7 Install drivers (PC)

This chapter explains how to connect your digital camera to a computer for either
downloading pictures to a PC or Mac or for using as a PC Camera.

Note: There’re no drivers needed to be installed on Mac OS 9.x / OS X.

Tip: Install the drivers first before connecting your camera to the PC!

7.1 Uninstalling old drivers and devices

The most common cause of faults during installation is the presence of a driver for a
similar, old device. The best solution is to first remove all drivers related to old
devices before installing the new driver. Make sure you only delete programs for old,
unused (similar) devices.

Tip: Mac OS will automatically display the camera’s internal memory when

there is no SD / MMC card present. When there is a memory card
present in your camera, its contents will be displayed instead until you
remove it.

with your PC or MAC. Use only the DOS-format (FAT16). However, it’s
recommended using the camera’s format function to f ormat the memory.

(Jaguar) or higher, because this OS can only format HFS and UNIX
formats, which are not compatible with your camera!
