Introduction
Connecting the video camera to a PC
It is possible to copy image data on an SD card to a hard disk
on a PC or record image data on a hard disk onto an SD card
by connecting the high definition video camera to the PC.
(Some cameras cannot be used as a write drive. For details,
please refer to the operating instructions of the camera. In
such case, use an SD card reader/writer or other appropriate
devices for writing into an SD card).
