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.

First,you need to connect the camera and the computer using the same cable that you use for external charger. Only this time, you plug in the USB port on the computer. If you have already installed the picture "manager" of some kind, either from Nikon or other programs, everything should go automatically. You'll be asked about picture transferred, destination folder, re-naming etc.

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

I know this sounds crazy, but what do you have to turn the camera to to download to the computer?

This kit (and usually with the single camera as well) comes with a USB cable; one end connects to a port on the camera and the other end connects to the USB port on the computer. After you connect the cable you turn on the camera, it sync with the computer and you follow the prompts when the action window pops up. Hope that helps

If your laptop has a slot for SD card, just pop the card out of the camera and insert into computer. If no SD slot, the camera comes with a USB cable.

Its supper simple to watch the video clips on your computer. Just plug the camera into your computer using the included cable. On the camera a USB connection will pop up. Select it and watch either the front or back camera vids. Check out this for info on camera http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X16kiyDtTms

I don't think you can download to your computer with a cable directly. The camera comes with dock. There's a USB cable (the old kind, not the mini) that goes into the dock and the camera needs to transfer via the dock.

The camera should have come with a cable that plugs into the camera at one end and the computer at the other. You just plug it in and then turn on the camera and it will upload a program to your computer and then a little window will appear that asks what task you want to perform. You choose download pictures and it will put them in your computer. Only takes a few seconds!

It does not need to be compatible. It takes a microsd card which can be removed. There is no need to hook the camera up to a computer.

There's a USB built into side of camera just plug into your computer. Honestly though I find it easier just to pop my sd card out and upload that way bc usb is very difficult to get into the port on your computer

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.

Connect the Sony camera to the computer with the connector the camera came with. It like putting the disk into the computer.

I still own this camera but seldom use it. The camera I have came with a dock that hooked to my computer. I have never hooked a USB cord directly to the camera. I am sure it is possible. I usually just turn off a camera these days and remove the SD card and put it into my computer. Just easier and I don't need all the cords and such. This is a great camera and the coating on the lens is one of the best I have ever had.

yes you can transfer the pictures to your computer because its on a memory card. If the memory card fits in the camera it should work.

Yes, just put your card into an SDHC card reader and into your USB outlet on your computer and no need to transfer from a cable or directly from the camera

There is a docking station option listed at the bottom of the amazon listing for this computer. I do not own it but it seems to connect through USB 3 port. Hope this is helpful. Check it out here http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AKUAWD0
