NOTES
We recommend powering the camcorder using the compact power

Refer also to the computer’s instruction manual.
Users of Windows Vista, Windows XP and Mac OS X: Your camcorder is
equipped with the standard Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) allowing you
to transfer photos (JPEG only) simply by connecting the camcorder to a
computer using the supplied USB cable, without having to install the
supplied software.
If you have no intention to use the optional DW-100 DVD Burner, you
can set or [USB Connection Type] to [ Computer/
Printer] ( 140) so the selection screen does not appear every time
you connect the camcorder to a computer.
When the memory contains 2,500 photos or more, you may not be able
to transfer photos to a computer. Try using a card reader to transfer the
photos on the memory card. To transfer the photos in the built-in
memory, copy them to the memory card in advance ( 105).
If you connect the camcorder to the computer while it is set to
mode, the process of creating scene thumbnails will start automatically.
In such case, press ([Skip]) to stop the process and use the com-
puter’s Safely Remove Hardware function (Windows) or Eject function
(Mac OS) to end the connection to the camcorder. Disconnect the USB
cable, set the camcorder to mode and restore the connection.
