Connecting to a USB Port

Connection Precautions

- 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 mice or keyboards, at the same time. If this occurs, disconnect the other devices from the computer and try reconnecting the camera.

- Do not connect two or more cameras to the same computer via the USB interface. The connections may not operate correctly.

- Never allow the computer to go into standby (sleep) mode while a camera is connected via the USB interface. If it does happen, never disconnect the USB cable. Try to awaken the computer with the camera in the connected state. Some computers will not awaken properly if you disconnect the camera while they are in standby mode. Please refer to

your computer manual for instructions regarding its standby mode.

1. Install the software (first-time connection only). The software must be installed before connecting the camera.

- See the Question on installing the Canon Digital Camera Solution software.

2. Attach the supplied USB cable to the computer's USB port and the camera?s Digital Terminal.

- You do not need to turn off the computer for this procedure.

- Refer to your computer manual for the location of the computer's USB ports.

3. Prepare the camera for communication with the computer.

- Turn the camera's Mode Dial to the arrowhead icon. On the PowerShot A100/A200, press the On button on the back of the camera.
