    .Precautions for Windows Users
    • The software requires Administrator privileges to run.
    • Operation on a self-made computer is not supported.
    • Operation may not be possible under certain computer environments.
    You can connect the camera to your computer in order to view and store images 
    (snapshot and movie files).
    IMPORTANT!
    • Never unplug the USB cable, or operate the camera while viewing or storing 
    images. Doing so can cause data to become corrupted.
    NOTE
    • You also can use your computer’s card slot (if it has one) or a commercially 
    available card reader to access image files directly from the camera’s memory 
    card. For details, see the user documentation that comes with your computer.
    .To connect the camera to your computer and save files
    1.Turn off the camera and 
    then use the USB cable 
    that comes with the 
    camera to connect it to 
    your computer.
    • For details about connecting 
    to the camera and 
    precautions when 
    connecting, see page 15.
    2.Turn on the camera.
    • The first time you connect the camera to your computer with the USB cable, an 
    error message may appear on your computer. If this happens, disconnect and 
    then reconnect the USB cable.
    • Charging continues even if the camera is turned on.
    3.Windows 7, Windows Vista users: Click “Start” and then “Computer”.
    Windows XP users: Click “Start” and then “My Computer”.
    Viewing and Storing Images on a Computer
    Never use your computer to modify, delete, move, or rename any image files 
    that are in the camera’s built-in memory or on its memory card.
    Doing so can cause problems with the camera’s image management data, which 
    will make it impossible to play back images on the camera and can drastically alter 
    remaining memory capacity. Whenever you want to modify, delete, move, or 
    rename an image, do so only on images that are stored on your computer.

    Vista) or “My Documents” (Windows XP), the next step will overwrite it. If you 
    want to keep the existing “DCIM” folder, you need to change its name or move 
    it to a different location before performing the next step.
    8.Windows 7 users: On the “Documents” “Organize” menu, select 
    “Paste”.
    Windows Vista users: On the “Documents” “Edit” menu, select 
    “Paste”.
    Windows XP users: On the “My Documents” “Edit” menu, select 
    “Paste”.
    This will paste the “DCIM” folder (and all the image files it contains) into your 
    “Documents” (Windows 7, Windows Vista) or “My Documents” (Windows XP) 
    folder. You now have a copy of the files that are in camera memory on your 
    computer.
    9.After you finish copying images, disconnect the camera from the 
    computer.
    On the camera, press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn off the camera. After checking to
