IMPORTANT
• Before saving scenes to your computer with Data Import Utility using a memory card reader or your
computer's memory card slot, do not access or manipulate the files on the memory card with other
software. Failing to do so may result in not being able to save the files to your computer.
• When the camcorder is connected to a computer:
- Do not open the double memory card slot cover.
- Do not change or delete any of the camcorder's folders or files directly from the computer as this
may result in permanent data loss.
- Do not set the computer in Sleep or Hibernate mode (Windows) and do not activate the Sleep
function (Mac OS).
• If you wish to use the recordings on your computer, make copies of them first. Use the copied files,
retaining the originals.
