CONNECTING TO A COMPUTER 37  
CONNECTING TO A COMPUTER  
This section describes the procedures to install software and  
connect your camera to your computer. You can then copy photos  
to your computer or use it as a PC camera.  
COPYING PHOTOS AND VIDEO CLIPS TO A COMPUTER  
Your digital camera stores images as digital data, rather than on  
film. This means you can copy your photos and video clips to a  
computer for storage, viewing, printing, and distribution.  
After copying to your computer, you can delete the copies stored  
on the camera’s internal memory or the Secure Digital card.  
Deleting images from your camera frees up space for new photos  
and video clips.  
USING YOUR CAMERA AS A PC CAMERA  
With your camera in PC mode, you can use it with the supplied  
Visioneer Digital Camera Utility software to create your own video  
clips. You can also use other commercially available video capture  
software and real-time video conferencing software such as  
Microsoft NetMeetingTM.
