Using the Camera with a Computer
4. Turn off the camera and then use the USB cable that comes with the
camera to connect it to your computer.
• The camera does not draw power over the USB cable. Check the battery level
before connecting and make sure it is not too low.
• Make sure that you insert the cable connector into the USB/AV port until you
feel it click securely into place. Failure to insert the connector fully can result in
poor communication or malfunction.
• Note that even while the connector is fully inserted, you still will
be able to see the metal part of the connector as shown in the
illustration.
• When connecting the USB cable to a USB port, make sure you
align the connector correctly with the port.
• Your computer may not be able to recognize the camera if you connect via a
USB hub. Always connect directly to the computer’s USB port.
