Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

Did you install all software that came with your camera? If so, you should've seen a balloon on the bottom right corner of the computer screen saying the software was "successfully installed and ready to use" at the time of installation. Try this, then turn on the camera and connect it to the computer. The message doesn't go away because it's constantly looking for a connection to your computer, which your computer isn't detecting and is most likely that the proper drivers (which are in the CD) were not installed.

Make sure the camera is on and pc is selected on the camera screen when connected to the computer. You will need to have PC highlighted and select ok on the camera as this starts the camera and computer to communicate. Once communication established the LCD screen of the camera goes dark and the computer should generate a removable disk drive. Check the System Tray (lower right corner beside the PC time) for Safely Remove Hardware. When you click on it, it should read "Safely Remove USB Mass Storage Device Drive ?:" If you dont see that, then check the Device Manager to see if the camera is recognized as USB Mass Storage Device. Sounds like you may need to reinstall the device driver for the camera. The camera uses the driver usbstor.

With the camera turned off, connect the USB cable to the PC and plug the smaller end into the camera. The camera will turn on and display the USB selection screen. Use the arrow keys to select the PC option and then press the OK button. The camera will be recognized by the computer as a removable drive. To edit and manage images with a computer, install the Olympus Master 1.0 software from the supplied CD-ROM. After installing the software, connect your camera to the PC via the provided USB cable.
