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.

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.

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/
