NOTE

•This manual uses Windows XP screen shots and procedures in the explanations. The screen shots and procedures may appear slightly different if you are using another version of Windows.

•In this manual, the term “memory card” is used for CF cards, SD cards and PC cards.

Chapter 1

Try It! ZoomBrowser EX

Starting ZoomBrowser EX (1/4)

This chapter covers the ZoomBrowser EX basics, such as starting the program, downloading images from the camera and printing them. It begins with the procedures for starting the program.

IMPORTANT

•This guide assumes that all the relevant software programs and drivers have been correctly installed on your computer. If they have not been installed yet, read the guides that accompanied your camera and install them before proceeding further.

Starting Methods

There are two ways to start ZoomBrowser EX: “Starting by Connecting the Camera to the Computer” and “Starting by Clicking an Icon or Menu.”

It is generally easier and more convenient to start it by connecting the camera to the computer.

However, you may wish to click an icon or menu to start it under the following circumstances.

•When you are using a memory card reader.

•When you wish to use ZoomBrowser EX without connecting a camera.

•When you are restarting ZoomBrowser EX with the camera still connected after the program has been closed once.

IMPORTANT

•With some versions of Windows, you may not be able to use the “Starting by Connecting the Camera to the Computer” method the very first time the camera is connected to the computer after it is booted up (owing to a limitation of Windows). In this case, start ZoomBrowser EX with the “Starting by Clicking an Icon or Menu” method. You may use the camera connection method from the second time onward.

What is ZoomBrowser EX? Finding Images and Folders (1/2)

It is important to understand how folders are used in ZoomBrowser EX to store images.

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].

Windows 2000/Windows Me/Windows 98 users should doubleclick the [My Documents] folder, followed by [My Pictures].

The images that you downloaded in Chapter 1, Downloading Images to a Computer, should be contained in the My Pictures folder. As you will note, the folders mentioned above also appear at the right of the ZoomBrowser EX window.

If you double-click the folders appearing in the Windows screen shot at the left, you will find image files and folders with the same names as those displayed in the ZoomBrowser EX window.

As this demonstrates, when you open a particular folder in ZoomBrowser EX and download images to it, or move images between folders, these changes are also happening in the corresponding folders shown by the Windows operating system.

What is ZoomBrowser EX? Using the Right-Click in Operations

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.

Right-click anywhere on the image to display a shortcut menu.

A shortcut menu is a convenient collection of the most common window buttons and menu commands that apply to a given situation.
