The camera enters the USB storage mode.
During USB storage mode, [USB STORAGE CONNECTED] is displayed at the center of the viewfinder screen and the <USB> lamp is illuminated. [USB STORAGE CONNECTING...] is displayed and the <USB> lamp flashes when transferring to USB connection or the hard disc drive is not correctly connected.
[USB MODE] can be assigned to the <USER> buttons (<USER MAIN>/<USER1>/<USER2>/<USER5>), the <SHOT MARKER>, and <TEXT MEMO> buttons in the main menu → [CAMERA] → [USER SW]; pressing these buttons switches between USB storage mode and normal mode. However, if these buttons are pressed while a menu or thumbnail is open, the mode cannot be changed to USB storage mode or normal mode.
For details, refer to “Assigning functions to <USER> buttons”.
