Note on dubbing of shooting on the computer
To record on digital camcorder recordings to a PC or notebook, is always an additional hardware component required. This interface board ultimately determines the necessary drivers to connect the digital camcorder. Since there is no standardized interface s.dieser body, is the driver for card manufacturer-specific and available only through the respective card manufacturers. For this reason, Panasonic puts the driver software for camcorders, neither, nor a reference is available on the same Panasonic.

A Drivers for what? Which interface?

I guess because once someone is trying to hide his recordings via USB. Why is (not described clearly enough) in the manual how to do that normally do? ;-)
