If this occurs, disconnect the other devices from the computer and try reconnecting the camera. •Do not connect two or more cameras at the same time to the same computer via the USB interface. The connections may not operate correctly. •Never allow the computer to go into standby (sleep) 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 standby (sleep) mode. Please refer to your computer manual for instructions regarding the standby (sleep) mode. You are recommended to power the camera from a household power source (AC adapter) when connecting to a computer (if available for your camera model). Ensure that you use fully charged batteries if you will not be using a household power source. See the page (pp. 108 - 109) for your specific model for information about connecting the camera to the computer.
