longs to someone else. They may want to remove files from the card before you format it.
Using the camera in mass storage mode
If you want to view images and videos you’ve recorded without using the Digital Movie
Creator 3.0 software, you can use the camera in mass storage mode. Mass storage means
that computers recognize the camera as if it were an external hard drive.
To use the camera in mass storage mode:
1. Attach the camera to the computer using the base and USB cable while pressing and
holding the OK button.
2. Go to the Desktop of the computer and double-click on the My Computer icon.
3. You’ll see a list of the computer’s hard drive (usually C:\) and any other mass storage
devices currently attached to the computer.
4. Double-click on the “Digital Blue DMC3 Video Device.”
5. The image and video files stored on the camera will be shown.
TV out format
The camera will be in NTSC format when you buy it. NTSC format is frequently used in the
US and North America. In the UK, Europe, and other locations, you may want to change
the format to PAL. Ask a parent or another adult to help you if you aren’t sure which
format to use.
