Connecting the Camera to Your Computer
Before downloading images to your computer or specifying the camera settings, you must
connect the camera to your computer with the dedicated IEEE1394 cable.
You can connect the camera while your computer is running.
Connecting the Camera to Your Computer
for the First Time
When you connect the camera to your computer for the first time to complete the installation,
follow the procedure below right after performing “Installing the Software” (W-4).
Plug the dedicated cable into the computer.
1
O Plug the cable into the IEEE1394
port.
O Refer to the computer User’s
Manual for information on the
terminal areas.
