This instruction manual explains how to install the software, what you can do with the main features and how to operate them. For more detailed operational instructions, refer to the Help menu of each software program.

Installing the Digital Video Software

❍ Be sure to install the Digital Video Software before connecting the

camcorder to the computer.

❍ Users of Windows 2000 or Windows XP must first log in as an

Administrator to install programs.

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.

Check a camcorder is not connected to the computer.

While a camcorder is connected to the computer, the software cannot be installed normally. If a camcorder is connected, detach the USB cable from the computer.

Close any programs that are running.

Set the DIGITAL VIDEO SOLUTION DISK For Windows in the

computer’s CD-ROM drive.

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.

Connecting the Camcorder to a Computer

❍ Make sure the camcorder is being powered using the power adapter

before connecting it to a computer.

❍ Be sure to install the Digital Video Software before you connect the

camcorder to the computer.

❍ Connect the USB cable directly to one of the computer’s main USB

ports. The interface may not function correctly if the camcorder is connected via a USB hub.

❍ The connection may not operate correctly if you are using other USB

devices, excluding USB mice or keyboards, at the same time. If this occurs, disconnect the other devices from the computer and try reconnecting the camcorder.

❍ Do not connect two or more camcorders to the computer. The

camcorders may not operate normally.

❍

Never allow the computer to go into standby (sleep) mode while a camcorder is connected via the USB interface. If it does happen, never disconnect the USB cable. Try to awaken the computer with the camcorder in the connected state. Some computers will not awaken properly if you disconnect the camcorder while they are in standby mode. Please refer to your computer manual for instructions regarding its standby mode.

❍ Refer to your computer manual for the location of the computer’s USB

ports.

❍ See your camcorder instruction manual for connecting instructions.

• Do not turn off the camcorder or the computer.

• Do not change the position of the POWER switch or the TAPE/ CARD switch.

❍ Images recorded onto the memory card or downloaded to the hard

disk are important original data files. Create a copy of the file first before working on it on your computer.
