Troubleshooting
When the “Could not complete installation correctly”, “Communication between the camera
and computer failed” or “Software not running correctly” message appears, check the items
described below.
I have installed the software but the camera and
computer cannot communicate.
Does your computer comply with these requirements?
A Macintosh computer with a USB connector as a standard feature.
* Operation is not guaranteed when the camera is connected to a USB interface that is
not a standard feature of the computer.
Are the camera and computer connected correctly?
Connect the camera to your computer correctly using the dedicated USB cable. (M-9)
Is the correct communication mode selected on the camera?
To use the SOLUTION DISK software, set the camera’s communication mode to
[Normal]. If you are using the PTP function in OS X, set the mode to [PTP] (M-8).
Is there sufficient charge left in the camera battery?
Your computer does not supply power to the camera. Connect the DC Coupler Kit
(optional) to the camera or load a fully charged battery into the camera before
connecting it to your computer. (“Installing and Removing the Battery” in the Instructions
provided with your camera)
Do you have more than one camera connected to your computer?
If you connect more than one camera to the same computer, the driver and camera may
not operate normally.
Close the software and disconnect all the dedicated USB cables. Then reconnect just the
dedicated USB cable that connects the camera to your computer.
Are you using the camera on a first-generation iMac without having first
updated the firmware?
Update the firmware using the iMac Firmware Update and then update the system software
to OS X or OS 9.
You can download the iMac Firmware Update from Apple’s web site.
Purchase OS X or OS 9 from your Apple retailer.
(* Version 10.2 of OS X and version 9.2 of OS 9 are recommended.)
