Using the Camera with a Computer
If you are running Mac OS X, you can use the iPhoto application that comes bundled
with the operating system to manage your images. If you are running Mac OS 9, you
will need to use commercially available software.
You can use QuickTime, which comes bundled with your operating system, to play
back movies on a Macintosh. To play back a movie, first copy it to your Macintosh
and then double-click the movie file.
. Movie Playback Precautions
Proper movie playback may not be possible on some Macintosh models. If you
experience problems, try the following.
– Change the movie image quality setting to “STD” or “LP”.
– Upgrade to the latest version of QuickTime.
– Shut down other applications that are running.
Even if proper playback is not possible on your Macintosh, you can use the AV cable
that comes bundled with the camera to connect to the video input terminal a TV or
Macintosh and play back movies that way.
IMPORTANT!
• Be sure to move the movie data to the hard disk of your Macintosh before trying to
play it. Proper movie playback may not be possible for data accessed over a
network, from a memory card, etc.
