Saving Files to the Computer
1. Press
to turn on the camera.
2. Connect the camera to the computer’s USB port using the multi-use cable.
Note: When the connection is established for the first time, your computer
automatically runs a program to recognize the camera.
3. Start an appropriate editing application for the media you will be working with.
For example, you could use ImageBlender or Microsoft Picture Manager to work
with your still images and Adobe Premiere Elements or Windows Movie Maker to
work with video clips. Go to
File
>
Open
and navigate to the drive that says
Sony Memory Stick

DCIM folder

It is recommended that you move your files to another drive (off of the
camera) by using
File > Save As
and selecting a folder on your
computer.

It is helpful to create a new folder on your computer to store your files.
Name the folder something that reminds you of what the files are from.

A good habit is to name a folder of images or video clips with the date
included, i.e., “06-15-06-fieldtirip.”
