Transferring pictures to your PMA430
From a camera, you can transfer your pictures to your PMA430 by first putting them on your PC.
Then connect the PMA430 to your computer and paste your image files to the
Photos
folder of the
PMA430 hard drive. Another possibility is to connect your digital still camera to the USB Host
port using the included short USB Host cable adapter.
If your camera follows the Mass Storage Class (MSC) standard for USB connection, then your
camera will show up in the file browser as the folder
/ExternalDevice
. If you look in this folder
you will see your photos. See the chapter on the
File Browser
for instructions on how to copy
files.
Attention:
Not all digital cameras are MSC type devices, in which case you will have to
transfer your images to your computer first. Note also that you cannot transfer files from your
PMA400 to a camera!.
