CONCERNING IMAGE AND AUDIO DATA STORAGE
Saving the Images Captured with Your Digital Camera
œ
Saving the images to a computer
Requires:
Included CD-ROM (SANYO Software Pack) [page 130], 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.
œ
Printing on paper
The images captured with your digital camera can be printed using a commercially available
printer. This unit supports PRINT Image Matching feature. When shooting, print commands
are added to the picture data, and the printer prints the pictures in accordance with these
commands. If used in combination with a printer supporting PRINT Image Matching feature, it
is possible to print with optimal colors, as purported by the digital camera when taking the
pictures. For more information regarding the PRINT Image Matching feature and printing
method etc., please read the instruction manuals that were included with your printer and
personal computer.

PRINT Image Matching is a term for the print command that is embedded in header file of
the image created by digital camera. It contains color setting and image parameter
information.

Print out in high quality with a digital print service
