Chapter 9: Using images with your computer Before transferring image data to your computer Notes • When you connect the camera to your computer with the cradle, use the AC adapter whenever possible. When using the battery, be sure that the battery has sufficient power. Note that the camera's battery will continuously discharge (use energy) when connected (communicating) with a computer. If the battery power is exhausted, the camera will stop operating and the computer may malfunction and the image data (files) being transferred may be lost. • Do not turn the camera off when the camera is connected with a computer, doing so may cause a malfunction. • If the camera is connected to a computer via a USB hub, reliable operation cannot be guaranteed. If a malfunction should occur, connect the camera directly to the computer without using the USB hub. Using the images imported in your computer Be sure to use the images copied to the computer when you edit images using graphic software. Depending on the application software used, editing images (such as rotating) on the picture card may cause damage to the file data on the card. If the image data cannot be transferred from the card in the camera connected using the USB cable Use an xD-Picture Card adapter (sold separately) depending the operating system for transferring the image data from the xD-Picture card to a computer.
