Using a Computer
Connecting the camera to a computer enables the following.
The procedure for this is different on Windows PCs and Macintosh computers.
Depending on the performance of your PC, how it is set up and which software is
installed, you may not be able to successfully view or save still images and videos on
your PC.
Connecting the camera to a PC allows you to save images (files such as still images
and videos) to the PC and to view images on the PC.
IMPORTANT!
• Do not disconnect the cable or operate the camera while viewing or saving images.
Doing so could cause file corruption.

Using a Windows PC
Saving and viewing images on a PC
Do not use a PC to manipulate images in built-in memory or on memory
cards, including modifying, deleting, moving or renaming the images.
Doing so causes inconsistencies with the image management data and may
prevent images being played back on the camera or radically alter the number of
images shot. Operations such as image modification, deletion, relocation and
renaming should be carried out on images saved on the PC.
