Before connecting your camcorder to your computer, install the USB driver to the

viewing images on a CD-ROM supplied with your camcorder.
Do not connect the USB cable to your computer before installation of the USB driver is
completed.

application software screen appears.

USB MODE appears on the screen of your camcorder. Your computer
recognizes the camcorder, and the Windows Add Hardware Wizard starts.
