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.
