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.

■Movie Playback Precautions

•Be sure to move the movie data to the hard disk of your PC before trying to play it. Proper movie playback may not be possible for data accessed over a network, from a memory card, etc.

•Proper movie playback may not be possible on some computers. If you experience problems, try the following.

–Try recording movies with a quality setting of “Normal” or “LP”.

–Try upgrading Windows Media Player to the latest version.

–Quit any other applications you have running, and stop resident applications.

Even if proper playback is not possible on the computer, you can use the AV cable that comes bundled with the camera to connect to the video input terminal a TV or computer and play back movies that way.

Transferring Images to the Camera

In order to return images from your computer memory back to the camera, install Photo Transport on your computer from the CD-ROM that comes with the camera.

■Installing Photo Transport
