hybrid Windows/Macintosh CD-ROM
containing the software for DIGITAL EOS.
The Version 6 software in this release is
compatible/bundled with the EOS D REBEL

same as those in Version 5 bundled with the
EOS 10D, and the inclusion of 2 drivers (for
the EOS D REBEL / 300 D and EOS 10D)
for connecting to the camera is planned.
Table 001 lists the types of software.
File Viewer Utility supports images from
all digital EOS products from the EOS D30 onwards and can also be used to
process RAW images and work with images via a card reader.
1.2 Compatible Operating Systems and Computer Environments

1.5 Software Overview
1) Software for Windows
(1) File Viewer Utility
When a supported camera is connected to a computer using the dedicated
cable, this software allows the user to view and download captured images
saved on a CF card in the camera (or images saved on any drive). It can also
be used to process RAW images, transfer images to retouching software, or
open the Camera Settings dialog box so that you can customize the camera
functions. Also, because File Viewer Utility can run as a standalone
application, it can be used at the same time as RemoteCapture or an image
retouching software.
The main change to the specifications from the current File Viewer Utility is
as follows:
• Addition of the same function for setting the resolution during image
transfer that was provided in the TWAIN driver/Plug-In Module on the
EOS DIGITAL SOLUTION DISK Version 3 (bundled with the EOS-1D and
EOS D60).
The RAW image processing functions provided on the EOS D REBEL / 300
D differ from those on the EOS 10D primarily as follows:
• The EOS D REBEL / 300 D features the same RAW and JPEG
simultaneous recording as that on the EOS D60. The JPEG extraction
function can only extract Middle/Fine quality JPEG images from EOS D
REBEL / 300 D RAW images.
• The EOS D REBEL / 300 D has no color temperature setting function,
however, the color temperature can be set for EOS D REBEL / 300 D
RAW images in File Viewer Utility.
Table 004 on the next page shows a comparison of the main functions
supported on the EOS D REBEL / 300 D, EOS 10D and EOS D60.

* The drivers needed for connecting to the camera are planned for the EOS D REBEL / 300 D and
EOS 10D. The EOS D60, EOS D30, EOS-1D and EOS-1Ds only support image downloading to
the File Viewer Utility via a card reader.

(2) RemoteCapture
Software for controlling the camera from the computer and downloading
images directly to the computer. As well as shooting single frames, it can
shoot using a timer (2 to 30 seconds in 1-second increments) or interval timer
(5 seconds to 60 minutes in 1-second increments).
Table 005 lists a comparison of the main functions.

The application software below conform to the main specifications of the
software on the EOS DIGITAL SOLUTION DISK Version 5 bundled with the EOS
10D and the DIGITAL CAMERA SOLUTION DISK bundled with the latest
PowerShot series cameras.
(3) WIA Driver
This driver is compatible with the Microsoft WIA (Windows Image Acquisition)
standard and runs on Windows XP and Windows Me. When a supported
camera is connected to a computer using the dedicated cable, the camera can
be handled as a removable disk for easy viewing of images on a CF card or
downloading JPEG images to the computer using the [Scanner and Camera
Wizard] or Microsoft Explorer (but not to display or download RAW images).
By using WIA TWAIN, you can also transfer JPEG images (but not RAW
images) to TWAIN-compatible software.
(4) TWAIN Driver
This driver conforms to the TWAIN standard and runs on Windows 2000 and
Windows 98SE.
When a supported camera is connected to a computer using the dedicated
cable, this software allows the user to view and download JPEG images saved
on a CF card in the camera and to transfer those images to TWAIN-compatible
software (but not RAW images).
Note that this driver can only be started up from TWAIN-compatible software.
(5) ZoomBrowser EX
Image integration software that allows you to view and manage your images.
Note that access to CIG (Canon Image Gateway) is available on the Japanese
and Europe version.
For processing of RAW images, select the RAW image from the window and
start the File Viewer Utility.
(6) PhotoRecord
Software for layout and printing. In conjunction with ZoomBrowser EX, it is
capable of automatic layout printing and index printing.
(7) PhotoStitch
Software for merging images. PhotoStitch can merge multiple images into a
single image with great precision and is ideal for creating panorama images.
2) Software for Macintosh
(1) File Viewer Utility
Macintosh version of the File Viewer Utility for Windows.
(2) RemoteCapture
Macintosh version of RemoteCapture for Windows.
(3) ImageBrowser
Image viewing and image management software with the same level of
functionality as ZoomBrowser EX for Windows.
Layout printing is provided as one of the print functions.
(4)PhotoStitch
Macintosh version of PhotoStitch for Windows.
