Introduction
Connecting the video camera to a PC
Copy image data on an SD card or a DVD disc to the hard
disk on your PC or record image data on a hard disk onto an
SD card by connecting the high-definition video camera to
the PC.
Attention
z For details, refer to the operating instructions for the video
camera too.
z Use an AC adaptor (and a battery) to power the notebook
PC and video camera. If the battery capacity drops too low
during data transfer, recording or copying operations may
not function properly.
1.
Prepare the video camera.
• Turn on the power to the video camera.
• Set the video camera to the mode for connecting to a
PC. (For details, refer to the operating instructions for
the video camera.)
2.
Connect the video camera to the PC using the USB
connection cable after turning on the power and
booting up the PC.
• Insert the cable into the USB port firmly.
3.
Confirm that the video camera is recognized by the
PC.
When [Removable Disk] appears in [Computer] ([My
Computer]), the video camera is recognized properly by
the PC.
• For some types of camera, a DVD drive will also be added.
• Either an SD drive or a DVD drive specified at
connection will appear when connecting the HDC-SX5.
Tip
z For some types of video cameras connected to a PC, two
drives, the SD card, and the DVD disc are displayed as the
source for copying images.
z If a video camera that cannot record images from a PC is
connected, the images cannot be recorded onto media.
(The video camera will not be displayed as the destination
for recording.)
z Check that a card is not being accessed by the video
camera, disconnect the USB connection cable and then
turn off the power on the video camera.
z Double-click the [ ] ([ ]) icon on the task tray, and
select [USB Mass Storage Device] and then click the
[Stop] button to remove the cable safely without displaying
an error message.
