Connecting a digital video camera
Your notebook has an IEEE 1394 (also known as Firewire or i.Link) port that 
can be used to connect to a digital video camera. To find the location of the 
IEEE 1394 port, see “Left side” on page 3. Pinnacle Expression is a video capture 
program that lets you capture and edit full-motion video, single images, and 
audio through the IEEE 1394 port. 
To connect a digital video camera:
1Connect one end of the IEEE 1394 cable to your external source, such as 
a video camera, and connect the other end of the cable to the IEEE 1394 
port on the side of your notebook.

The program starts.
