Quick Start Viewing images on a PC You can view recorded images and edit them on the PC just by connecting the camera to the PC with the USB cable and downloading the images (you need to install the USB driver if you are using Windows 98/98SE). Or you can remove the SD Memory Card / MultiMediaCard from the camera and transfer the data to your PC using a card reader. If you use a laptop computer, you 2 can transfer the image data by fitting the SD Memory Card / MultiMediaCard into the card adapter and inserting the card adapter into the card slot. If you are using a printer that is compatible with PictBridge, you can print pictures by using a USB cable to connect the camera directly to a printer.
