Webcam feature
Standard webcam enabled applications such as
Microsoft Netmeeting, or Yahoo Messenger will
recognize the DV camera as a webacm when it is
connected to the USB port on your computer. You can
then use the DV camera for video chat.
To use your DV camera as a webcam:
1. Turn on your DV camera and make sure that it is set
to behave as a webcam. See USBSwitch on page
35.
2. Connect your DV camera to your computer using
the USB cable provided. See Connecting to a
computer on page 37.
The first time you connect your DV camera to a
computer as a webcam the operating system will
attempt to load driver software. You will need to insert
the CD provided and follow the on-screen instructions.
See Installing Software on page 38.
3. Start a webcam enabled application on your
computer. The application will detect that a
webcam is connected and the DV camera will
behave like a standard web-cam. See the
application user guide for more details on how to
use a webcam.
3. Open Windows Explorer and click on the My
Computer folder. You will see a list of all your hard
disks, optical disks and floppy drives. The DV
camera appears as a removable disk and is assigned
a drive letter.
4. Double click on the drive letter for the DV camera.
A folder named DCIM will be displayed. This folder
contains the contents of your DV camera memory or
the SD card.
5. Double click on the 100_MTDV folder to display
your images, movies and audio files.
Note: You can move, copy, or delete images in the DV
camera’s memory or SD card in exactly the same way as if
they were on an external hard disk drive. If an SD card is
inserted in the DV camera, only the contents of the SD card
will be displayed. If no SD card is inserted, the contents of
the DV camera internal memory will be displayed.
Tip: Before you connect your DV camera to a computer,
you may want to copy the contents of the internal DV
camera memory to the SD card. See Copy to SD on page
33.
