What Can Be Accomplished with the Software
This topic introduces the main features of the software programs contained on the
CD-ROMs.
Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk
Some camera models do not support some of the software functions.
Please check the Camera and Software Compatibility chart to confirm the
compatibility of your camera. (p. 12)
• Downloading Camera Images to Your Computer
ZoomBrowser EX (Windows)/ImageBrowser (Macintosh)
You can start either of these programs* and display the camera images automatically
simply by connecting the digital camera to the computers USB port. Download the
camera’s still images or movies by selecting the thumbnails (tiny images) shown on
the computer display.
* For Windows systems, the ZoomBrowser EX auto start function is only supported for
Windows 98/Windows 2000/Windows XP. It is not supported for Windows Me.
TWAIN Driver (Windows)
This driver for Windows 98 and Windows 2000 loads camera images into TWAIN-
compliant programs, such as ArcSoft PhotoImpression, ArcSoft VideoImpression and
Adobe Photoshop LE.
WIA Driver (Windows)
This driver for Windows Me and Windows XP starts the Scanners and Cameras
Wizard to automatically download camera images to the computer. It also allows you
to copy camera images using standard file copying procedures in Windows Explorer
(but it cannot upload computer files to the camera).
7
Plug-In Module (Macintosh)
This plug-in module loads camera images into plug-in compliant programs on the
computer.
USB Mounter (Macintosh)
This utility allows you to treat the camera like a computer drive or read-only CF card
reader, displaying the CF card contents on the computer and permitting files to be
downloaded as if they were being copied from a card reader.
• Categorizing and Organizing Large Volumes of Images
ZoomBrowser EX (Windows)/ImageBrowser (Macintosh)
These programs display downloaded images in lists and allow you to sort and
organize them by content. They allow you to search and organize images as if they
were spread out on your desktop.
• Searching and Organizing Images Chronologically
ZoomBrowser EX (Windows)/ImageBrowser (Macintosh)
These programs can display images in order according to the creation date. As the
images display in a simulated time tunnel, you can zoom the tunnel forward and
backward in time as if you were moving through time.
• Converting RAW Format Image Files
RAW Image Converter
This program can convert images shot in the camera’s RAW file format into standard
image formats, such as 8- or 16-bit TIFF files or Windows BMP files (Windows only).
* ZoomBrowser EX (Windows), ImageBrowser (Macintosh), TWAIN Driver (Windows 98/
Windows 2000 only) and Plug-In Module (Macintosh) can also convert RAW images.
8
• Creating Mail Attachments from Images
ZoomBrowser EX (Windows)/ImageBrowser (Macintosh)
These programs can start your email program* and send images as file attachments
to it. Since the file size and compression rate can be controlled, you can reduce large
image files to sizes small enough for easy transmission.
* The automatic start of email programs is only supported by Windows and the email
programs must be enabled as MAPI clients.
• Programs for Saving New Start-Up Images and Start-Up
Sounds to the Camera
ZoomBrowser EX (Windows)/ImageBrowser (Macintosh)
These programs can add various camera settings such as start-up images, start-up
sounds and shutter sounds - collectively called the My Camera Settings - that have
been saved onto the computer.
9
• Laying Out and Printing Images
PhotoRecord (Windows)/ImageBrowser (Macintosh)
These programs permit you to add backgrounds and borders (Windows only), as well
as titles and comments, and print out the images. You can enjoy preparing prints of
your images appearing as if they were pasted into a photo album. Naturally, you can
also use them to make artistic single-image layouts.
• Programs for Printing Indexes
PhotoRecord (Windows) / ImageBrowser (Macintosh)
These programs can output an index of the computer or camera’s image thumbnails
(tiny versions) to a printer.
• Programs for Printing with Card Photo Printer CP-10
PhotoRecord (Windows) / ImageBrowser (Macintosh)
These programs can output your original photo cards with added text or design, or
labels (8-label sheets) to Card Photo Printer CP-10 (sold separately) when connected
to the computer by interface cable PIF-100 (sold separately).
10
• Merging Panoramic Images
PhotoStitch
This program takes images shot over several frames in the camera’s Stitch Assist
mode, automatically arranges them in order and stitches them together in one simple
procedure. You can shoot and stitch 360º scenes together and save them in the
QuickTime VR format to make them appear to surround you as you view them.
• Computer-Controlled Camera Shooting
RemoteCapture
This program allows your camera’s shutter to be controlled by the computer when
the two are connected. The recorded images are loaded directly into the computer.
Depending on your camera model,
the screen may slightly differ.
11
ArcSoft Camera Suite CD-ROM*
• Editing and Applying Special Effects to Images
ArcSoft PhotoImpression
This program makes it easy to convert camera images to sepia colors, apply other
special effects to images, edit them and create greeting cards and calendars.
• Programs for Editing Stills and Movies
ArcSoft VideoImpression
This program provides simple procedures for compiling a movie from multiple movies
or stills and for editing out unwanted frames from movies.
Adobe Photoshop LE CD-ROM*
• Editing and Applying Special Effects to Images
Adobe Photoshop LE
This program allows you to edit and apply various special effects to images, such as
changing color to sepia tones, as well as to print images. You can also prepare images
as Web graphics.
* The model of camera you purchased will determine whether or not an
image editing program was supplied with your product as well as the
specific program included in the software bundle. Please refer to the
System Map supplied with your camera for this information.
12
Camera and Software Compatibility
The Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk contains a number of software programs
and drivers. Check the chart below for the compatibility of your particular camera
model with each program’s special functions.
(1) Since ArcSoft PhotoImpression and ArcSoft VideoImpression are not plug-in
compatible, the Plug-in Module cannot be started and used to download images.
(2) Images shot with the Wide Converter, Tele-converter or Close-up lens do not merge
well in PhotoStitch.
(3) The camera’s shutter button can also be used to shoot.

Selecting a Downloading Method
The downloading method you choose will depend upon the operating system (OS)
on your computer. Read the appropriate page referenced below after checking your
computer system.
Windows Users
Do not connect the camera to a Windows computer at this point. The USB
Driver must be installed before the camera is connected to the computer
via the USB interface. The USB Driver can be installed very easily, so please
wait until the driver is installed before connecting the camera.
You should use a household power source to power the camera when it
is connected to the computer.

Connecting to a USB Port
Connection Precautions
Connect the camera directly to a USB port on the computer; not through a hub.
The connection may not operate correctly through a hub.
The connection may not operate correctly if you are using other USB devices,
excluding USB mice or keyboards, at the same time. If this occurs, disconnect
the other devices from the computer and try reconnecting the camera.
Do not connect two or more cameras to the same computer via the USB
interface. The connections may not operate correctly.
Never allow the computer to go into standby (sleep) mode while a
camera is connected via the USB interface. If it does happen, never
disconnect the USB 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 standby mode. Please refer to
your computer manual for instructions regarding its standby mode.
1.
Install the software (first-time connection only)
Windows users see p. 22.
