A Complete Guide In Attaching A Sony Handycam To A Computer

By Daniel Turbin


A Sony Handycam is a camcorder you utilize in your hands to catch functions, people, objects, and moments. The Sony Handycam is distinctly created by Sony Entertainment Inc., which is called a "Handycam" since it is a "handy camera."

You could hook up a Sony camcorder to a computer in just four small steps, but you will need an I.LINK cable. First, join the small end (4 pin) of the I.LINK cable to the Handycam. There are several ports present, so find out that the small end attaches to the correct Handycam port. The large end (6 pin) should go into the firewire port on the computer. If you are using a laptop, link the small end to the laptop. Next, cut on the computer and set the Handycam to playback mode in order that the computer can recognize that the device is a camera in operation.

The above instructions work for largely PC computers. In the event you own a laptop like a Macbook computer, you can also link your Handycam to your computer. First, you need your Macbook computer, Sony Handycam, the 4 pin and 6 pin cable, and the power cable that comes with the Handycam. Get the battery out of the camera, and connect the power cable to the DCN port of the camera. Following that, turn the camera on and simply wait a second. Switch the camera to "play/edit." And then, take the firewire cable as well as small 4 pin and put it in the side of your camera. The 4 pin as well as 6 pin firewire cable should then be connected to the firewire port computer. Head to the top of your Mac to the "spotlight" portion at the top right, type in "system profiler," and go down to "firewire."

The Sony Handycam manual is a great place to go if you still cannot figure set to connect your Handycam to a pc. The manual's table of contents has information on the following topics:
