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.

may result in permanent data loss.

- 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.
