IMPORTANT

 

The video transfer may not work correctly

specifications/settings of your computer.
 

If the computer freezes while the camcorder 

is connected to it, disconnect the DV cable and 
turn off the camcorder and the computer. After a 
short while, turn them on again, set the 
camcorder to 

 mode and restore the 

connection.
 

Before connecting the camcorder to the 

computer using a DV cable, make sure that the 

camcorder and computer are not connected 
with a USB cable, and that no other IEEE1394 
device is connected to the computer.
 

Depending on the video editing software, you 

may need to set the 

 switch on the 

camcorder to a mode other than PLAY. Refer to 
the instruction manual of the editing software.
