• Viewing Images Downloaded to a Computer

- To view images shot in the JPEG format, a software program handling JPEG

files, such as Photoshop, is required.

- To view images shot in the RAW format, the supplied driver software is

required.

• Viewing Movies Downloaded to a Computer

- If you attempt to view a movie file (.AVI extension) by double-clicking it in the
