HOW TO DOWNLOAD PICTURES USING AN
OLYMPUS USB AUTO CONNECT CAMERA
Introduction
USB Auto Connect is a feature that allows an Olympus digital camera to emulate a disk drive
when connected to a computer. This feature makes it simple to copy the pictures to your
computer by using standard drag-and-drop procedures. There is no need to install drivers
(except for Windows 98) since the camera is supported by the operating system. Note: The C211/3000/3030 Zoom and C-2100 Ultra Zoom are not USB Auto Connect cameras. These
models use a standard USB driver.
These instructions will walk you though step-by-step instructions to connect an Olympus USB
camera and download pictures to your computer. For camera software installation procedures,
please refer to the Software Installation Guide document included with the camera package.
