Installing the Software

Before you attach the camcorder to the computer with the USB cable
for the first time, you must install the driver from the DIGITAL VIDEO
SOLUTION DISK.
Mac OS X Users:
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. To avoid these problems, install
ImageBrowser to download images.
❍ 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.
