Viewing images using a personal computer

With this camera, the still image data is compressed in JPEG format and move image data is compressed with MPEG-1 format. These data can be viewed using a personal computer which installed JPEG and MPEG browsing software as Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0. For further information to use the browsing software, refer to the personal computer instruction manual.

Example: personal computer with Windows 95/98 installed

1 Start up personal computer and insert the floppy

disk into the disk drive of the personal computer.

2 Open “ My computer” and double click

“

3.5 inch FD (A:)”.

3 Double-click the desired data file.

Recommended OS/applications example

Windows 3.1, Windows 95 or later, Windows NT3.51 or later, etc.

applications

Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, Netscape Navigator etc.

To display the image list, double-click “MAVICA.HTM” of the floppy disk recorded with this camera if your personal computer is installed with a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Notes

•To play back an MPEG file, install ActiveMovie Player (DirectShow).

• For playing back a file recorded in MOVIE or VOICE mode, first copy it to the hard disk of the personal computer. If you play back the file from a floppy disk, the picture and sound may break off.

• You cannot play back an MPEG file with Windows 3.1.

• Opening non-compressed images recorded in BITMAP mode (p. 28) requires an application program designed to view bitmapped images.

• For Macintosh, you can use the floppy disk recorded with this camera using the PC Exchange with Mac OS system 7.5 or higher. A viewing application for Macintosh is also necessary for viewing images. To play back an MPEG file, install QuickTime 3.0.
