HOW TO ENJOY THE Xacti Library

FEATURE

The Xacti Library feature is a system that allows you to save the files stored in

your camera’s card to a large-capacity hard disk—all without using a

computer.

Copying files between the camera and hard

disk made easy

You can copy files recorded with your camera to a hard disk, as well as

transferring files from the hard disk to your camera’s card.

English 4

Reproduce the high quality of captured images

Because the files from your hard disk can be output directly to your TV, you

can enjoy watching video clips without losing any of the recorded high

definition. You can also play back the files from the camera’s card.

5 English

HOW TO ENJOY THE Xacti Library FEATURE

Use the album feature to organize your files

Organizing your files into albums is a snap. It’s easy to find the files you’re

looking for to include in the album, because you select them from “rolls” you

copied to the hard disk.

HINT

i The original meaning of “roll” comes from conventional cameras, in which

rolls of film are used. In a digital camera, however, recorded files are stored

on a card (or the internal memory), and so one card (or one internal

memory) is said to comprise a virtual “roll”. For example, when copying

files by rolls, all the files from the camera are copied to the hard disk at one

time.
