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.

HOW TO ENJOY THE Xacti Library FEATURE

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.

3 English

Use the album feature to organize your files

Organizing your files into albums is a snap. By storing the files copied to the
hard disk into albums, you can play a slideshow of just those files you stored.

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.
