ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES  
Digital Photo Navigator  
Send your favorite videos and pictures by e-mail  
Everyone has video cassettes and memory cards containing videos and pictures that they never get to show to  
anyone.  
No matter how wonderful, the only people that got to see them were families and guests, because there was  
no convenient way to show them except in your own home on the TV. Friends and relatives who live far away  
had no way of viewing them. And you don’t want to throw those video cassettes and memory cards away  
because they hold treasured memories.  
Now you can solve all of these problems with a PC. By using a USB cable to connect a camcorder to a PC,  
you can copy video clips from the camcorder to the PC. You can then send the files to anyone as an e-mail  
attachment.  
Can I do this with my PC?  
Yes, as long as your PC has a USB connector.  
Aren’t most video data files too large to send easily as e-mail attachments?  
In the case of video, using the camcorder function to copy the video to a memory card will result in a smaller  
file. In the case of still images, you can use this software to reduce the file sizes.  
Create a virtual album  
If you have a lot of image files with similar names, it can be hard to remember which file contains which  
image.  
You can use this software to display these images on your PC just as if you had pasted them in a photo album.  
Because you can scan through these images just as if you were flipping through a photo album, you can  
quickly find a specific image that you want to send through e-mail, for example.  
Can I distribute copies of albums?  
You can save albums in web page format. When the album is saved in this format, anyone with a browser can  
view the album on any type of PC. Because the album is already in web page format, you can also exhibit  
your photos on the Internet.  
Under copyright law, it is illegal to distribute copyrighted images without the permission of the copyright  
holder. Make sure that you have permission to distribute such images before actually doing so.

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES (cont.)  
ImageMixer with VCD  
Edit your own movies  
Edit your own original movies by processing and re-arranging video clips and still images that you have  
loaded into your PC. Now you can be the director! Just shoot video with your camcorder and then edit it on  
your PC.  
Once you have finished your movie, you can play back it on your PC, send it through e-mail, or even show it  
on the Internet.  
Create a Video CD  
After you load and edit video clips on your PC, you are ready to create a Video CD* (pg. 37). Since up to  
64 minutes of video can be recorded to a 650MB CD, you can easily use a Video CD to send files too large  
for e-mail attachment.  
Video CDs can also be played back on most DVD players, so they are useful when you want to send video to  
someone who does not own a PC.  
* To create a Video CD, a CD-R drive is necessary. If you are using a Windows® PC, refer to the following web  
site for a drive that is compatible with Windows®:  
If you are using a Macintosh PC, the application Toast™ by Roxio, Inc. is also necessary.  
Add a camera to your PC  
You can transform your camcorder into a peripheral for your PC.  
For example, when you are shooting a video, you can record on your PC instead of on a cassette. You can  
also use Windows® NetMeeting, Windows® Messenger (Windows® XP only) (or similar software) in  
combination with this software to hold a video conference over the Internet. (In order to conduct a video  
conference over the Internet with Windows® NetMeeting or Windows® Messenger, you must register with  
MSN Messenger and Microsoft HotMail.)

CHANGING THE IMAGE SIZE OR PICTURE QUALITY (cont.)  
Changing the picture quality, etc.  
In addition to changing the size of an image, it is also possible to rotate images, change or correct the quality  
of an image, and change the file format of an image. The role of each setting is described in more detail  
below.  
[90 degrees Rotation]  
If you hold the camcorder sideways when recording an  
image, you can create an image that is taller than it is  
wide. Because this still image will be displayed sideways,  
use this function to rotate the image 90 degrees to the  
portrait orientation.  
[None]: No correction  
[Clockwise]: Rotates the image 90 degrees clockwise.  
[Counterclockwise]: Rotates the image 90 degrees  
counterclockwise.  
[Image Correction (DV)]  
This setting is not available.  
[Format]  
You can select the file format of an image.  
[JPEG]: This is the format that is typically used on the Internet. This format has a smaller file size.  
[BITMAP]: This is the standard Windows® image format (BMP). Many applications can use this format.  
[JPEG Quality]  
This setting is available when JPEG was selected in the [Format] field. Moving the slider to the left makes the  
file smaller. Moving the slider to the right results in less deterioration in the image quality. The initial setting is  
75.  
NOTES:  
When [JPEG] is selected in the [Format] field, the quality of the image deteriorates slightly each time that  
[OK] is clicked for the [Image Format] dialog box. To restore the original image quality, reload the original  
still image file.  
To confirm the file size, right-click the still image and then select [Properties].

IMAGEMIXER  
Capabilities  
The ImageMixer software possesses a variety of functions. Its primary applications are described below.  
Editing your own original movies  
ImageMixer allows you to capture video from a camcorder, rearrange scenes, add special effects when  
changing scenes, insert still images, and otherwise freely edit your own movies. ImageMixer also allows you  
to add audio and background music.  
The edited movie is stored in MPEG1 format, which provides a comparatively smaller file size. This makes it  
more convenient to distribute it to your friends, for example, expanding the range of possibilities for which  
you can use your camcorder.  
Capturing video from tape  
Connect the camcorder to the PC with a USB cable. ImageMixer can then convert the video on tape to  
MPEG1 format and store it in the PC.  
NOTE:  
This feature is not available when …  
… the camcorder and a Windows® 98 PC are connected with a USB cable  
… the camcorder and a Windows® 98/98SE or Macintosh PC are connected with a DV cable  
Capturing video in real time  
Connect the camcorder to the PC with a USB cable. ImageMixer can then record on the hard disk in the PC,  
instead of on the tape.  
NOTE:  
This feature is not available when …  
… the camcorder and a Windows® 98 PC are connected with a USB cable  
… the camcorder and a Windows® 98/98SE or Macintosh PC are connected with a DV cable  
Loading still images from a memory card  
Connect the camcorder to the PC with a USB cable. ImageMixer can then load still images from a memory  
card.  
Capturing audio from a microphone or CD  
ImageMixer can record audio from the PCs microphone. Because the recording can be made while playing  
the video back at the same time, it is easy to add audio that is in sync with previously recorded video.  
ImageMixer can also add music from a CD as background music for your movie.  
Editing still images  
ImageMixer can adjust the brightness and contrast of still images and extract only the necessary portions.  
ImageMixer also has a variety of functions for correcting eye color tones that are too red.  
In addition, ImageMixer allows you to freely lay out still images, pictures, text, and other elements to create  
your own postcards, CD-R labels, etc.

IMAGEMIXER (cont.)  
Managing files on hard disk  
ImageMixer can manage elements that can be used in movie editing (video, still images, audio) as albums.  
Aside from permitting checking of files in list format or through a slide show, ImageMixer can also perform  
file operations such as search, move, duplicate, and delete. In addition to making movie editing easier, these  
functions are also useful for classifying and managing images with a camcorder.  
Create a Video CD  
ImageMixer can edit your captured and edited video and then create a Video CD.  
IMPORTANT:  
Differences from Digital Photo Navigator  
Unlike Digital Photo Navigator, ImageMixer only registers the location of an image file and its thumbnail  
image in albums. When images are handled by ImageMixer, the original file is affected by the operation.  
For example, if an image is deleted from an album, the original file is deleted. If a file is moved,  
ImageMixer loses track of where the file resides. Therefore, file operations should be conducted carefully.  
For more detailed information  
This manual only provides an overview of ImageMixer. For more details on how to use its many functions,  
refer to the online help.  
To display online help for Windows®, click the [?] button located in the upper right corner of the ImageMixer  
screen. Clicking this button launches the web browser and displays the online help.  
To display online help for Macintosh, double-click the “manual.html” file in the [ImageMixer with VCD]  
folder.
