HOW TO DOWNLOAD PICTURES USING AN

OLYMPUS USB AUTO CONNECT CAMERA

Introduction

USB Auto Connect, also known as “USB Storage Class”, 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.

Installing the USB Driver for Windows 98
NOTE: A USB driver only needs to be installed if the computer is running Windows 98/98 SE.

Once the driver is installed, you will not need to perform this procedure again.

1) Connect the camera to the USB port of the computer using the provided USB cable.

2) Turn the camera ON (For the E-10 camera turn the mode dial to Setup/Connection mode.

For other digital cameras with a mode dial, choose any selection. For an Olympus digital
camera that has a front lens cover, open the cover.)

3) The "Add New Hardware Wizard" should automatically run. Click <Next>.

4) Make sure “Search Optimum Driver for Device in Use (Recommended)” is selected, and

then click <Next>.

5) Open your CD-ROM drive door and place the Olympus Utility CD into the tray. Press and

hold down the <Right-shift> key on the keyboard while pressing the CD tray close button.

6) Make sure that "Specify Search Location" is checked off and uncheck "Floppy Disk Drive",

"MS Windows Update", and "CD-ROM Drive". Click the <Browse> button.

7) Click the [+] on the left of the CD-ROM drive icon. Click [+] on the left of the USB folder

icon. Single-click the Win 98 folder and confirm that it is highlighted. Click <OK>.

complete. Click <Finish>.

How to transfer pictures with a USB Auto Connect digital camera
