Connect your digital video camera to a computer to
transfer les from the camera onto your hard drive.
Power on your video camera. In the Setup Menu,
set the USB Mode to “MDSC”. (Please see the Menu
Options section for additional information.)
Connect one end of the supplied USB cable to the
USB port on your digital video camera. Connect the
other end to your computer.
Your computer should automatically recognize the
video camera as a removable disk. Follow the prompt
on your screen to view les on the camera. If no
prompt appears, you may access the camera via “My
Computer” or Windows Explorer.
Copy and paste les from the camera to your com-

If you wish to transfer les from an SD card, you may

If you are using an SD card and wish to access les
on your camera’s internal memory, you must re-
move the SD card before connecting the camera
