With the proper connection, you can record a live feed from your video camera directly onto your computer, creating a video file (or files) in the format of your choice.
With the camera attached to your computer, turn the camera on, and, if necessary, set it to the Record Video mode, but don’t start recording yet. In the Import Video Wizard that appears, type a name for the video, specify the location where you want to store the video file, and select the video format you want. Click Next.
Click Finish, and view your video in the Photo Gallery window that appears.
