Connecting the Camera to Your Computer
PUSH button
● Use only the interface cable bundled with the camera to connect the camera to
your computer.
● Push the plug firmly all the way into the socket. Loose connections can cause
faults or malfunctions.
● Connect the camera directly to a USB port on the computer; not through a hub.
The connection may not operate correctly through a hub.
● The connection may not operate correctly if you are using other USB devices,
excluding USB mouse or keyboards, at the same time. If this occurs, disconnect
the other devices from the computer and try reconnecting the camera.
● Do not connect more than one camera to the same computer. The connections
may not operate correctly.
● While the camera and your computer are communicating, the camera’s LCD
panel may blink and, if you are using the LCD monitor, the image on the monitor
may flicker. This is not malfunction.
● When you unplug the interface cable from the camera’s
DIGITAL terminal, press the PUSH button on the plug as
you pull the plug out.
● If you leave the camera unused for approximately 5
minutes while it is connected to your computer, a
confirmation message appears on the computer screen
asking whether you wish to continue communicating with
the camera. If you do not do anything, the connection to
the camera is terminated after approximately 1 minute. (If you are using a
household power source, no message is displayed and the connection is not
terminated.) To re-establish the connection, press the shutter button down
halfway or set the camera’s main switch to <OFF> and then back to <ON>.
Refer to the EOS D60 Instructions provided with the camera for details.
● Do not put your computer to sleep while it is connected to the camera.
If you do put your computer to sleep while it is connected to the camera, never
disconnect the interface cable while your computer is still in sleep mode. Always
wake your computer up before disconnecting the camera. On some types of
computer, disconnecting the interface cable while your computer is in sleep mode
could prevent the computer from waking up correctly. Refer to the computer
User’s Manual for more information on Sleep mode.
When you connect your camera to a computer, you should use the DC Coupler Kit so
that you can continue to use your camera regardless of battery level.
