Sharing and printing images 37 Unloading images to a Macintosh computer Unloading is the process of copying images from the CF memory card in the camera to a computer. You can unload images from your camera in two ways: automatically, or by mounting the camera as a disk drive. If you have a CF card reader installed on your computer, insert the CF memory card into the card reader. Then, access your images on the CF memory card just as you would access files on a floppy disk. Card readers can be purchased from www. hpshopping. com (selected countries/regions only), or from your local digital camera or electronics store. Printing photos on a printer equipped with a card reader If your printer has a slot for a CF memory card, as the SONY photosmart 1000 and higher series printers do, you can print your images directly from the card. For more information, see your printer's documentation. 40 SONY photosmart 715 user guide 6 Maintaining your camera This chapter describes how to use batteries or an alternating current (AC) power adapter to power your camera, how to care for your camera and CF memory card, and how to use your camera safely. Powering your camera Your digital camera can be powered by batteries or an SONY-approved AC power adapter. To preserve battery power, use an AC adapter (purchased separately) when you are reviewing images on the display for an extended period of time, or when you are transferring photos from the camera to your computer. Determining if the batteries need to be changed The battery symbol on the status LCD indicates the charge level of the batteries. There are three levels of battery charge: good, low, and empty. Good Low Empty If the battery symbol shows that the batteries are low, it is almost time to replace the batteries. Maintaining your camera 41 Note When the empty-battery symbol on the status LCD begins blinking and the camera beeps repeatedly, the power is about to shut off. You need to replace the batteries before you can take another picture. The life of the batteries depends on several factors. temperature conditions (operating the camera at colder temperatures results in shorter battery life). the type of battery (photo-lithium batteries have the longest life, alkaline have the shortest). To extend battery life When using the camera with a computer or when using the image display for extended periods of time, use an AC power adapter that SONY has approved for use with the digital camera. Limit your use of the image display, except when using an AC power adapter. Use only batteries that are designed for digital cameras, such as photo-quality titanium, alkaline, photo-lithium, or rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, available from various battery manufacturers.
