Getting pictures off of camera body

[Guest]

I took a bunch of pictures with my S the other day and my CF card reader is iffy so I dont want to damage the card. How can I get the images off the camera body??. Some cameras allow you to plug in a USB cable and get them that way......is it possible with the S007??

There was a USB cable in the box when you purchased the camera. On one end, it has a normal USB connection, the other end is a "LEMO", a narrow cylindrical ending with a bayonet (I think it has a little red dot on it to match to the correct socket on the left side of the camera body, under the rubber flap - the other socket, I think marked with a blue dot - is for the flash sync cable that was also in the box). I use this USB cable all the time for tethered shooting but I also downloaded the images from the camera through it during my last shoot, when the tethering stopped working for a while and I had to get the pics in the computer whilst having no card reader with me. So, I know it works (it's a USB3 version, so it is quite quick).

BTW, there's no shame in consulting the manual...page 51.

In the end run, get a new CF card reader as the cord is an annoyance...

Indeed, get a new CF card reader. Its not like they would be expensive.
