Depending on the number of images on the memory card, you may not be able to download images to a computer (Windows: more than 1800 images; Macintosh: more than 1000 images). In such case, use a card reader.

Connection to a PictBridge compliant printer will not work when the memory card contains more than 1800 images. For best performance, we recommend to keep the number of images on the memory card less than 100.

Users of Windows XP: When you plan to connect the camcorder to a computer using a USB cable, keep the length of one movie shorter than approx. 12 min. in 320 x 240 and 35 min. in 160 x 120.
