What is the SD memory card?
The SD memory card is a semiconductor memory which at 24 mm x 32 mm x 2.1 mm is
about the size of a postage stamp. It is a next-generation recording medium which can
be used instead of conventional storage devices such as MDs (mini discs), CDs
(compact discs) and cassette tapes. In addition, it allows data to be repeatedly recorded, played and erased. The SD memory card can be used to store computer image
files, video images (still pictures) and presentations created using Microsoft PowerPoint
which have been converted into JPEG images using the accessory JPEG Convertor
software, letting you make "PC-free" presentations using just the LCD projector.

Page 8
Making backups of the data in the SD memory card
B Double-click on the drive icon (refer to page
15) for the SD memory card in My Computer
(or on the Desktop if you are using a
Macintosh), and then drag the DCIM directory
to the Desktop (while clicking the Option button
if you are using a Macintosh). This will create a
backup copy on your computer of all data in
the DCIM directory.
Write-protect switch
B If the write-protect switch on the SD memory card is moved to the LOCK
position, it will not be possible to capture images using a projector or to
use any file editing functions such as deleting or moving image files. (An
error message will be displayed if you try to use any of these functions.)
B If the SD memory card is inserted into a computer using the PC card
adapter while the write-protect switch is at the LOCK position, a blue
warning screen will be displayed when the computer attempts to access
the card. If this happens, press any key on the computer's keyboard to
clear the error display. Check that the write-protect switch is not at the
LOCK position when using the SD memory card in a computer.
Notes on using the projector
Be sure to observe the following.
B Do not drop the projector or subject it to strong shocks.
B Keep the projector dry at all times.
B Do not use excessive force when opening and closing the card slot cover.
B Do not use the card if it is cracked or bent.
B Do not use the projector in humid environments such as bathrooms, or in
dusty environment such as warehouses.
Please make sure that you understand the following before using the
SD memory card.
B Panasonic shall not be liable for any damage or losses suffered by the
user, either directly or through claims from a third party, arising from or

Explanation of terms
Following are definitions for some of the terms used throughout these Operating Instructions.
PowerPoint
Application software for creating presentations which is included as part of
Microsoft Office. 95, 97 and 2000 versions are available, but the JPEG
Convertor software which is bundled with
the projector is only compatible with the
97 and 2000 versions.
JPEG
Abbreviation for Joint Photographic
Experts Group. JPEG is the name of an
international organisation which was
jointly established by the ISO and the
ITU-TS (formerly the CCIT), but the term
is normally used to refer to the specifications for the still picture compression
algorithm which was formulated by the
JPEG. This algorithm allows still images
such as photographs, single frames of
moving images and scanned images to
be compressed to up to 1/100th of their
original sizes. However, images which are
compressed in this way cannot be fully
restored to their original quality (some
deterioration in quality occurs), so that
compression rates of 1/5 to 1/30 are
normally used. Because of differences in
colour separation, two format sub-types
are used: RGB (red, green and blue) and
CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black).
The projector and the JPEG Convertor
software do not support the CMYK subtype of JPEG file.
BMP
Abbreviation for BitMaP. This is the
standard image format for the bitmapped
files (image files consisting of a collection
of dots) which are handled by Windows.
Colour levels of monochrome, 16 colours,
256 colours and 16.7 million colours are
supported.
RLE
Abbreviation for Run Length Encoding. It
can be used to achieve high rates of
compression for image files which contain
large areas of a single colour. RLE can be
used with monochrome, 16-colour and
256-colour BMP image files. (JPEG
Convertor does not support files compressed using RLE.)
TIFF
Abbreviation for Tagged-Image File
Format. This type of file is used to
exchange documents between computers. Colour levels of monochrome, 256
colours and 16.7 million colours are
supported. TIFF files in 16.7 million colour
format can include transparent colour.
LZW
Abbreviation for Lempel-Ziv-Welch. LZW
is a compression method used for TIFF
files, and is named thus because it was
developed by three people named
Lempel, Ziv and Welch. It compresses the
files by converting patterns within the
images into short codes. There is no
deterioration in image quality resulting
from compression, but high rates of
compression which are comparable to
JPEG files cannot be expected to be
obtained. (JPEG Convertor does not
support files compressed using LZW.)
DCF
Abbreviation for Design rule for Camera
File system. DCF is a standard which was
established by the Japan Electronic
Industry Development Association
(JEIDA) with the aim of realising a
common image file format, directory
name format and file name format for the
images used with digital still cameras. It is
based on recommendations such as Exif
Version 2.1.
Exif 2.1
Abbreviation for Exchangeable Image File
Format. This is an image file format which
was established by the Japan Electronic
Industry Development Association
(JEIDA). It defines the common information format and range of application for
images used with digital still cameras,
centring around TIFF and JPEG-format
images. Version 2.1 is the latest version of
the Exif standard.

DCF standard
This projector can only play back image files which comply with the DCF specification. The DCF specification imposes the following conditions. Image files or directories which do not conform to these conditions cannot be recognised by the projector.
Limits on directory names
Directories must be created as sub-directories of the DCIM directory on
the SD memory card.
B Data which is contained within any directory other than the DCIM directory
cannot be recognised.
Directory names must consist of three numerals (directory number)
followed by five alphanumeric characters. (Example: 100abcde)
B The three numerals must make up a number between 100 and 999, and
the alphanumeric characters can be taken from the following set of 37
characters: 0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_ (No distinction is
made between upper-case and lower-case alphabetic characters. Doublebyte characters cannot be used.)
Multiple directories using the same three-digit combination (directory
number) cannot be created.
B For example, if two directories exist named "100abcde" and "100fghij"
respectively, the projector will not recognise them.
Directory sub-hierarchies are not supported.
B
For example, if a directory called "323fghij" is created as a sub-directory of the
"102abcde" directory, the projector will not be able to recognise the sub-directory.
File names
File names must consist of four alphanumeric characters followed by
four numerals (file number), followed by ".jpg". (Example: abcd0001.jpg)
B The four numerals must make up a number between 0001 and 9999, and
the alphanumeric characters can be taken from the following set of 37
characters: 0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_ (No distinction is
made between upper-case and lower-case alphabetic characters. Doublebyte characters cannot be used.)
Multiple file names using the same four-digit combination (file number)
cannot be created.
B For example, if two files exist named "abcd0001.jpg" and "efgh0001.jpg"
respectively, the projector cannot recognise them normally.
File format
B Only JPEG image files which comply with the Exif 2.1 standard are
recognised.

drop-down list box.
The projector can project JPEG images
which are of XGA size, so Slide size
should be set to "XGA (1024 x 768)".
Note:
B
If Slide size is set to SXGA size, you
can create JPEG files with the
maximum quality, but they will be
converted to XGA size when they are
projected by the projector. Furthermore, the file size will also become
bigger. (This will reduce the number
of images which can be stored on a
single SD memory card.) In addition,
Slide size can be set to SVGA size to
reduce the file size, but when such
images are projected by the projector,
they will be increased to XGA size,
resulting in losses in picture quality.
$$

Checking, sorting and deleting images
JPEG Convertor lets you enlarge the imported images which are displayed in the
thumbnail screen for checking, and also lets you sort the images into a particular
order for displaying during a presentation. You can also delete unneeded images.
Checking images
Double click on the image you wish to check.
An enlarged view of the image will appear, so that
you can check that the image has imported correctly.
Note:
B You can also enlarge thumbnail images by
right-clicking on them and selecting Display
picture from the pop-up menu.
Sorting images
Drag the thumbnail image and drop it in the
place where you wish the image to appear.
A green dividing line appears between the images. If you
release the mouse button when the thumbnail image is in
the desired location, the image will move to that location.
Note:
B You can also move thumbnail images by right-
clicking on them and selecting Sort from the
pop-up menu, and then using the Arrange
Images dialog box which appears.
Deleting images
Select the image you wish to delete.
You can select multiple images by pressing the
Ctrl key while clicking on each image to be selected. You can also press the Shift key to select
all images within a range between two images.
Right-click in the thumbnail image screen, and then
select Delete slide from the pop-up menu to delete
the selected images from the thumbnail screen.
If you select Delete All in the pop-up menu, all
imported images will be deleted.
Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.

Conversion settings for saving images
The conversion settings to be used when saving images onto the SD memory
card or into other folders can be set using the Preferences dialog box which
appears when Preferences is selected from the Setting menu, or using the
Picture quality slider in the main application window.
Save as DCF check box
If this check box is selected, the file
name and folder name will be converted to DCF format (refer to page
19) when the file is saved.
If this check box is not selected, the
file will be saved with the file name
which appears below the image in
the thumbnail screen.
Note:
B When saving the image onto an
SD memory card, the format will
automatically be converted to DCF.
Prepare thumbnail check box
If this check box is selected, a
thumbnail image will be created and
embedded in the JPEG file when the
file is saved.
Note:
B When saving the image onto an
SD memory card, thumbnail
images will be created automatically regardless of this check box
setting.
Save as different size check box
If this check box is selected, the file
will be converted to the size specified in the Converted size list box
when the file is saved.
Note:
B When converting from PowerPoint
presentation files, the file will be
saved at the same size which was
set at the time of importing, regardless of this check box setting.
Converted size list box
The projector can project JPEG
images which are of XGA size, so
Converted size should be set to "XGA
(1024 x 768)". If the Save as different
size check box is not selected, the
Converted size setting will be ignored.
Picture quality slider
This adjusts the image quality (compression rate) for JPEG images when
they are being saved using the Save to
SD Memory Card and Save to other
folder commands. If a higher image
quality is selected, the resulting file size
will be greater, and if a lower quality is
selected, the resulting file size will be
smaller (about 1/5 the size compared to
when high quality is selected).
Note:
B JPEG is an effective compression
method for natural images such as
photographs. Presentations
created using PowerPoint and
illustrations created using graphics
programs may show some deterioration in image quality even if a
high-quality setting is used.
