Connecting to a Computer Using a USB Cable

You can download images from the memory card to a computer using the supplied software and USB cable. For details, refer to the Digital Video Software Instruction Manual. Users of Windows OS can transfer images by simply pressing the (print/share) button ( 131).

❍Do not disconnect the USB cable, open the memory card cover, remove the memory card, change the position of the TAPE/CARD switch or turn off the camcorder and 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.

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

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

❍Make sure that camcorder and computer are not connected with a DV cable before connecting the camcorder to the computer using the USB cable. Otherwise, the computer may not operate properly.

❍We recommend powering the camcorder from a household power source

while it is connected to the computer.

❍Refer also to the computer instruction manual.

❍Images recorded on a tape cannot be transferred to a computer via USB interface.

❍Users of Windows XP and Mac OS X:

Your camcorder is equipped with the standard Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) allowing you to download still images (JPEG only) by simply connecting the camcorder to a computer via USB cable without installing the software from the DIGITAL VIDEO SOLUTION DISK.
