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

001 002

EDIT ALBUM

DELETE ALBUM

CREATE NEW 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

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.

Why is there no sound?

What is the difference among the normal video (composite video) output, S-video output and component/ HDMI output?

The volume on the TV is set to the minimum.

— Normal video

Adjust the volume on the TV.

(composite video) output: Combines Y (luminance) signal and chrominance signal and outputs the combined signal. S-video output: Outputs the Y signal and chrominance signal separately. Component/ HDMI signal: Outputs the Y signal, B-Y signal and R-Y signal separately. The picture quality becomes increasingly higher, in order from normal video output, to S-video output, to component/ HDMI output.
