If you wish to use the image files on your computer, make copies of them first. Use the copied files, retaining the originals.

During the following operations, even if you connect the camcorder to the computer it will not be recognized.

NOTES

We recommend powering the camcorder using the compact power adapter.

Refer also to the computer’s instruction manual.

Users of Windows Vista, Windows XP and Mac OS X: Your camcorder is equipped with the standard Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) allowing you to transfer still images (JPEG only) simply by connecting the camcorder to a

computer using the USB cable without having to install the supplied software.

If you have no intention to use the optional DW-100 DVD Burner, you can

set [USB SETTING] to [PC/PRINTER]

( 94) so the selection screen does not appear every time you connect the camcorder to a computer.
