Where Are Images Stored?

Use the following procedures to find out where image files are stored on your computer when they are downloaded from the camera.
1.
Click the Windows [Start] menu and select [My Pictures].

With ZoomBrowser EX you can access many useful functions by using the right mouse button (right-click).
For example, if you right-click a thumbnail, the following shortcut menu appears.
The right-click allows you to use ZoomBrowser EX more efficiently. After you become familiar with ZoomBrowser EX, try right-clicking in many situations and you will be impressed with its convenience.
Note that, in general, this manual does not cover operations using the right-click. (This is because explaining many shortcut menu variations would take too many pages of this manual.) However, there are a few operations that are only accessible by right-clicking. These operations are described on the corresponding pages.
