connecting it to a computer.
¡ Do not connect any devices to the camcorder‘s USB terminal when connecting the
camcorder to the computer using the DV terminal.
¡ If the AV/C Camera Storage Subunit-WIA Driver is installed on the computer and
you connect your camcorder to the computer using a DV cable and set it to CARD
PLAY (VCR) mode, [Canon Camera Storage Device] (camera icon) or [Canon DV
Camcorder] (camcorder icon) appears in the explorer view. If the driver is not

Downloading Still Images/Movies to a Computer
Cautions:
¡ Observe following precautions when the camcorder’s card access indicator is
flashing (the camcorder is reading or writing from or to the memory card). Failure to
do so may cause memory card data to become corrupted.
– Do not remove the memory card or detach the DV cable.
– Do not turn off the camcorder or the computer.
– Do not change the position of the POWER switch or the TAPE/CARD switch.
¡ Format the memory card with the camcorder.
¡ If numerous still images/movies are contained in the memory card, it may take a
while until the [Scanner and Camera Wizard] opens.
¡If still images not recorded with Canon digital camcorders are contained in the
memory card, their thumbnails (small images) may not be displayed correctly in the
[Scanner and Camera Wizard].
¡ If you select [Canon Camera Storage Device] in the explorer view, folder contents
may not be displayed correctly. In this case, right-click the mouse button on the
folder and select [Refresh].
¡ Still images cannot be uploaded to the memory card using the [Scanner and Camera
Wizard].
¡ Do not rotate the still images recorded on a memory card in [Windows Picture and
Fax Viewer] or [Scanner and Camera Wizard] or in Windows Explorer. The file
format of the original image will be changed, and the recording information of the
still image may be lost. The still image can no longer be displayed in the camcorder.
¡ Still images/movies written to 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.
¡ If the following message appears, check if the memory card is correctly inserted into
the camcorder. If so, disconnect the camcorder from the computer and reconnect it.

Disabling the Firewall
■ About the Firewall
The firewall is an important security system that protects your computer by
limiting or preventing access by other computers on the Internet. If you disable
the function, other computers may be able to access the files on your computer,
or write files onto your hard disk. Disable the firewall before using the DV
Messenger, and enable the firewall after use.
Caution:
¡ If an anti-virus software is installed on your computer, the firewall of the software
may be active. In such case, you need to deactivate its firewall function. For further
details, refer to the instruction manual of the respective software.

In [CARD] Mode (File Transfer)
If the camcorder connected to your contact‘s computer is equipped with a file
transfer function, and the camcorder is set to CARD PLAY (VCR) mode, you can
transfer files recorded on the memory card in that camcorder to your computer.
Cautions:
¡ Obtain the permission of your contact first before transferring files.
¡ File transfer can only be used with Canon camcorders equipped with the file transfer
function (
DV NETWORK SOLUTION DISK (
¡ If your camcorder is equipped with the file transfer function and the AV/C Camera
Storage Subunit-WIA Driver is installed, you can check the contents of the memory
card with Windows Explorer.
¡ When your camcorder is set to CARD PLAY (VCR) mode, you cannot operate it from
the DVM panel.
¡ File transfer may not work depending on the Internet connection, file type or file size.
¡ When files are being transferred from your camcorder to the computer of your
contact, the DVM panel shows that file transfer is in progress with moving graphics.
Make sure that the graphics are not moving when changing the camcorder from
CARD PLAY (VCR) mode to another mode.
¡ If your contact has started an application using the file transfer function (e.g.
Scanner and Camera Wizard), you cannot transfer files with the DV Messenger.
Retry after your contact has closed the application. When an application using the
file transfer function is started, DV Messenger may not recognize the memory card
correctly.
