Transferring Images to a Computer for Viewing

How can I play back movies on a computer?

Install the included software (p. 34).

•When watching a movie on a computer, frames may drop, it may not play smoothly, and the audio may stop suddenly depending on the computer’s capabilities. Use the supplied software to copy the movie back onto the memory card, then play back the movie with the camera. If you connect the camera to a TV, you can view images on the larger screen.

Transferring Images to a Computer for Viewing

You can use the included software to transfer images you have shot with the camera to a computer for viewing. If you are already using software included with another Canon-brand compact digital camera, install the software from the included CD-ROM, overwriting your current installation.
