Notes on installation

  • If the “PlayMemories Home” software is already installed on your computer, connect the camcorder to your computer. Functions that can be used with this camcorder will then be available.

  • If the “PMB (Picture Motion Browser)” software is installed on your computer, it will be overwritten by the “PlayMemories Home” software. In this case, you cannot use some functions that were available with “PMB” with this “PlayMemories Home” software.

Notes
  • When you access the camcorder from the computer, use the “PlayMemories Home” software. Operation is not guaranteed if you operate the data using software other than the “PlayMemories Home” software or you directly manipulate files and the folders from a computer.

  • Images cannot be saved to some discs depending on the configuration selected in [REC Mode]. Movies recorded in [60p Quality ] (HDR-GW66V/ GWP88/ GWP88V) /[50p Quality ] (HDR-GW66E/ GW66VE/ GWP88E/ GWP88VE) or [Highest Quality ] mode can only be saved to a Blu-ray disc.

  • You cannot create a disc with movies recorded in [MP4] mode.

  • The camcorder automatically divides an image file that exceeds 2 GB and saves the parts as separate files. Files will play back properly on the camcorder, however image files may be shown as separate files on a computer when inputting to or paying back with the “PlayMemories Home” software.
