Starting ZoomBrowser EX (1/4)

Starting Methods

There are two ways to start ZoomBrowser EX: Starting by Connecting the Camera to the Computer and Starting by Clicking an Icon or Menu. It is generally easier and more convenient to start it by connecting the camera to the computer. However, you may wish to click an icon or menu to start it under the following circumstances. When you are using a memory card reader. When you wish to use ZoomBrowser EX without connecting a camera. When you are restarting ZoomBrowser EX with the camera still connected after the program has been closed once. IMPORTANT
With some versions of Windows, you may not be able to use the Starting by Connecting the Camera to the Computer method the very first time the camera is connected to the computer after it is booted up (owing to a limitation of Windows). In this case, start ZoomBrowser EX with the Starting by Clicking an Icon or Menu method. You may use the camera connection method from the second time onward.
This chapter covers the ZoomBrowser EX basics, such as starting the program, downloading images from the camera and printing them. It begins with the procedures for starting the program. IMPORTANT
This guide assumes that all the relevant software programs and drivers have been correctly installed on your computer. If they have not been installed yet, read the guides that accompanied your camera and install them before proceeding further.
Starting ZoomBrowser EX (2/4)
Your camera model name or Canon Camera will appear here.
Starting by Connecting the Camera to the Computer
You can start ZoomBrowser EX with this method by attaching the camera to the computer and preparing it to transfer data. Set the following Auto Start Settings the first time (only) that you connect the camera to a computer. If you have already set them, proceed to the steps on the next page. IMPORTANT

The images will begin to download. The downloaded images will be saved into folders according to their creation dates. When the download is complete, the downloaded images will appear in the main window.
Click [Start Image Download].

Downloaded images

Downloading Images to a Computer (3/4)
The cameras Print/Share button cannot be used to download images if it is not lighted.

Using Camera Commands to Download Images
You can download images using camera commands if your camera supports the direct transfer function (camera has a Print/Share button ).
The dialog in step 1 will not display if the Camera Window or RemoteCapture Task window is open. Please close these windows. A dialog will appear if a camera and a memory card reader are connected concurrently to allow you to select the device from which images are shown. Select the desired device from the list box and click [OK].
If a dialog similar to the one below appears, proceed to Step 2. The Print/Share button will light up at this point and a direct transfer menu like the one shown at the lower right will appear in the cameras LCD monitor.
Downloading Images to a Computer (4/4)
The image transfer will commence after you set the direct transfer setting on the camera.
See the Camera User Guide for the settings and procedures related to the Direct Transfer menu shown on the cameras LCD monitor. You can also download images by clicking the [Start Image Download] button on the program window on the computer instead of clicking the cameras Print/Share button. You can view information such as the destination folder for images by clicking [Show Current Settings] in the program window on the computer. By the default setting, the program downloads all the images that have not yet been downloaded.
The images will begin to download. The downloaded images will be saved into folders according to the shooting date. The images will display in the main window when the download is complete.

Printing Images (1/6)

You will use the PhotoRecord printing utility to print. REFERENCE
Images recorded in the Adobe RGB color space will appear unsaturated when printed using PhotoRecord. (Color space settings are only available on select camera models.) Please see the PhotoRecord Help menu for more details on using this program.

Select the images you wish to print and click [Next].

Finding Images and Folders (1/2)
The images that you downloaded in Chapter 1, Downloading Images to a Computer, should be contained in the My Pictures folder. As you will note, the folders mentioned above also appear at the right of the ZoomBrowser EX window.
It is important to understand how folders are used in ZoomBrowser EX to store images.

Where Are Images Stored?

Use the following procedures to find out where image files are stored on your computer when they are downloaded from the camera.
Click the Windows [Start] menu and select [My Pictures].
Windows 2000/Windows Me/Windows 98 users should doubleclick the [My Documents] folder, followed by [My Pictures].
If you double-click the folders appearing in the Windows screen shot at the left, you will find image files and folders with the same names as those displayed in the ZoomBrowser EX window. As this demonstrates, when you open a particular folder in ZoomBrowser EX and download images to it, or move images between folders, these changes are also happening in the corresponding folders shown by the Windows operating system.
Finding Images and Folders (2/2)

Folders within Folders

You can create folders within folders, adding successive levels to provide detailed categories that make it easy to find and use your images.
Folders in the Browsing Area and Folder Area
Image thumbnails (tiny versions) are shown in the right-hand side of the ZoomBrowser EX window. This area is called the Browsing Area. The area in the middle, called the Folder Area, shows the folder directory much as it is shown in Windows Explorer. The Folder Area shows all the folders on the computer. The orange colored folder is the currently selected folder. The images inside this folder are what are shown in the Browsing Area.
Example of folders within folders for categorizing images
Instructions for creating folders are included in Chapter 4.
In ZoomBrowser EX 4, image files in folders within the Program Files folder (saved using ZoomBrowser EX 2 or 3) will not display. To display these images, follow the procedures in If You Were Using ZoomBrowser EX Version 2 or 3 of the Troubleshooting (2/ 4) section.

If your camera supports RAW images you can handle higher quality images. However, the RAW format is a special file format and RAW images cannot be opened or processed in their native format in standard image processing programs. RAW images must first be converted to standard file formats, such as TIFF or JPEG formats. This section explains conversion procedures. IMPORTANT
Refer to the manual supplied with your camera to determine whether your camera supports RAW images or not. Depending upon your camera model, a different program than the one introduced here may start when you convert RAW images. If that occurs, refer to the manual for the software supplied with your camera.
Select a RAW image in the Browser Area. Click [View & Modify] in the main window, followed by [Process RAW Images] in the next menu.
RAW images are extremely high-quality images that are not subject to any deterioration due to compression processing. See the Help menu for conversion details. After you click [Process RAW Images], click the [Help] menu in the main window.
As shown on the next page, the main window, Navigator window, and Image Quality Adjustment Window will display. REFERENCE
