Connecting your camcorder to a computer using the USB cable (For Windows users)

Complete installation of the USB driver before connecting your camcorder to a computer. If you connect your camcorder to a computer first, you will not be able to install the USB driver correctly.

When connecting to a computer with the USB port

You must install a USB driver onto the computer in order to connect your camcorder to the computer’s USB port. The USB driver can be found on the CD-ROM supplied, along with the application software required for viewing images.

If you connect your camcorder and a computer using the USB cable, you can view pictures live from your camcorder and pictures recorded on the tape on a computer (USB Streaming function).

Furthermore, if you download pictures from your camcorder to a computer, you can process or edit them in image processing software and attach them to e-mail.

You can view images recorded on the “Memory Stick” on a computer (DCR-TRV22/ TRV33 only).
