    1. Connect your Handycam to your computer using the camera’s cable. You might need to adjust the settings on the camera. If your computer doesn’t have a FireWire port, you can connect to the Thunderbolt port instead. You’ll need an Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter or an Apple Thunderbolt display to do this
    2. Turn on the Handycam and set it to VCR or VTR
