b Notes
• Even in a computer environment where the
operations are guaranteed, frames may be
dropped from movies, resulting in uneven
playback. However, imported images and
images on a DVD created subsequently will not
be affected.
• Operations are not guaranteed, even on
computers fulfilling the above system
requirements.
• Picture Motion Browser does not support 5.1ch
surround sound reproduction. The sound is
reproduced in 2ch sound.
• If you use a Notebook computer, connect it to
the AC Adaptor as the power source. Otherwise,
the software will not work properly due to the
power saving function of the computer.
z Tips
• If your computer has a Memory Stick slot, insert
the "Memory Stick Duo" on which still images
are recorded into the Memory Stick Duo
Adaptor (optional), then insert it into the
Memory Stick slot on your computer to import
still images to the computer.
• When using a "Memory Stick PRO Duo" and
your computer is not compatible with it, connect
your camcorder with the USB cable instead of
using the Memory Stick slot on the computer.
Use a special caution for preventing
damages and malfunctions of the
camcorder
• When connecting your camcorder with the USB
cable or other cable, make sure you insert the
connector in the correct direction. Do not insert
the connector forcibly as it may damage the
cable or your camcorder.
• Be sure to use the supplied software when
operating images recorded on the camcorder
through a computer.
On screenshots
• The screenshots are from Windows XP. The
scenes may vary depending on the operating
system of the computer.
• On screenshots in this Handbook, the
application for English version is used. When
you install the application, you can select other
language (p. 75).
