Installing The Digital Video Software - Canon ELURA 100 - Camcorder - 1.3 MP Instruction Manual

Installing the Digital Video Software

Before you connect the camcorder to the computer with the USB cable for the
first time, you must install the Digital Video Software.
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.
It may take a few minutes, after connecting the camcorder, until you can
download images.
Only AVI* movie files can be downloaded. Thumbnails cannot be
downloaded.
* Two files are created in the camcorder (for example: [MVI_0001.AVI] and
[MVI_0001.THM]). [MVI_0001.THM] files cannot be downloaded but
movies can still be played back on the computer.
- When downloading the images by Image Capture that comes with Mac
OS, the Exif version may change to 2.1 and image information may be
modified. Either install ImageBrowser to download the images or use the
following procedures.
1) Connect the camcorder to the computer, and start Image
Capture.
2) Click [Options].
3) Remove the checkmark from [Embed Colorsync profile] in the
[Download Options] tab and click [OK].

CD-ROM drive.
