Setting the Communication Mode

To communicate with the camera using the software on the SOLUTION DISK, set the camera’s

communication mode to [Normal].

Downloading JPEG Images Using the PTP Function

Windows XP or Mac OS X (10.1 or later) users can use the PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol)

function. The PTP function allows you to download JPEG images stored on a CF card in the

camera to your computer without having to start the software provided on the SOLUTION DISK.

When the [PTP] communication mode is set, the SOLUTION DISK software cannot

communicate with the camera. When using the software, always set [Normal] as the

communication mode.

Always ensure that the camera is not connected to the computer before setting the

communication mode. Setting the mode while the camera and computer are connected causes

camera or software malfunctions.

Set [Communication] in menu option to [Normal].

The PTP function is only available to Windows XP or Mac OS X (10.1 or later) users. This function
