I have a Sony handycam that I want to hook up to my 'puter to take photographs. Basically, I want to use the camera as an eye and use software to take the picture. I'm using USB to connect camera to PC but what program(s) do I need to use to get this working? An example would help a lot. Right now, I'm just looking for Shareware/Freeware.


In case this matters about my question above, this is what I'm doing...
I'm trying to make animations using a gif animator but would like to import real drawings/frames. I only have the handycam at the moment so I'd like to use that for now if at all possible.

Thanks for any replies.

Perhaps search such program at Sony's website may help.

Ah... So this is what I need then? I didn't even think of Sony.com. Duh. THanks.

If you want to take a snapshot of a frame,Windows Movie Maker will do it. You could also use Nero or Photoshop if you have it. I'm sure there are others as well.
