Most cameras now have a Firewire port, sometimes called DV OUT. Buy you a firewire cable and plug it into your computer. If your computer does not have a firewire port a card can be purchased. Sometimes they are labeled as a 1394 card. You will need some sort of capture program such as Pinnacle Studio to capture your video to your computer.

The most likely cause for this is a zoom or focus lens out of place or impaired in some way.

I'm sorry for the difficulties you're experiencing in transferring videos from the Camcorder to the Computer without using the supplied CD ROM. Please note that the driver and software from the supplied CD ROM is not required to transfer videos from the Camcorder to the Computer.

Once you connect the Camcorder to the computer, the Camcorder will recognize as a removable drive under My Computer. You can copy the required videos from the Removable drive.

Please follow the below guidelines for connecting the Camcorder to the Computer.

Once you connect the Camcorder to the Computer, you will get a display to select the media. Select Either HDD or SD card from the option shown in the LCD screen.

The most likely cause for this is a damaged or defective flexible ribbon cable that connects the LCD to the camera body and can be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired by a qualified service technician.

Hi, What type of SD card are you using? As well how old is the computer?

If you contact Panasonic, they will probably tell you it is your computer as they did me!
The soft ware is terrible!

Hi, The problem is Windows Media Player can only play a select number of types of video. If you download something like VLC Player, http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ which is free from their website, you'll be able to play the video you reordered on the camcorder no problem. If you need anymore help let me know =)
