When installation is complete, remove the DIGITAL VIDEO SOLUTION DISK For Windows before you connect the camcorder to the computer. At this point, the files for the TWAIN Driver or WIA Driver have only been copied to your computer. To download images via USB connection, finish installing the TWAIN Driver or the WIA driver. Windows XP Users: Your digital video camcorder is equipped with the standard Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP). This protocol enables you to download images by simply connecting the camcorder to a computer with the USB cable (the software such as the [Scanner and Camera Wizard] starts automatically). However, please note that there are several limitations to downloading images with this method. To avoid these problems, install ZoomBrowser EX to download images. It may take a few minutes, after connecting the camcorder, until you can download images. Images protected on the camcorder may lose this setting once they are downloaded to the computer.

Once the software has been installed, perform the following to complete the installation of the driver:

Windows 98 SE / Windows 2000

1. Insert a memory card containing images into the camcorder.
   
   
2. Connect the Power Adapter to the camcorder (or use a fully charged battery).
   
   
3. Turn the POWER switch to PLAY (VCR) and move the TAPE/CARD switch to CARD.
   - Wait until the card access indicator stops flashing.
   
   
4. Connect the camcorder to the computer using the supplied USB cable.

• If the "Digital signature not found" message appears, click [Yes].
• After a few moments, a message such as "New Hardware Found" appears and the TWAIN driver will be installed automatically.
• If you are prompted to restart the computer, restart the computer.
• When installation is complete, a window appears allowing you to select an application program to start.

Windows Me

WIA (Windows Image Acquisition) Driver: WIA Driver is the driver software for USB connection to Windows Me that is required to download images into ZoomBrowser EX.

Read carefully before installing the WIA Driver: When you have set the WIA Driver to start a particular application program when you connect the camcorder, the program may cause an error message similar to the following to appear: "TWAIN data source not found. Reinstall the scanner software." If this happens, select [WIAcamera model] in the application program as the TWAIN device.

1. Insert a memory card containing images into the camcorder.
   
   
2. Connect the Power Adapter to the camcorder.

   - After a few moments, a message such as "Found New Hardware" appears and the WIA driver will be installed.
   - If you are prompted to restart the computer, restart the computer.
   - When installation is complete, the Scanners and Cameras Wizard starts.
