Camera/Camcorder–Computer Connection Precautions

• When connecting the camera/camcorder to a computer via an interface cable, connect the

interface cable directly to the USB port. Connection via a USB hub may prevent correct opera-

tion.

• Using other USB devices (except USB mouse devices or keyboards) when the camera/cam-

corder is connected may prevent correct operation. In this case, disconnect the other devices

from the computer and reconnect the camera/camcorder.

• Do not connect multiple cameras or camcorders to a single computer. This may prevent cor-

rect camera/camcorder operation.

• Do not allow the computer to enter sleep (or standby) mode while a camera/camcorder is con-

nected via an interface cable. If this does happen, leave the interface cable connected to the

computer and try to wake the computer while the camera is still connected. Some computers

may not recover from sleep correctly if the interface cable is disconnected while they are in

sleep mode. For details on sleep or standby mode, refer to the computer user manual.

• Do not disconnect your camera/camcorder from the computer while the CameraWindow (or

EOS Utility) screen is displayed.

• When connecting a battery-powered camera/camcorder to the computer, make sure

the device is fully charged, or use an AC adapter kit or a compact power adapter

(may be sold separately, depending on your model).

• When connecting an AA battery-powered camera/camcorder to the computer, use

batteries with sufficient charge, optional fully charged AA NiMH batteries, or an

optional compact power adapter.

• For connection instructions, refer to the camera/camcorder user guide. For connec-

tion precautions, see “Camera/Camcorder–Computer Connection Precautions”.
