Software that supports playback of AVCHD files must be installed. For Windows XP SP2 and Vista users this software is provided by Canon on the Corel Applications or PIXELA Image Mixer 3 SE^** disc included with your camcorder. For users of other operating systems we suggest checking with your software vendor or computer manufacturer for details on applications that support playback of high definition video which uses the AVCHD codec.

^**Software bundle varies depending on camcorder model.

^*Please note that many computer systems lack the processing power to properly playback high definition video.

For DVD camcorder users: Discs must be finalized before they are able to be played back on other devices or connecting the camcorder to the computer.
