Do not disconnect the DV cable, or turn off the camcorder or computer while data is being transferred to the computer.

Operation may not work correctly depending on the software and the specifications/settings of your computer.

We recommend powering the camcorder from a household power source

while it is connected to the computer.

Refer also to the instruction manual of the computer.

Optional software required. Refer also to the instruction manual of the software.

For transferring recordings from a memory card to the computer using a USB cable, see p. 135.

DV NETWORK SOLUTION DISK (Windows XP Users)

Windows XP users can use the software on the supplied DV NETWORK SOLUTION DISK to perform videoconference and file transfer over the Internet, or upload files from the computer to the memory card and use the camcorder as card reader/writer. The available functions depend upon the camcorder model and the networking environment. For details, refer to the DV NETWORK SOLUTION DISK Software Instruction Manual.

Do not disconnect the DV cable, remove the memory card or turn off the camcorder or computer while data is being transferred to the computer (while the camcorder’s card access indicator is flashing). Doing so may damage the memory card’s data.

The image files on your memory card and the image files saved on the hard disk drive of your computer are your valuable, original data files. If you wish to use image files on your computer, be sure to make copies of them first, retaining the original.
