Connecting the Camera to a Computer

There are two possibilities to transfer your files from the DTC 1000 to your PC – either by removing the SD card and inserting it into an SD card reader or 76 connecting the DTC 1000 via USB cable directly to your PC.

Connecting With a USB Cable

Make sure that the camera is turned off before connecting it to a computer. Using the USB cable, connect the camera via the USB port to your PC and then turn the camera on. The camera will be recognized as an external drive – you can view your files directly or copy them to a folder on your PC.

Transferring Photos and Videos Via SD

Card Make sure that the camera is turned off before removing the SD card from its slot as this can damage your SD card. Insert the card into a card reader and then connect the card reader to your PC or if available, insert the card directly into the SD card slot if your mobile device. You can view your files directly or copy them to a folder on your PC.

Format your SD card after copying the files to your PC and before every use – we suggest not to format the card with the DTC 1000 (see also “Format” under “Camera Setting”). This procedure deletes older data from the SD card and prepares your card for an error-free operation in your camera. It is recommended to record some images directly after inserting the SD card to verify the camera’s functionality. Please make sure that the camera is turned off before inserting or removing the SD card.
