Transferring Images to a Computer for Viewing

What if you can’t play back movies on a computer?

•Install the included software (p. 34).

•When watching a movie on a computer, frames may drop, it may not play smoothly, and the audio may stop suddenly depending on the computer’s capabilities.

•If you use the supplied software to copy the movie back onto the memory card, you can play back the movie smoothly with the camera. For enhanced playback you can also connect the camera to a TV.

Transferring Images to a Computer for Viewing

You can use the included software to transfer images you have shot with the camera to a computer for viewing. If you are already using software included with another Canon-brand compact digital camera, install the software from the included CD-ROM, overwriting your current installation.
