Many current and recent Macintosh computers will automatically recognize the camera and load their own USB mass storage drivers. When you attach the camera to your Mac, the camera should automatically appear right on your desktop as an untitled disk drive, which you can double click to access.

However, if you have a USB capable Macintosh with MacOS 8.6 or greater, and your computer sends you error messages or won't otherwise recognize the camera when it is attached, you may need to download and install these Macintosh USB drivers. Please note, these drivers are also available on the CD-ROM originally packaged with your Optio camera. However, we invite you to download and use the drivers on this page if you are no longer in possession of your original CD-ROM.

Macintosh Download Instructions:

1. Download the o_usbm.sit USB driver file.
2. Double click the o_usbm.sit USB driver file, which is a self extracting archive. It will expand into a folder named o_usbm which will contain the following 3 files:
3. PENTAX-USB Storage Shim(E)
4. PENTAX-USB Storage Driver
5. Read Me - Instructions
6. Drag and drop the PENTAX-USB Storage Shim(E) and PENTAX-USB Storage Driver files onto your System Folder.
7. When you drop these files onto your System Folder, your Mac will ask you if you want to place them into the Extensions folder. Click OK.
8. Reboot your computer and try to connect your camera again. The camera will appear on your desktop as an untitled disk drive.
