•The connection may not operate correctly if you are using other USB devices, excluding USB

mice or keyboards, at the same time as the camera. If this occurs, disconnect the other

devices from the computer and try reconnecting the camera.

•Do not connect two or more cameras at the same time to the same computer. The

connections may not operate correctly.

•Never allow the computer to go into standby (sleep) mode while a camera is connected via

the USB interface cable. If it does happen, never disconnect the interface cable. Try to awaken

the computer with the camera in the connected state. Some computers will not awaken

properly if you disconnect the camera while they are in standby (sleep) mode. Please refer to

your computer manual for instructions regarding the standby (sleep) mode.

•You are recommended to power the camera from a household power source

(AC adapter) when connecting to a computer (if available for your camera

model). Ensure that you use fully charged batteries if you will not be using a

household power source.

•See the Camera User Guide for procedures connecting the camera to the

computer.
