Before You Connect the Camera to the Computer
Precautions when Connecting
• The connection may not operate correctly if you attach the camera to the computer with an
interface cable via a USB hub.
• The connection may not operate correctly if you are using other USB devices, excluding USB
mice or keyboards, at the same time as the camera. If this occurs, disconnect the other
devices from the computer and try reconnecting the camera.
• Do not connect two or more cameras at the same time to the same computer. 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 interface 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 (sleep) mode. Please refer to your
computer manual for instructions regarding the standby (sleep) mode.
Security Precautions for Wireless LAN Products
Since wireless LANs use radio signals to exchange information between devices instead of
cables, they have the merits of making a LAN connection possible within the range of the radio
signal. Conversely, the following problems may occur if the network security settings are not
correctly configured because the radio signals can travel beyond barriers (for example, walls) to
their full range.
•Data Content Can Be Spied Upon
Third parties with malicious intent may deliberately eavesdrop on radio signals and spy on
image and other data in transmission.
•Unauthorized Access
Third parties with malicious intent may access the network without consent and obtain image
data (information leakage). They may commit the following offences:
• Impersonate a person and transmit the data to others, distributing fraudulent information
(impersonation)
• Alter and transmit intercepted transmissions (falsification)
• Corrupt image data (data corruption)
Wireless LAN products generally have security features to deal with these issues, allowing you
to configure the security settings and use the product with minimal risk.
If you choose to use the product without configuring the security features, we recommend that
you gain a full understanding of the potential problems and use the product on the basis of
your own judgement and responsibility.
Ensure that you have installed the software from the supplied Canon Digital
Camera Solution Disk before you connect the camera to the computer.
• You are recommended to power the camera from a household power source
(AC adapter) when connecting to a computer (if available for your camera
model). Ensure that you use fully charged batteries if you will not be using a
household power source.
• See the Camera User Guide for procedures connecting the camera to the
computer.

Using the Software on the Windows
Platform – Preparations
This chapter explains the basic procedures for installing the software and connecting the
camera to a computer. Read this material before you connect the camera to the computer.
Installing the Software and USB Driver
Start by installing the software from the Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk.
Items to Prepare
• Your camera and computer
• Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk
• Interface cable supplied with the camera
Installation Procedures
1Confirm that the camera is NOT connected to
the computer.
If it is, disconnect the cable. The software cannot
be properly installed if the camera is connected to
the computer at the start.
2Close any programs that are running.
• You must install the software before you connect the camera to the
computer.
• Windows XP or Windows 2000 users must log on to the computer as the
Administrator before installing the software.
• Windows XP (excluding the 64-bit version) with Service Pack 2 or later
installed is required to use the wireless networking function.
See ArcSoft PhotoStudio (p. 107) for details on how to install ArcSoft
PhotoStudio.

that you select a USB driver from below (the appropriate one for your
operating system).
•Windows 2000/Windows 98 SE: Canon Camera TWAIN Driver
•Windows Me: Canon Camera WIA Driver
With Windows XP, the USB driver supplied with the Windows operating
system is used so there is no need to install a USB driver.
• Wireless connection software is required for a wireless connection
between the camera and computer. Ensure that you select the following
software. Wireless connections are only available for Windows XP
(excluding the 64-bit version) with Service Pack 2 or higher installed.

8Review the installation settings and
click [Next].
Follow the onscreen instructions to
proceed.
The items displayed here differ according to
the software installed.
9When the installation is over, select
[Yes, I want to restart my computer
now.] and click [Finish].
If the camera is connected via a wireless
network, please check your firewall settings
before restarting the computer. See
Firewalls (p. 105).
At this stage, do NOT remove the Solution
Disk from the CD-ROM drive yet.
10 Remove the disk from the CD-ROM drive when your
normal desktop screen appears after restarting.
If a security software warning message appears after you
restart the computer, read Firewalls (p. 105) and change
the settings.
This concludes the software installation.
Continue by connecting the camera to the computer so
that the USB driver can be utilized.
Users of Windows XP and Windows 2000 must log in as an Administrator
(computer system administrator) after restarting to carry out the
subsequent procedures.
If you installed a USB driver, so far the required files have only been
copied to your computer. You must now connect the camera to the
computer with the interface cable to complete the installation and
prepare the driver for use.
