NOTE:

• Do not open the memory card slot cover.
• Do not disconnect the USB cable.
• Do not turn off the camcorder or the computer. 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.
• During the following operations, even if you connect the camcorder to the computer it will not be recognized.
  - Erasing all still images
  - Erasing all transfer orders
  - Erasing all print orders
  

note:

• Refer also to the computer's instruction manual.

• Users of Windows Vista, Windows XP and Mac OS X: Your camcorder is equipped with the standard Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) allowing you to transfer still images (JPEG only) simply by connecting the camcorder to a computer using the USB cable without having to install the supplied software.

• If you have no intention to use the optional DW-100 DVD Burner, you can set [ USB SETTING ] to [ PC/PRINTER ] so the selection screen does not appear every time you connect the camcorder to a computer.

• Depending on the number of images in the memory (Windows: 1,800 images or more; Macintosh: 1,000 images or more), you may not be able to transfer images to a computer. Try using a card reader (for images in the memory, copy them to the memory card first).
