how do you transfer video from camera to computer. Do you need a docking station?

You don't need a docking station. Follow page 36 of the instruction manual "Preparing a computer". You need to install the PMB software. Once the PMB program is downloaded, just plug-in your camcorder to your computer using the USB cable and follow directions.

Certain cameras can hook up to a computer via USB cable. For others... like SONY... u may have to get the program. U might be able to search for it online. Sony has a website to where u can either purchase it or download it to ur computer. Or. last but not least, look in the manual for the camera. Hope this info works for u. If not, research further. Good luck.

Yes, but You need a computer to store the videos captured by the camera into your computer's hard drive.

I believe their is a cable that comes with the camera that you can connect to the computer. I'm sorry if I couldn't be more helpful but the camera I bought was for my daughter.

No, not for me at least. I was able to transfer with USB; the camera has a USB port built into the camera's strap. It comes with the cable you need, and I found this is a much better way to transfer video (again, at least for me). For sure, you will need HDMI if you NEED to view it on a hi def TV before you go to work on it... it really depends on your needs. If you just need to transfer it to your computer you don't need the HDMI cable.

Freda, as I have found, if you have a laptop that has a port which will accept your digital camera's memory card, then you don't need the dock, good luck, John

What comes with the camera is a USB charging cord. So, you must either plug the cord connected to the camera into a USB port on your computer or charging station or into an adapter (not provided with the camera) that will convert it to an AC adapter.

It will allow you to do that, but I was very disappointed with it and send it back. Kept disconneting itself. I just bought a cable on a usb to go from camera to computer and it takes no time at all! You will not be happy with this device.

Hi Doug T., if the docking station you are pertaining is a tripod, you can check any tripod available in the market since this Sony camcorder do have a standard tripod receptacle. -Ely

The USB cable can be used to connect and download from the camera to a computer, hard drive or recorder. That's not the easiest way for most folks though. It's easier to pull out the memory chip and stick it in your computer to transfer it.

You need a USB, a memory card, or a USB cable connecting it to your computer.

When you plug the camera into your computer, it shows up as a external drive. You can then download the photos & videos to your hard drive.

The camera comes with a cord that plugs into the computer and when you do that a screen appears asking if you want to import the images and that is it. The camera comes with a cd to download a photo software program but that is not necessary. Hope that helps.

A camera will almost always connect to a computer with a USB cable. Thats your best and cheapest bet. Otherwise you can buy a multi card reader and install that in your PC.
