saving files recorded with your digital disk camera
1 saving files to a computer
requires: computer connecting cable and sanyo software pack (supplied), commercially available personal computer.
advantages: the images are saved as data on the computer hard disk. they can then be processed or edited, sent over a network or the internet, etc. for a wide range of applications.
for more information, see the instruction manual for the supplied sanyo software pack.
2 print out in high quality with a digital print service
the media used to store data recorded by your digital disk camera is the id photo disk. at the time of this print, most digital print services do not accept data on id photo disks, so you will need to copy the data onto another form of media. you can then take your image data to digital print service centers for high-quality print outs of your captured images. (consult the service for more information.)
advantages: you can receive high-quality printouts of the images you capture.
caution: to print out a single shot from a sequential shot or a single scene from a video clip, you may need to first copy the data as a still image (see page 153). be aware that if the image resolution is low, depending on the print size, the output image may not be high quality.
data file formats
the format of the files saved on the disk and the method in which the file names are determined are explained below.
still image files
data format: jpeg or non-compressed ycbcr tiff format (conforming to exif ver. 2.1) (see page 85)
file name structure: file name starts with sany and will have the file extension jpg or tif.
ex.: sanyoooo.jpg or sanyoooo.tif
the "oooo" represents a sequential number assigned automatically.
voice memo data
data format: wave format
file name structure: same file name as the still image to which it is attached with the file extension wav.
ex.: sanyoooo.wav
sequential shots data
data format: jpeg format
file name structure: file name starts with seqt and will have the file extension jpg.
ex.: seqtxxyy.jpg
the "xx" represents the sequential shot folder number. the "yy" represents a sequential number assigned automatically.
video clips data
data format: quicktime movie format
file name structure: file name starts with vclp and will have the file extension mov.
ex.: vclpoooo.mov
the “oooo” represents a sequential number assigned automatically.
audio recording/shutter sound data
data format: wave format
file name structure: file name starts with sund and will have the file extension wav.
ex.: sundoooo.wav
the “oooo” represents a sequential number assigned automatically.
configuration of folders for the stored data
help
do not modify the folders and file names in the disk using your computer
your digital disk camera stores and accesses data according to the rules given in the configuration shown above. if the folders, file names, or their configuration is modified by accessing the disk in some manner with your computer, your digital disk camera may not be able to playback data and may not operate properly.
concerning the video clip data saved by the digital disk camera
1 you can use quicktime ver. 3.0 or greater from apple to playback the video clips. quicktime 4.1 pro for windows and macintosh is supplied with the sanyo software pack (supplied).
2 to view images using mediaplayer on a computer running windows, use the software included in the sanyo software pack (supplied) to change the images to the windows-compatible avi format.
erasing data
with your digital disk camera, if you ever make a mistake when capturing an image, filming a video clip, or recording an audio recording, or if it does not turn out as you want, or if you simply no longer need it, you can erase it. there are three methods of erasing data.
1 erasing a folder and all of its contents.
2 erasing a group of files (for sequential shots, this will erase the folder for one complete sequential shot).
3 erasing files one at a time.
with still images that have a voice memo attached, you can erase only the voice memo or erase the image and voice memo together.
preparation
1 set the camera/play switch to "play."
2 turn the mode selector dial to the playback mode of the type of file to be erased.
