Introduction
Connecting the video camera to a PC
1
Prepare the video camera.
• Turn on the power to the video camera.
• Set the video camera to the mode for connecting to a PC.
(For details, refer to the operating instructions for the
video camera.)
2
Connect the video camera to the PC using the USB
connection cable after turning on the power and
booting up the PC.
• Insert the cable into the USB port firmly.
3
Confirm that the video camera is recognized by the
PC.
When [Removable Disk] (SD card) appears in [Computer]
([My Computer]), the video camera is recognized properly
by the PC.
• A DVD disc or a video camera HDD may also be added
and recognized depending on the video camera.
Tip
z For details, refer to the operating instructions for the video
camera too.
z When connecting a video camera that does not support the
function to record data from a PC, the video camera will not
be displayed in the destination list when copying or
recording.
z Do not remove the USB connection cable nor operate the
video camera while data on the video camera is being
transferred. Doing so may cause a malfunction of the
software or damage the data being transferred.
z The shape of the USB terminal varies with each model of
video camera. Use a USB connection cable that fits into the
video camera.
Connect a high-definition video camera to a PC to copy image data on the SD card, DVD disc, or HDD on the video camera, or to copy or
record to the SD card.
Attention
z Use an AC adaptor (and a battery) to power the notebook PC
and video camera. If the battery capacity drops too low during
data transfer, recording or copying operations may not
function properly.
z You cannot record on media in your camera by connecting a
video camera that does not support recording from a PC. Use
the SD card adaptor or the DVD drive on your PC.
