Playing Movies

Windows Media Player, which is already installed on most computers, can be used for movie playback. To play back a movie, first copy the movie to your computer and then double- click the movie file.

In order to play a movie recorded with this camera on your computer using Windows Media Player, you need to install the MPEG-4 codec. The method you should use to install the codec depends on whether or not you have access to an Internet connection. Perform either of the procedures below, in accordance with your Internet availability.

Installing the Codec on a Computer that Can Connect to the Internet

1.Connect your computer to the Internet.

2.Double-click the movie file that was recorded with the camera.

If your PC does not have the MPEG-4 codec installed, it will connect to the Microsoft website automatically and download it.

3.Install the downloaded MPEG-4 codec.

After installation is complete, playback of the movie file will start automatically.

NOTE

If your computer already has the MPEG-4 codec installed, it will start playing the movie as soon as you double-click it.
