How do I check card memory?
If you’re not sure how much free space the memory card in your camera contains, connect the Z16 to
your computer using the USB cable. The device will pop up on a Windows computer as a removable
disk followed by a letter. Right-click on Properties to see how much space has been used and how
much free space remains.
Can I use the Z16 as a live Web cam?
No. The camera will not record when attached to a computer via its USB cable. It will charge and play
recorded video through a media player on your computer.
