Capabilities

Send your favorite videos and pictures by e-mail

Everyone has recording media containing videos and pictures that they never get to show to anyone.
No matter how wonderful, the only people that got to see them were families and guests, because there was
no convenient way to show them except in your own home on the TV. Friends and relatives who live far away
had no way of viewing them. And you don’t want to throw those recording media away because they hold
treasured memories.
Now you can solve all of these problems with a PC. By using a USB cable to connect a camera to a PC, you
can copy video files from the camera to the PC. You can then send the files to anyone as an e-mail
attachment.

Loading Still Images

The Digital Photo Navigator software allows you to store and view still images in a photo album format.

Playing Back and Handling Images

You can send still image files as an e-mail attachment and store an album as a web page.

Create a virtual album

If you have a lot of image files with similar names, it can be hard to remember which file contains which
image.
You can use this software to display these images on your PC just as if you had pasted them in a photo album.
Because you can scan through these images just as if you were flipping through a photo album, you can
quickly find a specific image that you want to send through e-mail, for example.
