USING THE CAMERA WITH A COMPUTER
IMPORTANT!
• See the “Read me” file that comes with Photo Loader for 
information about what you need to do to be able to use 
existing libraries after updating, re-installing Photo Loader, 
or moving Photo Loader to another computer. If you do not 
follow the correct procedure for installation, you may not be 
able to display existing library information or calendar 
format HTML files with Photo Loader, or imported image 
files may be deleted.
Checking Your Computer’s DirectX Version
In order to manage images using Photo Loader, your computer 
also needs to have Microsoft DirectX 9.0 or higher installed. You 
can check the installed version of Microsoft DirectX using your 
PC’s DirectX Diagnostic Tool.
1. On your computer, click “Start”, “All 
Programs”, “Accessories”, “System Tools” 
and then “System Information”.
2. On the “Tools” menu, select “DirectX 
Diagnostic Tool”.
3. On the “System” tab, check to make sure that 
the “DirectX Version” is 9.0 or higher.
4. Click “Exit” to exit the DirectX Diagnostic 
Tool.
• If your PC already has Microsoft DirectX 9.0 or higher 
installed, you do not need to install Microsoft DirectX 9.0c 
from the bundled CD-ROM.
• If your computer does not have Microsoft DirectX 9.0 or 
higher installed, install Microsoft DirectX 9.0c from the 
bundled CD-ROM.
