Copying Pictures to a Computer
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 Software
Installation 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-5a or EH-5
AC adapter (available separately).
