Capabilities
Send your favorite videos and pictures by e-mail
Everyone has recording media 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 recording media 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 camera to a PC, you
can copy video files from the camera 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.

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 camera 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].
