Connecting The Camcorder To A Computer - Canon Optura 200MC Instruction Manual

Connecting the Camcorder to a Computer

Connection Precautions
• Make sure the camcorder is being powered using the power adapter before
connecting it to a computer.
• Be sure to install the DIGITAL VIDEO SOLUTION DISK before you connect the
camcorder to the computer.
• Connect the camcorder directly to a USB port on the computer; not through
a hub. The connection may not operate correctly through a hub.
• The connection may not operate correctly if you are using other USB
devices, excluding USB mice or keyboards, at the same time. If this occurs,
disconnect the other devices from the computer and try reconnecting the
camcorder.
• Do not connect two or more camcorders to the same computer via the USB
interface. The connections may not operate correctly.
• Never allow the computer to go into standby (sleep) mode while a
camcorder is connected via the USB interface. If it does happen,
never disconnect the USB cable. Try to awaken the computer with
the camcorder in the connected state. Some computers will not
awaken properly if you disconnect the camcorder while they are in
standby mode. Please refer to your computer manual for instructions
regarding its standby mode.
