Connecting to other equipment

Connecting to a PC

You can acquire recorded pictures to a PC by connecting the camera and the PC.

•Some PCs can read directly from the card removed from the camera. For details, refer to the operating instructions of your PC.

•If you are using SDXC memory cards and your PC shows a message prompting you to format the card take notice. Check to be sure your PC supports SDXC memory cards. Formatting the card will cause recorded images to be erased and can reduce the card’s capacity.

If the card is not recognized, please refer to the below support site. http://panasonic.net/avc/sdcard/information/SDXC.html

•You can easily print out or mail the pictures you have imported. Use of the “PHOTOfunSTUDIO 6.0 HD Edition” bundled software on the CD-ROM (supplied) is a convenient way of doing this.

•Read the separate operating instructions for the supplied software for more information about the software in the CD-ROM (supplied) and how to install it.

Acquiring of still pictures and [MOTION JPEG] motion pictures

(other than [AVCHD] motion pictures)

Preparations: Turn on the camera and the PC.

AUSB connection cable (supplied)

•Check the directions of the connectors, and plug them straight in or unplug them straight out.

(Otherwise the connectors may be bent out of shape which may cause malfunction.)

BAlign the marks, and insert.

•Use a battery with sufficient battery power or the AC adaptor (optional). If the remaining battery power becomes low while the camera and the PC are communicating, the status indicator blinks and the alarm beeps.

Refer to “Disconnecting the USB connection cable safely” (P180) before disconnecting the USB connection cable. Otherwise, data may be destroyed.
