Does anyone make a usb cable that will connect directly to camera without using the cradle---I have some photos stored in the camera that are not on the SD card and would like to down load --but I'm away from my dock on vacation and cant download directly from camera--Any help would be appreicated--Thanks Walt
Why don't you just transfer them onto your memory card? If your computer has an SD slot that would work. In your play mode you would just press menu and then copy to card. Otherwise you are going to have to wait until you get back to your dock with your camera.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.
The date and time (and a lot more) are stored with every picture in its EXIF metadata. Any photo viewing/editing program should be able to display this data. To print this data, please consult the documentation for whatever program you're using to print your pictures. Depending on the program and printer you may print the date on the image, in the margins, or on the back.

I always use a card reader ( very cheap e-bay) & you can also buy a seperate battery charger ( again very cheap )
remove battery and charge is more practical / smaller and lighter esp on hols
"The date and time will reset and the setting will need to be readjusted. The camera does not have a separate battery for the clock. The date and time will reset whenever the camera is not supplied power by the battery and USB cradle for about 24 hours." Sounds a bit messy to me.
If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.
And, remember; always include the type of Operating System and the type of computer you own, when you submit your questions.It simply makes for much faster solutions.
Mine does something similar to this and I take it off the cradle, take out the battery, put the battery back in, and then place the camera back on the cradle. Hope this helps.
