The JVC GZ HD7 is a high-end, high-definition video camcorder. The device features a large, optical zoom and the improved color quality of 3CCD. The JVC camcorder records directly onto a built-in hard drive, so it is important to properly connect the camera to a computer in order to upload the videos to the system. However, if there is an issue with the connection, you need to troubleshoot the situation before you can upload.
Instructions
1. Look over your computer for a FireWire cable connection. This looks similar to a USB data port, only one end is slightly curved with a "Y" icon next to it. FireWire is the best option for connecting the camera to the computer as it supports a higher data transfer rate.
2. Check the connection running from the JVC GZ HD7 to the computer. If either cable is not connected completely, the video is not going to reach the system correctly.
3. Power on the video camera and set it to "Playback." If the camera is set to "Off" or "Record," the computer may be unable to import the contents from the video camera.
4. Expect long export times when using a USB data cable. Due to the large size of the HD files, it may take several hours to completely export the contents of the JVC GZ HD7 to the computer.
