10. REVIEW PHOTOS OR VIDEOS

After you have setup, mounted and activated your CAMERA,

you will of course be eager to return later and review the images

it has captured for you. The camera stores photos and videos in

the folder \DCIM\100MEDIA in the SD card. Photos are saved

with file names like DSCF0001.JPG and videos like

DSCF0001.MP4. The MP4 video files can be played back on

most popular media players, such as Windows Media Player,

QuickTime, VLC etc.
There are several ways this can be done.
You can directly review the photos or videos on the camera

screen.
Or in the

SET

mode only, you can use the provided USB cable

to download the files to a computer.
Or you can put the SD card to an SD card "reader"

(not

included)

, plug in a computer, and browse the files on the

computer without downloading.
