Using the Canon Digital Camcorders:

In this short little video tutorial, I'd like to give you a brief overview of how to capture video using the camcorder, connect the camcorder to an iMac, and import footage from the camera onto the computer's hard drive for editing in iMovie. I hope you find this short little video helpful in learning a bit more about how to use the Canon digital camcorders.
