Insert the memory card from a digital camera into a camcorder with SD slot.
Though many digital cameras record short videos as well as photographs, those videos can quickly fill up the available storage capacity of a flash memory card. One solution to this is to transfer the photos and videos to a computer, but another can be to connect the camera to a camcorder, provided both devices feature compatible inputs and outputs. Many newer digital camcorders do not offer AV inputs, but if you have one that does, and a camera with the AV output to match, you can connect the two to transfer video to the camcorder.
Instructions
1. Insert the 3.5 mm connector end of the digital camera's AV cable into the camera's AV output.
2. Connect the composite RCA connectors at the other end of the camera's AV cable to the jacks on one end of the composite RCA dual coupler. If your camera's AV cable offers only one mono audio cable (white), connect that one along with the video cable (yellow). If the cable features two stereo audio cables (white and red), connect one of the two to the coupler, along with the video cable (yellow).
3. Connect the composite video cable of the camcorder's AV cable (yellow) to the end of the coupler across from that of the camera's video cable. Plug the singular end of the composite "Y" adapter to the port on the coupler across from the camera's audio cable, and connect the composite audio cables (red and white) of the camcorder's AV cable to the split connectors of the "Y" adapter.
4. Insert the 3.5 mm end of the camcorder's AV cable into the camcorder's AV input. If the input and output is the same jack, set the camcorder to "Input" mode to record video from the digital camera (instructions vary).
