nah, too small. The USB connection will be under the rubber flap on the front right or rear right of the camera. It is definitely a button we are all talking about. Cheers Shaun Steve Pearson wrote: I think it shows a computer. Thus, it is probably a USB hook up, maybe??? --- Iren & Henry Chu

After looking at some pictures of the *ist-D on "DPReview" I rather think it is for allowing the camera to communicate with ones computer when it is necessary to upload images. On the majority of digital cameras there is a 'play' mode and one has to switch the camera into that mode before it will
