Windows 25 Connecting the Camera to a Computer Connection Precautions • Do not connect the camera to the computer until you have installed the software from the Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk. • Use the USB cable to attach the camera directly to a USB port on the computer, not through a USB hub. The connection may not operate correctly through a USB hub. • 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 to the same computer via the USB interface. The connections may not operate correctly. • You are recommended to power the camera from a household power source (AC adapter) when connecting to a computer. • Never allow the computer to go into sleep (standby) mode while a camera is connected via the USB interface. If it does happen, never disconnect the USB 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 sleep (standby) mode. Please refer to your computer manual for instructions regarding the sleep (standby) mode. 1. Confirm that the bundled software is already completely installed on the computer. (This step is only required the first time.) 2 Confirm that the camera's [Communication] setting is set to [Normal] and shut off the camera power. • You must select the [Normal] option when you are using the software from the Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk to download images from the camera. See the Camera User Guide for the settings procedures. 3. Attach the supplied USB cable to the computer's USB port and the camera's DIGITAL terminal. • You do not need to turn off the computer for this procedure. Refer to the computer's manual for the location of the USB ports. See the Camera User Guide for instructions for attaching the cable. 4. Set the mode switch to Replay mode and turn the camera on. (PowerShot S230 DIGITAL ELPH/DIGITAL IXUS v3 only). • You do not have to power up the PowerShot G3 or PowerShot S45 models. See the following pages for the next steps.
