Installing the Digital Video Software
Installing the Digital Video Software
Be sure to install the Digital Video Software before connecting the
camcorder to the computer.
Users of Windows 2000 or Windows XP must first log in as an Administrator
to install programs.
Windows XP Users:
Your digital video camcorder is equipped with the standard Picture Transfer
Protocol (PTP). This protocol enables you to download still images by simply
connecting the camcorder to a computer with the USB cable (the software such
as the [Scanner and Camera Wizard] starts automatically).
However, please note that there are several limitations to downloading still
images with this method. To avoid these problems, install ZoomBrowser EX to
download still images.
It may take a few minutes, after connecting the camcorder, until you can
download still images.
Still images protected on the camcorder may lose this setting once they are
downloaded to the computer.
