Glossary USB - The Universal Serial Bus port, is a type of connection that is available on modern PCs. Digital Cameras and other computer peripherials can be connected to the USB port for high speed data transfer. Modern digital cameras use the USB port which is many times quicker at downloading images than cameras which use the serial port.
Most modern computers have a USB port.
Some operating systems such as Windows NT 4 and Windows 95 do not support the USB port. More information can be found in the 'About digital cameras' section of our site.
