Have just tried to connect my new 300d but my software requires firewire,
The cable supplied appears to be usb, Perhaps 4 pin to 6pin? Is it poss to
get an adapter or new lead, If I am missing something obvious I am a newbee,
Cheers.

Hi there.

Don't quite understand what you mean my "my software requires Firewire".
Does your computer have USB?

If it does, and it is a PC, then all you have to do is connect the Camera by
the USB cable - switch the camera on - go to my Computer, and you should see
a new Drive, which will be your camera.

Just Click through the contained folders, on that drive, until you see your
picture files, then Copy them to your Hard Drive.
