera.
