HOW TO ENJOY THE Xacti Library FEATURE
The Xacti Library feature is a system that allows you to save the files stored in your camera’s card to a large-capacity hard disk—all without using a computer.
Copying files between the camera and hard disk made easy
You can copy files recorded with your camera to a hard disk, as well as transfer files from the hard disk to your camera’s card.
15 English
Reproduce the high quality of captured images
Because the files from your hard disk can be output directly to your TV, you can enjoy watching video clips without losing any of the recorded high definition. You can also play back the files from the camera’s card.
PLAYING BACK ON A TV
English 16
HOW TO ENJOY THE Xacti Library FEATURE
Use the album feature to organize your files
Organizing your files into albums is a snap. It’s easy to find the files you’re looking for to include in the album, because you select them from “rolls” you copied to the hard disk.
ALBUM

EDIT ALBUM

PLAY
HINT
i The original meaning of “roll” comes from conventional cameras, in which
rolls of film are used. In a digital camera, however, recorded files are stored on a card (or the internal memory), and so one card (or one internal memory) is said to comprise a virtual “roll”. For example, when copying files by rolls, all the files from the camera are copied to the hard disk at one time.
17 English
ASSEMBLE THE DEVICES
You will need the following devices in order to use the Xacti Library.
Hard disk
The hard disk should have a USB terminal that is USB 2.0 High Speed compatible. For more information about compatible hard disks, please see page 57 and visit our website at: http://www.sanyo-dsc.com/
PLAYING BACK ON A TV
English 18
ASSEMBLE THE DEVICES
TV
By using a full HD (high definition) compatible TV, you will be able to enjoy the excellent image quality of video clips recorded in the full HD mode.
Others
i A connection cable between the docking station and the hard disk
(example: USB interface cable, etc.) is necessary.
19 English
CONNECTIONS
Connect all the devices. * Please make sure that the camera and all devices are turned OFF before
proceeding.
Docking station
Use the supplied cable to connect a TV to the docking station.
Set input to “VIDEO”
CAUTION Caution when disconnecting cables
i When using the Xacti Library, do not remove the camera from the docking
station, or disconnect the USB cable. If the USB cable is disconnected while accessing the media, not only may the stored files be damaged, but it may also become necessary to reformat the media, and in doing so, lose all the data.
i Be sure to turn off the camera before removing it from the docking station.
By turning off the camera, you will be able to safely disconnect the drive.
To reduce spurious radiation
i Please affix the core (included).
To power outlet
Use a USB cable and the supplied USB converter cable to connect the hard disk to the docking station.
