Troubleshooting

PleaseÅreadÅthisÅsectionÅifÅyouÅencounterÅaÅproblemÅusingÅtheÅsoftware.

InvestigateÅtheÅfollowingÅpointsÅfirstÅifÅyouÅencounterÅaÅproblem.

Does your computer satisfy the requirements listed in the System
Requirements section (p. 8)?

Is the camera correctly connected to the computer?

See the Camera User Guide for the correct connection procedures. Also
check to ensure that you are using the correct cable and that it is securely
attached at both ends.

Are the camera and computer in the correct modes to transfer data?

Some models require the camera to be set to the playback mode to
transfer data. See the Camera User Guide for details.

Is the battery sufficiently charged?

Check the battery charge if you are powering the camera with a battery.
You are recommended to use a household power source (AC adapter) to
power the camera when it is connected to a computer.
