attention:

• While the camcorder is connected to the computer, do not open the memory card slot cover and do not remove the memory card.
• Observe the following precautions while the ACCESS indicator is on or flashing. Failing to do so may result in permanent data loss.
  - Do not subject the camcorder to vibrations or strong impacts.
  - Do not open the memory card slot cover.
  - Do not disconnect the USB cable.
  - Do not change the position of the mode dial.
  - 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.

• Deleting all photos
• Removing all transfer orders
• Removing 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 Connection Type ] to [ Computer/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).
