Viewing Images Using Your Computer
Connecting your camcorder to your
computer using the USB cable
– For Windows users
Complete installation of the USB driver before connecting the camcorder to
the computer. If you connect the camcorder to the computer first, you will not
be able to install the USB driver correctly.
When connecting to a computer using the USB cable
You must install a USB driver onto your computer in order to connect the camcorder to
the computer’s USB jack. The USB driver can be found on the CD-ROM supplied, along
with the application software required for viewing images.
If you connect your camcorder and your computer using the USB cable, you can view
pictures live from your camcorder and pictures recorded on a tape on your computer
(USB streaming function).
Furthermore, if you download pictures from your camcorder to your computer, you can
process or edit them in image processing software and append them to e-mail. You can
view images recorded on a “Memory Stick” on your computer (except DCR-TRV16).
