What is ImageBrowser?
This chapter explains the various basic skills required to master
ImageBrowser. Let's begin with an overview of the main features of
ImageBrowser.
Connect the camera to a computer to:
• View an index of the images from the camera on the
computer monitor.
• Download images from the camera to the computer.
• View information about images stored in the camera, such as
the shooting date and camera settings.
• Use your computer to set up slide shows or DPOF print
settings (not available on some models).
• Save computer images onto your camera.
• Operate the shutter of a camera connected to a computer via
an interface cable to take pictures remotely, or to perform
interval timer shooting after specifying an interval and the
number of images to be taken (only on models supporting
remote shooting).
• Convert RAW format images (change them to the TIFF or
JPEG format and resave them). Adjust the brightness,
contrast, color and other settings as you convert them. Some
camera models do not support RAW images.
