Which connection?
Which connection should you use to transfer pictures between your camera and
computer? That depends on which connections your computer supports. The
following sections will help you determine the connections that your PC
supports.
You specify the type of connection you are using through the Camera Properties
software. For information on how to choose a connection method, refer to
Chapter 5, “Setting camera properties.”
RS-232 Serial
Although not fast (maximum data transfer rate of 115 kb/sec), an RS-232 serial
connection is supported by the vast majority of PC computers. The serial port
option is available on both the WINDOWS 95 and WINDOWS NT 4.0 Operating
Systems.
