Canon DC20

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 still 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 still 
images with this method. To avoid these problems, install ZoomBrowser EX to 
download still images.

- It may take a few minutes, after connecting the camcorder, until you can 

download still images.

- Still images protected on the camcorder may lose this setting once they are 

downloaded 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.
