Before we get started you will need a Macintosh computer your Sony camera and the supplied

First make sure the computer is powered on
Connect the camera directly to the USB port on your computer
Turn on the camera by pressing the power button
The camera LCD will display USB Mode Mass Storage

On the Finder Bar select “Go” and then Computer
Select the “NO NAME” or “UNTITLED” icon
Select the private folder
Select the AVCHD folder
Select the BDMV folder and then select STREAM folder
Click on the the video you want to transfer
If you have multiple videos you would like to transfer hold down the “shift” key
and then select the videos by clicking on them
Press and hold the Command key and then press the “C” key to copy the files
Now you will need to select a folder where you want to store your videos
For example I’m going to select to save my video to the “movies folder”
While holding down the Command key press the “V” key and your movies will now be pasted
