Everything You Have To Know Regarding Connecting Your Sony Handycam To A Computer

By Daniel Turbin


A Sony Handycam is a camcorder you utilize in your hands to record events, folks, items, and moments. The Sony Handycam is uniquely produced by Sony Entertainment Inc., which is generally known as a "Handycam" since it is a "handy camera."

You can connect a Sony camcorder to a computer in just four small steps, but you will need an I.LINK cable. First, attach the small end (4 pin) of the I.LINK cable to the Handycam. There are a few ports present, so check to see that the small end connects to the correct Handycam port. The big end (6 pin) must go into the firewire port on the computer. When you are using a laptop, link up the small end to the laptop. Following that, cut on the computer as well as set the Handycam to playback mode so that the computer could recognize that the unit is a camera operational.

First, you will need your Macbook computer, Sony Handycam, the 4 pin as well as 6 pin cable, and the power cable that comes with the Handycam. Take the battery out of the camera, and link up the power cable to the DCN port of the camera. Following that, turn the camera on and wait a second. Switch the camera to "play/edit." And then, take the firewire cable and small 4 pin and stick it in the side of your camera. The 4 pin as well as 6 pin firewire cable ought to then be connected to the firewire port computer. Go to the top of your Mac to the "spotlight" section at the top right, type in "system profiler," then go down to "firewire."
