Connecting to aComputer
This section describes
how
to
use
the supplied
UC-E4
USB
cable
to
connect
the
camera
to
a computer. Before connecting
the
camera,
install Nikon Transfer and ViewNX from
the
supplied Software
Suite
CD
(see
the
Install Guide for more information). Nikon
Transfer starts automatically when the camera
is
connected and
is
used
to
copy photographs
to
the
computer, where
they
can
be
viewed using ViewNX (Nikon Transfer can also be used
to
back
up
photographs and embed information in photographs
as
they
are
transferred, while ViewNX
can
be used
to
sort photographs,
convert images
to
different file formats, and perform simple
editing
on
NEF
(RAW)
photographs).
To
ensure
that
data transfer
is
not
interrupted, be sure
the
camera battery
is
fully charged.
If
in
doubt,
charge
the
battery before
use
or
use
an
EH-Sa
or
EH-S
AC
adapter (available separately).
