For more detailed operational instructions, refer to the Help menu of each software program. 10 What is Digital Video Software Installing the Digital Video Software Before you connect the camcorder to the computer with the USB cable for the first time, you must install the Digital Video Software. Mac OS X (version 10.1.5/10.2/10.3) Users: Your digital video camcorder is equipped with the standard Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP). This protocol enables you to download images by simply connecting the camera to a computer with the USB cable (using software such as iPhoto or Image Capture preinstalled on Mac OS X). However, please note that there are several limitations to downloading images with this method. To avoid these problems, install ImageBrowser to download images. It may take a few minutes, after connecting the camcorder, until you can download images. Only AVI* movie files can be downloaded. Thumbnails cannot be downloaded. * Two files are created in the camcorder (for example: [MVI_0001.AVI] and [MVI_0001.THM]). [MVI_0001.THM] files cannot be downloaded but movies can still be played back on the computer. Mac OS X version 10.2 - The Exif* version may change to 2.1 and image information may be modified when downloading images with Image Capture. To download images without any information changes, use the following procedures: 1) Connect the camcorder to the computer and prepare it to transfer data. 2) Start Image Capture. 3) In the screen that appears, click [Options]. 4) Remove the checkmark from [Embed Colorsync profile] in the [Download Options] tab and click [OK]. * Images shot with camcorders complying with Exif Print incorporate shooting settings information, such as the shooting conditions and program AE mode, along with the image data. E 3 Double click the CD-ROM icon, followed by the [Mac OS X] and [Canon Digital Video Installer] icons. The installer panel opens.

Set the DIGITAL VIDEO SOLUTION DISK in the computer's CD-ROM drive. 4 Click Digital Video Software [Install]. Installer Panel 5 Select [Easy Installation] and click [Next]. To install the software individually, select [Custom Installation]. 6 7 Read the license agreement and click [Agree]. Review the installation settings and click [Next]. Installation starts. 12 Installing the Digital Video Software 8 When the "Installation has finished." message appears, click [OK]. E 9 After the installation is complete, restart the computer as prompted. Installing the Digital Video Software 13 Macintosh Connecting the Camcorder to a Computer Make sure the camcorder is being powered using the power adapter before connecting it to a computer. Be sure to install the Digital Video Software before you connect the camcorder to the computer. Connect the USB cable directly to one of the computer's main USB ports. The interface may not function correctly if the camcorder is connected via a USB hub. The connection may not operate correctly if you are using other USB devices, excluding USB mice or keyboards, at the same time. If this occurs, disconnect the other devices from the computer and try reconnecting the camcorder. Do not connect two or more camcorders to the same computer via the USB interface. The connections may not operate correctly. Never allow the computer to go into standby (sleep) mode while a camcorder is connected via the USB interface. Refer to your computer manual for the location of the computer's USB ports. See your camcorder instruction manual for connecting instructions. 1 2 3 4 Insert a memory card containing images into the camcorder. Connect the power adapter to the camcorder. Turn the POWER switch to PLAY (VCR) and move the TAPE/ CARD switch to CARD. Wait until the card access indicator stops flashing. Attach the supplied USB cable to the computer's USB port and the camcorder's USB Terminal. USB Terminal on the Camcorder USB Cable Camcorder End Computer End USB Port on the Computer 14 Connecting the Camcorder to a Computer Downloading Images (ImageBrowser) Below explains the procedure for connecting a camcorder to a computer using the USB cable. For connecting a PC card reader/writer, see Using a PC Card Reader/Writer ( 23). If a memory card contains an enormous volume of images (approx. 1000 or more), you may not be able to download images with ImageBrowser or an OS standard software depending on the computer you are using or the installed OS. In this case, use a PC card reader to download images. Observe following precautions when the camcorder's card access indicator is flashing (the camcorder is reading or writing from or to the memory card). Failure to do so may cause memory card data to become corrupted. - Do not open the memory card cover, remove the memory card or detach the USB cable. - Do not turn off the camcorder or the computer. - Do not change the position of the POWER switch or the TAPE/CARD switch. Images recorded onto the memory card or downloaded to the hard disk are important original data files. Create a copy of the file first before working on it on your computer.
