Transfering Pictures from a Digital Camera
If you plug a digital camera (or USB media card reader) directly into the
LinkStation, you may automatically download all picture and movie les
directly to the LinkStation.
Begin by connecting the camera to a USB port on the LinkStation and
powering it on. The Power LED on the front of the LinkStation will blink
for about 20 seconds as your camera is mounted.
Once the drive is mounted, quickly press the LinkStations’s power
button twice (do not hold it down) to begin downloading your media les.
While les are downloading, the Disk Full LED will blink red.
When the Disk Full LED ceases to blink, downloading has nished. Press
the Power button one click to dismount your camera. The Power LED
will blink until the dismount has nished, about 20 seconds.
Notes: Your digital camera must support hard drive emulation to do this. If your camera appears as a
hard drive with a drive letter in My Computer when connected to a PC, you can connect it directly to your
LinkStation and download photos and movies automatically.
Never disconnect your digital camera from the LinkStation without dismouting it rst! Doing so could damage
your camera or LinkStation.
Downloaded les will normally appear in the /Share/Pictures folder on your LinkStation. If you change the
media folder from /Share to /Media_Folder on page 65, then downloaded les will appear in Media_Folder/
Pictures.
