Notes

- Use “PlayMemories Home” for operations such as when importing AVCHD movies to a computer. (Windows)

- Use the “iMovie” software bundled with Mac for operations such as importing AVCHD movies to a computer. (Mac)

- If operations are performed on an AVCHD movie file or folder on the camera from a PC while the camera is connected to a PC, it may destroy the image file or playback may become impossible. Do not delete or copy AVCHD movies on the camera’s memory card from a PC. Sony bears no responsibility for the result of operations of this type.

- Use “PlayMemories Home” to import the movies with GPS location information to a computer (DSC-HX20V/HX30V only).

- The camera creates a 3D image by combining a JPEG file with an MPO file. If you delete either file on a PC, you cannot playback the 3D image.
