Download the camera's still images or movies by selecting the thumbnails (tiny images) shown on the computer display. * For Windows systems, the ZoomBrowser EX auto start function is only supported for Windows 98/Windows 2000/Windows XP. It is not supported for Windows Me. TWAIN Driver (Windows) This driver for Windows 98 and Windows 2000 loads camera images into TWAINcompliant programs, such as ArcSoft PhotoImpression, ArcSoft VideoImpression and Adobe Photoshop LE. WIA Driver (Windows) This driver for Windows Me and Windows XP starts the Scanners and Cameras Wizard to automatically download camera images to the computer. It also allows you to copy camera images using standard file copying procedures in Windows Explorer (but it cannot upload computer files to the camera). 7 Plug-In Module (Macintosh) This plug-in module loads camera images into plug-in compliant programs on the computer. USB Mounter (Macintosh) This utility allows you to treat the camera like a computer drive or read-only CF card reader, displaying the CF card contents on the computer and permitting files to be downloaded as if they were being copied from a card reader. · Categorizing and Organizing Large Volumes of Images ZoomBrowser EX (Windows)/ImageBrowser (Macintosh) These programs display downloaded images in lists and allow you to sort and organize them by content. They allow you to search and organize images as if they were spread out on your desktop. · Searching and Organizing Images Chronologically ZoomBrowser EX (Windows)/ImageBrowser (Macintosh) These programs can display images in order according to the creation date. As the images display in a simulated time tunnel, you can zoom the tunnel forward and backward in time as if you were moving through time. · Converting RAW Format Image Files RAW Image Converter This program can convert images shot in the camera's RAW file format into standard image formats, such as 8- or 16-bit TIFF files or Windows BMP files (Windows only). * ZoomBrowser EX (Windows), ImageBrowser (Macintosh), TWAIN Driver (Windows 98/ Windows 2000 only) and Plug-In Module (Macintosh) can also convert RAW images. 8 · Creating Mail Attachments from Images ZoomBrowser EX (Windows)/ImageBrowser (Macintosh) These programs can start your email program* and send images as file attachments to it. Since the file size and compression rate can be controlled, you can reduce large image files to sizes small enough for easy transmission. * The automatic start of email programs is only supported by Windows and the email programs must be enabled as MAPI clients. · Programs for Saving New Start-Up Images and Start-Up Sounds to the Camera ZoomBrowser EX (Windows)/ImageBrowser (Macintosh) These programs can add various camera settings such as start-up images, start-up sounds and shutter sounds - collectively called the My Camera Settings - that have been saved onto the computer. 9 · Laying Out and Printing Images PhotoRecord (Windows)/ImageBrowser (Macintosh) These programs permit you to add backgrounds and borders (Windows only), as well as titles and comments, and print out the images. You can enjoy preparing prints of your images appearing as if they were pasted into a photo album. Naturally, you can also use them to make artistic single-image layouts. · Programs for Printing Indexes PhotoRecord (Windows) / ImageBrowser (Macintosh) These programs can output an index of the computer or camera's image thumbnails (tiny versions) to a printer. · Programs for Printing with Card Photo Printer CP-10 PhotoRecord (Windows) / ImageBrowser (Macintosh) These programs can output your original photo cards with added text or design, or labels (8-label sheets) to Card Photo Printer CP-10 (sold separately) when connected to the computer by interface cable PIF-100 (sold separately). 10 · Merging Panoramic Images PhotoStitch This program takes images shot over several frames in the camera's Stitch Assist mode, automatically arranges them in order and stitches them together in one simple procedure.

The recorded images are loaded directly into the computer. Depending on your camera model, the screen may slightly differ. 11 ArcSoft Camera Suite CD-ROM* ArcSoft PhotoImpression · Editing and Applying Special Effects to Images This program makes it easy to convert camera images to sepia colors, apply other special effects to images, edit them and create greeting cards and calendars. · Programs for Editing Stills and Movies ArcSoft VideoImpression This program provides simple procedures for compiling a movie from multiple movies or stills and for editing out unwanted frames from movies. Adobe Photoshop LE CD-ROM* Adobe Photoshop LE · Editing and Applying Special Effects to Images This program allows you to edit and apply various special effects to images, such as changing color to sepia tones, as well as to print images. You can also prepare images as Web graphics. * The model of camera you purchased will determine whether or not an image editing program was supplied with your product as well as the specific program included in the software bundle.
