NOTES

•The time required to convert scenes is approximately equal to the total playback time of the converted scenes. In most cases this is still faster than converting the scenes in the computer so we recommend you convert scenes in the camcorder.

•If after converting the scenes you selected the [End Without Connect- ing] option, you will need to upload the SD movies manually when you connect the camcorder to the computer. First, open the [SD Movies] index screen on the memory card that contains the converted SD mov- ies and save them to the computer (0123). Then, use the supplied PIXELA’s software to upload the SD movies to the Web.

•You can check and play back the converted SD movies from the [SD Movies] index screen on the memory card used for the conversion.
