IMPORTANT
• When the camcorder is connected to a computer:
- Do not open the memory card slot cover and do not remove the
memory card.

files directly from the computer as this may result in permanent data
loss. Always save your movies on the computer, and restore files to
the camcorder, using only the supplied software ImageMixer 3 SE.
• Operation may not work correctly depending on the software and the
specifications/settings of your computer.
• If you wish to use the image files on your computer, make copies of
them first. Use the copied files, retaining the originals.
