Saving Recordings on a Computer
136
4 Computer: The camcorder will appear as a new device (or drive), for example, [Canon
XA10]. Use the program of your choice or the standard application built into your
computer’s operating system to transfer or copy your photos to the computer.
• Windows 7/Vista: Your photos can be found under [Canon XA10] > [Removable Storage] >
[DCIM] > [xxxCANON], where “xxx” is a folder number between 101 and 998.
• Windows XP: Your photos can be found under [Canon XA10].
• Mac OS X: iPhoto will start up automatically and [Canon XA10] will appear as a new device.
IMPORTANT
• When the camcorder is connected to a computer:
- Do not open the double memory card slot cover and do not remove the memory cards.
- Do not change or delete any of the camcorder’s folders or files directly from the computer as this
may result in permanent data loss. Always use only the supplied PIXELA’s software to save your
movies on the computer and, if necessary, to transfer back previously saved video files to the
camcorder.
• Observe the following precautions while the ACCESS indicator is on or flashing. Failing to do so
may result in permanent data loss.
- Do not open the double memory card slot cover.
- Do not disconnect the USB cable.
- Do not turn off the camcorder or the computer.
- Do not change the camcorder’s operating mode.
• When restoring to the camcorder video files that were previously saved to the computer, do not
disconnect the USB cable or turn off the camcorder or computer. Doing so may result in scenes
that cannot be played back on the camcorder.
• Operation may not work correctly depending on the software and the specifications/settings of your
computer.
• If you wish to use the image files on your computer, make copies of them first. Use the copied files,
retaining the originals.
NOTES
• Refer also to the computer’s instruction manual.
• If you connect the camcorder to the computer while it is set to
mode, the process of creating
scene thumbnails will start automatically. If your intention was to save photos to the computer, you
can touch [Skip] to stop the process and use the computer’s Safely Remove Hardware function
(Windows) or Eject function (Mac OS) to end the connection to the camcorder. Disconnect the USB
cable, set the camcorder to
mode and restore the connection.
