Viewing image files stored in Memory Stick media

Image files shot by a digital still camera or a digital video camera recorder and recorded on a Memory Stick media are stored in the DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) format. This format differs from the PGP format which is the standard for the PictureGear Pocket application.

You can view both PGP-format image files and DCF-format image files using the PictureGear Pocket application. In addition, you can convert DCF-format image files into PGP-format image files, and save them to your CLIÉ handheld or Memory Stick media.

DCF-format images must be saved on a Memory Stick media as they cannot be saved on your CLIÉ handheld.

On the Application Launcher screen, rotate the Jog Dial

navigator to select PG Pocket and press the Jog Dial navigator. Or, tap the PG Pocket icon on the Application Launcher screen.

The PictureGear Pocket application starts.

Insert the Memory Stick media into the Memory Stick

slot. Tap the arrow V on the top center of the screen to select

MS.

If you want to view DCF image files taken by digital still

cameras or etc., tap DCF.

If you want to view image files converted by the PictureGear Pocket application or the PictureGear 4.6Lite software, tap PGP.

Notes on DCF-format image files

• DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) is an industry standard format for

storing image files established by JEIDA (Japan Electronic Industry Development Association).

• Using the PictureGear Pocket application, you cannot view image files shot by

a device that does not support the DCF format such as the Sony digital video camera recorder DCR-TRV9000 or Sony digital still camera DSC-D700/D770.

• DCF-format image files are stored in the DCIM directory of the Memory Stick

media.

• You cannot move, copy, or transfer DCF-format image files using the Memory

Stick Gate application. However, you can convert them into PGP-format image files using the PictureGear Pocket application, and save them to your CLIÉ handheld.

• DCF-format image files may take more time to be displayed than PGP-format

image files.
