•You can stitch images horizontally or vertically or in a matrix format.
• When you shoot the surroundings in 360 degrees, you can later stitch the images to form a 360-degree cylindrical shape. By saving this stitched image in QuickTime VR format, you can then get a virtual view of the various parts of the image.
■ RemoteCapture
■ File Viewer Utility
•You can convert RAW format images (some models may not offer this format).
• Image quality and color adjustments can be made when converting RAW images.
•You can use the computer to operate the shutter of a camera connected to it via a USB cable.

Using Contextual Menus

When you hold down the [control] key and click the mouse button, a menu is displayed. This is a contextual menu. In ImageBrowser, you can access many useful functions through contextual menus. For example, when you hold down the [control] key and click an image, the following contextual menu appears.
A contextual menu is, as its name implies, a menu whose options vary according to the context. It is a collection of the most commonly used buttons and commands that apply to a given situation. Contextual menus allow you to use ImageBrowser more efficiently. When you feel comfortable with ImageBrowser, try using the contextual menus in different situations and you will be impressed with their convenience.
Note that, in general, this manual does not cover operations using contextual menus. (This is because explaining the many menu variations would take too many pages.)
Nevertheless, a full explanation is provided on the corresponding page when a contextual menu is used in a procedure.
Click the mouse button anywhere in the window while holding down the [control] key to display the contextual menu.
