Downloading and

Downloading Images to a Computer (1/8)
This chapter explains a sequence of basic procedures in order, such as
downloading images from the camera and printing downloaded
images. This section starts by explaining the procedures for
downloading images from the camera.
IMPORTANT
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
• This guide assumes that all the relevant software programs
and drivers have been correctly installed on your computer. If
you have not yet installed them, read the guide supplied with
your product and install them.
Starting Methods for ZoomBrowser EX
There are two ways to start ZoomBrowser EX: “Auto Start” and
“Starting ZoomBrowser EX from the Icon.” The “Auto Start”
method is generally the most convenient for downloading
images from the camera. Use the icon method under the
following circumstances.
• To use ZoomBrowser EX when a camera or memory card
reader is not connected.
• To restart ZoomBrowser EX with a camera or memory card
reader already attached after the program has been closed.
• To use ZoomBrowser EX when the Auto Start function has
been set to start a different program when the camera is
connected.

• With some versions of Windows, you may not be able to use
the Auto Start method the very first time the camera is
connected after the computer has been booted up (due to a
Windows limitation). Use the icon method in this case. You
can use the Auto Start method from the second time onward.

What Does It Mean to Refresh a Folder
Adding, moving, copying or editing an image or a folder within
ZoomBrowser EX ensures that it is updated and appears
correctly in the Browsing Area.
However, the information ZoomBrowser EX possesses and the
actual file contents can be different when an image file is
moved or copied using Windows functions or edited with a
separate program.
In this case, the “current state of the folders” has to be
checked and updated. This is what is meant by refreshing a
folder.
Click the [View] menu and select [Refresh Current Folder]. This
will update ZoomBrowser EX’s information about all the folders.
