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 connect the camcorder to the computer while it is set to mode, the process of creating scene thumbnails will start automatically. If your intention was to save photos to the computer, you can touch [Skip] to stop the process and use the computer’s Safely Remove Hard- ware function (Windows) or Eject function (Mac OS) to end the connec- tion to the camcorder. Disconnect the USB cable, set the camcorder to mode and restore the connection.

Saving Movies onto Standard-Definition Discs (DVD)

You can convert your high-definition video recordings into standard definition in the camcorder and then use the supplied software Video- Browser to save the converted scenes and burn them onto standard DVDs in your computer. These are ideal for sharing your videos with family and friends since, unlike AVCHD or Blu-ray discs, standard DVDs can be played back on most DVD players and computers’ DVD drives.

Installation

Install the software before you connect the camcorder to the computer for the first time. Refer to the Installation Guide (supplied leaflet) and follow the instructions in the Software Guide (PDF file) to install the supplied PIXELA’s software.
