Selecting the USB Connection Mode
The camcorder automatically selects the correct mode for
downloading still images or MPEG-4 movies to the computer. When
downloading or printing still images, set the camcorder to still image
playback mode and connect it to a computer or a printer. When
downloading movies, set the camcorder to movie playback mode and
connect it to a computer.
We recommend setting the USB connection mode to [STANDARD].
When the camcorder is set to [STORAGE], it will be recognized as
[Removable Disk] (USB mass storage device) by the computer. You can
use the camcorder like a card reader/writer and download/upload still
images and movies to/from the computer without installing the
provided software.
Still Images are saved in the [***CANON] folder of the [DCIM] folder,
and movies are saved in the [PRL***] folder of the [SD_VIDEO] folder.
