Viewing Video Directly From the SD Card

You can view the saved video files on your computer (PC or Mac) by using an SD card reader (not included). Saved video files are in AVI format.

NOTE: Some PCs and Macs may have an SD card reader built-in. Please refer to your computer’s instruction manual for more details.

PC

ATTENTION: The XviD, DivX, or FFDShow codec is required if attempting to view the video files in Windows Media Player™. You can also view AVI files natively in other media players such as VLC and DivX Player.
