Using the Extension Functions
Using the RDC-i Mounter
By installing the RDC-i Mounter in Macintosh, you can copy data and make a
backup file of the camera in a PC.
Important
Note
• The flash lamp (red) blinks during transmission of data to the PC
except when the camera is connected to a LAN.
Do not disconnect the
cable or turn off the camera during transmission as the camera or the
PC may be affected. If the cable is disconnected during transmission,
turn the camera and the PC off and then turn them on again.
• If possible, use an AC adapter and avoid powering the camera by the
battery. If the power fails during operation, the camera and the PC
may be affected.
• In the Finder, you can read the files stored in the camera storage
memory or store them in the memory, but can not store them in the
camera storage memory using the PC application. When you want to
play files created using the PC application, save them in the PC disk
and copy them to the camera in the file name format of ‘8 l
extension’.
• The non-compressed still images are saved in a specific TIFF file
format. The generic graphics applications therefore may not open
those files when you transfer them from the camera to a PC by using
the RDC-i Mounter. In this case, use the TWAIN function (P.140) to
open the TIFF files. The images transferred from the camera to a PC
by using this TWAIN functon will be converted to the generic TIFF
files.
