NOTES

Refer also to the computer’s instruction manual.

Users of Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP and Mac OS X: Your cam- corder is equipped with the standard Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) allowing you to transfer photos (JPEG only) simply by connecting the camcorder to a computer using the supplied USB cable, without having to install the supplied software Photo Application.

If you have no intention to use the optional DW-100 DVD Burner, you can set 88[USB Connection Type] to [NComputer/Printer] so the selection screen does not appear every time you connect the cam- corder to a computer.
