Still Image Shooting And Direct Print - Canon DC10 E Service Manual

6-2 Still Image Shooting and Direct Print

The DC10 E and DC20 E have a function for recording still images on miniSD cards and DVD discs (both media are JPEG-com-
pressed). It is possible to check the still images (JPEG-compressed) recorded by the DC10 E or DC20 E without finalizing the disc.
If the images recorded on the disc are to be played back on another DVD player or the like, they must be finalized. To enable still images
in addition to video to be played back on a DVD player or the like, the still images must be converted into an irreversible MPEG motion
video that is called "Photo movie". Only by making such conversion can still images be played back on a DVD player or the like. The
images are played back one after another at intervals of approx. 3 seconds in the form of a slideshow on a DVD player. If the still images
are to be edited using the playlist editing (VR mode) function provided for the DC10 E/DC20 E, the still images (JPEG-compressed)
must be converted into Photo movies.
Even when the still images on the disc have been converted into Photo movies, they remain stored on the disc as JPEG-compressed
images unless the original still images are erased. Using these still images, the DC10 E/DC20 E enables printout on a PictBridge-
compliant printer. The DC10 E/DC20 E does not support non-PictBridge-compliant printers (with CP direct specification or Camera
direct specification).
The DC10 E/DC20 E is also capable of recording still images (JPEG-compressed) on both discs and cards (miniSD), and the same
image size and quality are featured by both of these media. The DC10 E/DC20 E also features a function to copy images from discs to
cards and vice versa. Thus, to play back images on a DVD player or perform playlist editing on the DC10 E/DC20 E the still images shot
and stored on the cards, these still images on the card must be copied to a disc and then converted into Photo movies.
Similarly, if DPOF-compliant printing is to be selected for the printing of the still images on the disc, the still images on the disc must
be copied to the card and then processed.
The diagram below shows the relationships between the still images on the discs and on the cards.
After finalization,
play back on
a DVD player.
