TIPS
Viewing and editing downloaded images
→ If you want to process images using graphics applications, make sure you 
download the images to your computer first. Depending on the software, the 
image files may be damaged if the images are processed (rotated, etc.) 
while they are still in the internal memory or on the card.
If the data cannot be downloaded from the camera using the USB cable
→ Image files on the xD-Picture Card may be downloaded using the optional 
PC card adapter. For details, visit the Olympus web site at the address 
shown on the back cover of this manual.
Note
• It is recommended that you use the optional AC adapter when connecting the 
camera to a computer. If you use batteries, make sure they have enough 
power. The camera does not turn off automatically while it is connected to 
(communicating with) a computer. If the battery power runs out, the camera will 
stop whatever operation it is performing. This may result in a computer 
malfunction, or loss of  image data (file) being transmitted.
• Do not turn the camera off while it is connected to the computer. Doing so could 
cause the computer to malfunction.
• Connecting the camera to a computer via a USB hub may cause unstable operation 
if there is any problem with compatibility between the computer and the hub. In this 
case, do not use a hub, but connect the camera directly to the computer.
