manual.
• Users of Windows
XP,
Windows Vista
and
MacOS
X:
Your
camcorder
is
equipped with the standard
Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) allowing
you
to
download still images (JPEG only) simply
by
connecting the camcorder
to
a computer using
the
USB
cable without installing the software
from the supplied software CD-ROM.
Transfers only those images that have not
yet been transferred to the computer.
• When the CARD access indicator
is
on
or
flashing
do
not perform the following actions.
Doing
so
may result
in
permanent data loss.
-
Do
not open the memory card slot cover
and

Do
not disconnect the USB cable.
-
Do
not turn off the camcorder or the computer.

• Operation may not work correctly depending
on
the software
and
the specifications/settings
of your computer.
• The image files
on
your memory card are
valuable, original data files. If you wish
to
use
the
image files
on
your computer, make copies
of them first,
and
use the copied file, retaining
the
original.
