Connecting to a Computer This section describes how to use the supplied UC-E4 USB cable to connect the camera to a computer. Before connecting the camera, install Nikon Transfer and ViewNX from the supplied Software Suite CD (see the Software Installation Guide for more information). Nikon Transfer starts automatically when the camera is connected and is used to copy photographs to the computer, where they can be viewed using ViewNX (Nikon Transfer can also be used to back up photographs and embed information in photographs as they are transferred, while ViewNX can be used to sort photographs, convert images to different file formats, process NEF/RAW photographs, and modify NEF/RAW, TIFF, and JPEG images). To ensure that data transfer is not interrupted, be sure the camera battery is fully charged. If in doubt, charge the battery before use or use an EH-6 AC adapter (available separately). ❚❚ Supported Operating Systems The supplied software can be used with computers running the following operating systems: • Windows: Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (Home Basic/ Home Premium/Business/Enterprise/Ultimate; runs in 32-bit emulation mode under 64-bit versions) and Windows XP Service Pack 3 (Home Edition/Professional) • Macintosh: Mac OS X (version 10.3.9, 10.4.11, or 10.5.7) See the websites listed on page xxiv for the latest information on supported operating systems. Q D Connecting Cables Be sure the camera is off when connecting or disconnecting interface cables. Do not use force or attempt to insert the connectors at an angle. 254
