○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk

Some camera models do not support some of the software functions. Please check the Camera and Software Compatibility chart to confirm the compatibility of your camera. (p. 12)

• Downloading Camera Images to Your Computer

ZoomBrowser EX (Windows)/ImageBrowser (Macintosh)

You can start either of these programs and display the camera images automatically simply by connecting the digital camera to the computer’s USB port. Download the camera’s still images or movies by selecting the thumbnails (tiny images) shown on the computer display.

TWAIN Driver (Windows)

This driver for Windows 98 and Windows 2000 loads camera images into TWAIN- compliant programs, such as Adobe Photoshop LE, ArcSoft PhotoStudio, ArcSoft PhotoImpression and ArcSoft VideoImpression.

WIA Driver (Windows)

This driver for Windows Me and Windows XP starts the Scanners and Cameras Wizard to automatically download camera images to the computer. It also allows you to copy camera images using standard file copying procedures in Windows Explorer (but it cannot upload computer files to the camera).

USB Mounter (Macintosh)

This program for Macintosh makes your camera appear on your computer as a card reader so that you can download from the camera as if you were copying images from a card reader.

• Categorizing and Organizing Large Volumes of Images

ZoomBrowser EX (Windows)/ImageBrowser (Macintosh)

These programs display downloaded images in an index format and allow you to sort and organize them by criteria such as the content or shooting date. ZoomBrowser EX also allows you to display all the images within folders nestled within other folders as thumbnails, providing an intuitive, easy-to-use interface for organizing your pictures.

• Searching and Organizing Images Chronologically

ImageBrowser (Macintosh)

This programs can display images in order according to the creation date. As the images display in a simulated time tunnel, you can zoom the tunnel forward and backward in time as if you were moving through time.

Windows / Macintosh

• Converting RAW Format Image Files

File Viewer Utility

This program converts RAW images that have been downloaded to a computer into standard image file formats, such as the TIFF (8 bit/channel or 16 bit/channel) and JPEG formats. ZoomBrowser EX and ImageBrowser use this utility when you convert RAW images from within them.

• Creating Mail Attachments from Images

ZoomBrowser EX (Windows)/ImageBrowser (Macintosh)

These programs can start your email program* and send images as file attachments to it. Since the file size and compression rate can be controlled, you can reduce large image files to sizes small enough for easy transmission.

* The automatic start of email programs is only supported by Windows and the email

programs must be enabled as MAPI clients.

• Programs for Uploading New Start-Up Images and Start-Up Sounds to the Camera

ZoomBrowser EX (Windows)/ImageBrowser (Macintosh)

These programs can add various camera settings such as start-up images, start-up sounds and shutter sounds - collectively called the My Camera Settings - that have been saved onto the computer.

• Laying Out and Printing Images

PhotoRecord (Windows)/ImageBrowser (Macintosh)

These programs permit you to add backgrounds and borders (Windows only), as well as titles and comments, and print out the images. You can enjoy preparing prints of your images appearing as if they were pasted into a photo album. Naturally, you can also use them to make artistic single-image layouts.

Windows / Macintosh

• Programs for Printing Indexes

PhotoRecord (Windows)/ImageBrowser (Macintosh)

These programs can output an index of the computer or camera’s image thumbnails (tiny versions) to a printer.

• Programs for Printing Photo Cards and Adhesive Labels with Card Photo Printer CP-100/CP-10

PhotoRecord (Windows)/ImageBrowser (Macintosh)

These programs can output your original photo cards with added text or designs when you connect a Card Photo Printer CP-100 or Card Photo Printer CP-10 (both sold separately) with interface cable PIF-100 (sold separately)* to the computer. They can also print out adhesive labels (8-label sheets) with the same photo or different photos on each label.

* Not sold in some regions.

• Merging Panoramic Images

PhotoStitch

This program takes images shot over several frames in the camera’s Stitch Assist mode, automatically arranges them in order and stitches them together in one simple procedure. You can shoot and stitch 360º scenes together and save them in the QuickTime VR format to make them appear to surround you as you view them.

• Computer-Controlled Camera Shooting

RemoteCapture

This program allows your camera’s shutter to be controlled by the computer when the two are connected. The recorded images are loaded directly into the computer.

Depending on your camera model, the screen may slightly differ.

Windows

Installing the TWAIN Driver / WIA Driver

• Be very careful to follow the steps below in order to install the driver software.

1. Install one of the following drivers from the Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk (p. 18).

Windows 98 / Windows 2000: TWAIN Driver Windows Me / Windows XP: WIA Driver

- Copy the required files to your computer.

2. Connect the camera to the computer with the USB cable.

- Complete the steps required to install the driver and then close the installer.

• The installation procedures may vary between Windows versions.

WIA Driver Installation Precautions

• You can install the WIA Driver if you are using Windows Me or Windows XP. In addition, you should read the “WIA Driver Limitations” below before installing the driver.

WIA Driver Limitations

• When you have set the WIA Driver to start a particular application program when you connect the camera, the program may cause an error message similar to the following to appear: “TWAIN data source not found. Reinstall the scanner software.” If this happens, select [WIA-camera model] in the application program as the TWAIN device. Your camera model name will appear in place of the “camera model” in the brackets above.

TWAIN Driver

• TWAIN Driver is the driver software for USB connections to Windows 98 and Windows 2000 only. It is the software required to load images into TWAIN-compliant application programs, such as Adobe Photoshop LE, ArcSoft PhotoStudio, ArcSoft PhotoImpression and ArcSoft VideoImpression. Since it is not a stand-alone program, you must always use it by starting it from within a TWAIN-compliant program.

WIA Driver

• WIA Driver is the driver software for USB connections to Windows Me and Windows XP only. When you connect the camera to a computer with a USB cable, the Scanners and Cameras Wizard will open automatically to assist with downloading. This driver also allows you to use Windows Explorer to display the camera’s thumbnail (tiny) images on the computer and download images with standard file copying procedures.

Connecting the Camera to a Computer

Connection Precautions

• Do not connect the camera to the computer until you have installed the software from the Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk.

• Use the USB cable to attach the camera directly to a USB port on the computer, not through a USB hub. The connection may not operate correctly through a USB hub.

• The connection may not operate correctly if you are using other USB devices, excluding USB mice or keyboards, at the same time as the camera. If this occurs, disconnect the other devices from the computer and try reconnecting the camera.

• Do not connect two or more cameras to the same computer via the USB interface. The connections may not operate correctly.

• You are recommended to power the camera from a household power source (AC adapter) when connecting to a computer.

• Never allow the computer to go into sleep (standby) mode while a camera is connected via the USB interface. If it does happen, never disconnect the USB cable. Try to awaken the computer with the camera in the connected state. Some computers will not awaken properly if you disconnect the camera while they are in sleep (standby) mode. Please refer to your computer manual for instructions regarding the sleep (standby) mode.

Attach the supplied USB cable to the computer’s USB port and the

camera’s DIGITAL terminal.

• You do not need to turn off the computer for this procedure. Refer to the computer’s manual for the location of the USB ports. See the Camera User Guide for instructions for attaching the cable.
