Viewing images on your computer – Introduction

When connecting to a computer without a USB connector

Use an optional floppy disk adaptor for Memory Stick or a PC card adaptor for Memory Stick.

When purchasing an accessory, check its catalog beforehand for the recommended operating environment.

When connecting with USB port

You cannot operate your camcorder setting the POWER switch to MEMORY.

Notes on using your computer

“Memory Stick”

•“Memory Stick” operations on your camcorder cannot be assured if a “Memory Stick” formatted on your computer is used on your camcorder, or if the “Memory Stick” in your camcorder was formatted from your computer when the USB cable was connected.

•Do not compress the data on the “Memory Stick.” Compressed files cannot be played back on your camcorder.

Software

•Depending on your application software, the file size may increase when you open a still image file.

•When you load an image modified using retouching software from your computer to your camcorder or when you directly modify the image on your camcorder, the image format will differ so a file error indicator may appear and you may be unable to open the file.

Communications with your computer

Communications between your camcorder and your computer may not recover after recovering from Suspend, Resume, or Sleep.
