USING THE CAMERA WITH A COMPUTER
Transfer of Images from the Camera and
Management of Images on Your
Macintosh
If you are running Mac OS X, you can manage snapshots using
iPhoto, which comes bundled with your operating system.
If you are running Mac OS 9, use commercially available
software.
Playing Movies
You can use QuickTime, which comes bundled with your
operating system, to play back movies. To play back a movie,
first copy the movie 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 “Normal” 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.
