Connecting to a Computer
88
We recommend powering the camcorder
using the compact power adapter while it is
connected to the computer.
Refer also to the computer’s instruction
manual.
For further details about restrictions when
using MyDVD for Canon, refer also to the
“README” section in the software’s help
modules.
Photomovie scenes created on a disc
initialized in VIDEO mode cannot be transferred
to the computer using MyDVD for Canon.
If you create Photomovie scenes on a DVD-
RW initialized in VR mode, you will not be able
to transfer any recordings to the computer using
MyDVD for Canon.
Depending on the number and length of the
scenes recorded, the One-Touch Dubbing may
take some time.
In the following cases, the
button will
not light up in step 2 and you cannot use the
One-Touch Dubbing function:
- The online user registration was not
completed correctly.
- MyDVD for Canon is still running.
- A finalized disc is not inserted in the
camcorder.
- A brand new disc is not inserted in the
computer’s DVD drive.
- The disc in the camcorder is a DVD-RW
recorded in VR mode but the disc in the
computer’s DVD drive is a DVD-R disc.
- The disc in the computer’s DVD-drive is a
DVD-R DL disc.
If none of the previous applies but the
button still does not light up, look for the
icon
in the computer’s desktop toolbar. If
does
not appear, disconnect the USB cable from
both, the camcorder and the computer. Restart
the computer and turn the camcorder off and
then on again. Then, connect the camcorder to
the computer again.
