Before you attach the camcorder to the computer with the USB cable for
the first time, you must install the Digital Video Software.
Mac OS X Users:
Your digital video camcorder is equipped with the standard Picture
Transfer Protocol (PTP). This protocol enables you to download images by
simply connecting the camera to a computer with the USB cable (using
software such as iPhoto or Image Capture preinstalled on Mac OS X).
However, please note that there are several limitations to downloading
images with this method. To avoid these problems, install ImageBrowser
to download images.
o
It may take a few minutes, after connecting the camcorder, until you
can download images.
o
Only AVI* movie files can be downloaded. Thumbnails cannot be
downloaded.
* Two files are created in the camcorder (for example: [MVL0001.AVI]
and [MVI_0001.THMJ). [MVI_0001.THM] files cannot be downloaded
but moviescan still be played back on the computer.
o
Mac OS X 10.2
• You may not be able to download images with iPhoto if the memory
card contains an enormous volume of images (approx. 900 or more).

modified when downloading images with Image Capture. To
download images without any information changes, use the following
procedures:
1. Connect the camcorder to the computer and prepare it to transfer
data.

Images shot with camcorders complying with Exif Print incorporate
shooting settings information, such as the shooting conditions and
scene mode, along with the image data.
