Using a digital video camera recorder
Your computer comes with preinstalled driver software that is compatible with
most Sony digital video camera recorders. If you purchased a camera that comes
with its own driver software, install these drivers before you use the camera.

different ways. Select one set of instructions from the following list:

program, the Digital Video Device window appears when you connect the
camera to the computer. Select the program you want to use in this window,
and click OK.
❑ Click Start, and click All Programs. Select a program in which to view
your images.
❑ Click Start, and click Experience VAIO. Click Movies, and select a
program in which to view your images.
