Selecting the USB Connection Mode

You can choose between [STANDARD] and [STORAGE] mode when connecting the

camcorder to a computer using the USB cable.

STANDARD The camcorder automatically selects the correct mode for downloading still images or MPEG-4 movies to the computer. When downloading or printing still images, set the camcorder to still image playback mode and connect it to a computer or a printer. When downloading movies, set the camcorder to movie playback mode and connect it to a computer.

We recommend setting the USB connection mode to [STANDARD].

STORAGE

When the camcorder is set to [STORAGE], it will be recognized as

 

[Removable Disk] (USB mass storage device) by the computer. You can

 

use the camcorder like a card reader/writer and download/upload still

 

images and movies to/from the computer without installing the

 

provided software.

 

 

 

 

Still Images are saved in the [***CANON] folder of the [DCIM] folder,

 

and movies are saved in the [PRL***] folder of the [SD_VIDEO] folder.

Do not connect the camcorder to a printer when [ CONNECT] is set to

❍In [STANDARD] mode, install the supplied Digital Video Software when

downloading still images to a computer. For details, refer to the Digital Video Software Instruction Manual.

❍Users of Windows 98 must install the DVC Storage Driver from the DIGITAL VIDEO SOLUTION DISK For Windows when downloading movies to a computer in [STANDARD] mode or when you have set the camcorder to [STORAGE] mode. With Windows Me/Windows 2000/Windows XP and Mac OS 9 or later, an OS standard driver will be installed automatically.
