Installing the Digital Video Software



Be sure to install the Digital Video Software before connecting the 
camcorder to the computer.



You must have authorization as a Computer System Administrator to install 
programs.

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 (applications such 
as the [Scanner and Camera Wizard] start automatically).
However, note that there are several limitations to downloading still images 
with this method. To avoid these, 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.
