Page 240: Precautions For Connecting The Camera To The Computer
Things to Mastering More Advanced Appendices Remember the Basics Techniques Precautions for Connecting the Camera to the Computer • When connecting the camera to the computer with an interface cable, make sure to connect the cable directly to the computer’s USB port. The connection may not operate correctly if you attach the camera to the computer via a USB hub. • The connection may not operate correctly if you are using other USB devices, excluding USB mice or keyboards, at the same time as the camera. If this occurs, disconnect the other devices from the computer and try reconnecting the camera. • Do not connect two or more cameras at the same time to the same computer. The connections may not operate correctly. • Do not allow the computer to go into sleep (standby) mode while a camera is connected via the USB interface cable. If this does happen, do not disconnect the interface cable. Try to awaken the computer with the camera in the connected state. Some computers will not awaken properly if you disconnect the camera while they are in sleep (standby) mode.

Page 291: Supported Image Types
Mastering More Advanced Appendices Remember the Basics Techniques Supported Image Types The following is a list of image types supported by ZoomBrowser EX. JPEG (.JPG) Most cameras use this image type. It compresses at very high ratios, taking advantage of the characteristics of the human eye. However, because it is an irreversible compression method (part of the data is lost during compression), if you process and save an image repeatedly using this method, the image may become rougher. RAW (.CRW/.CR2) This is a proprietary image type provided by Canon. It saves the output of the image pixels from a digital camera without any deterioration in the quality of the image. Some cameras might not support this image type. Windows bitmap (.BMP) This image type comes standard with Windows. Most Windows programs support it. TIFF (.TIF) This is a relatively popular image type. It is widely supported by non-Windows programs (such as Macintosh). PhotoCD (.PCD) This is the image type used for Photo CDs. AVI (.AVI) Standard Windows movie type. The movie icon appears in ZoomBrowser EX’s Browser Area. MOV (.MOV) Movie type. The movie icon appears in ZoomBrowser EX’s Browser Area.
