Capabilities  
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.  
Loading Still Images  
The Digital Photo Navigator software allows you to store and view still images in a photo album format.  
Playing Back and Handling Images  
You can send still image files as an e-mail attachment and store an album as a web page.  
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.
