computer by simply pressing the

Correct performance cannot be guaranteed for discs recorded on another
digital device and inserted in this camcorder.
Do not disconnect the USB cable, remove the disc or memory card, change the
position of the
/
switch or turn off the camcorder or the computer while
data is being transferred to the computer (while the camcorder’s card or disc
access indicator is flashing). Doing so may result in data loss.
Do not connect the camcorder to a computer with the USB cable during the
following operations:
Operation may not work correctly depending on the software and the
specifications/settings of your computer.
The image files on your disc or memory card and the image files saved on the
hard disc drive of your computer are valuable, original data files. If you wish to
use image files on your computer, make copies of them first, and use the copied
file, retaining the original.
We recommend powering the camcorder from a household power outlet while it
is connected to the computer.
