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]

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

•Depending on the number of images in the memory (Windows: 1,800 images or more; Macintosh: 1,000 images or more), you may not be able to transfer images to a computer. Try using a card reader (for images in the internal memory, copy them to the memory card first).
