Users of Windows Vista, Windows XP and
Mac OS X:
Your camcorder is equipped
with the standard Picture Transfer
Protocol (PTP) allowing you to transfer
still images (JPEG only) simply by
connecting the camcorder to a
computer using the USB cable without
having to install the supplied software.
If you have no intention to use the
optional DW-100 DVD Burner, you can
set [USB SETTING] to [
PC/PRINTER]
(
97) so the selection screen does not
appear every time you connect the
camcorder to a computer.
Depending on the number of images in
the memory (Windows: 1,800 images or
more; Macintosh: 1,000 images or
more), you may not be able to transfer
images to a computer. Try using a card
reader (for images in the internal
memory, copy them to the memory card
first).
