Solve : USB Port Safety?

Answer»

Hi;
I'm getting a DIGITAL camera.  It has a USB connection.  What I need to know is; Is it safe to connect or DISCONNECT the USB cable to/from the computer while the computer is on, or should I shut the computer off before I connect or disconnect it?  Also, is it safe to connect/disconnect the camera to/from the USB plug while the computer is on?  Thanks for your answers.

"Also, is it safe to connect/disconnect the camera to/from the USB plug while the computer is on? "

YES ....but make sure the camera is POWERED off.

Double CHECK your camera manual just to be sure .
