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 computer’s USB port. Download the
camera’s still images or movies by selecting the thumbnails (tiny images) shown on
the computer display.
TWAIN Driver (Windows)
This driver for Windows 98 and Windows 2000 loads camera images into TWAINcompliant programs, such as Adobe Photoshop LE, ArcSoft PhotoStudio, ArcSoft
PhotoImpression and ArcSoft VideoImpression.
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).
USB Mounter (Macintosh)
This program for Macintosh makes your camera appear on your computer as a card
reader so that you can download from the camera as if you were copying images
from a card reader.

backward in time as if you were moving through time.
• Converting RAW Format Image Files
File Viewer Utility
This program converts RAW images that have been downloaded to a computer into
standard image file formats, such as the TIFF (8 bit/channel or 16 bit/channel) and
JPEG formats. ZoomBrowser EX and ImageBrowser use this utility when you convert
RAW images from within them.
002-v11usSSGE_001-016_GM.p65

8/2/02, 6:47 PM
Windows / Macintosh
These programs display downloaded images in an index format and allow you to sort
and organize them by criteria such as the content or shooting date. ZoomBrowser EX
also allows you to display all the images within folders nestled within other folders as
thumbnails, providing an intuitive, easy-to-use interface for organizing your pictures.
8
• Creating Mail Attachments from Images
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 Uploading New Start-Up Images and Start-Up
Sounds to the Camera
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.

These programs can output your original photo cards with added text or designs
when you connect a Card Photo Printer CP-100 or Card Photo Printer CP-10 (both
sold separately) with interface cable PIF-100 (sold separately)* to the computer. They
can also print out adhesive labels (8-label sheets) with the same photo or different
photos on each label.

8/2/02, 6:47 PM
Windows / 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.
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.

Installing the TWAIN Driver/ WIA Driver
• Be very careful to follow the steps below in order to install the driver
software.
1. Install one of the following drivers from the Canon Digital Camera
Windows 98 / Windows 2000:
TWAIN Driver
Windows Me / Windows XP:
WIA Driver
- Copy the required files to your computer.
2. Connect the camera to the computer with the USB cable.
- Complete the steps required to install the driver and then close the installer.
• The installation procedures may vary between Windows versions.
WIA Driver Installation Precautions
• You can install the WIA Driver if you are using Windows Me or Windows XP. In
addition, you should read the “WIA Driver Limitations” below before installing
the driver.
WIA Driver Limitations
• When you have set the WIA Driver to start a particular application program when
you connect the camera, the program may cause an error message similar to the
following to appear: “TWAIN data source not found. Reinstall the scanner
software.” If this happens, select [WIA-camera model] in the application program
as the TWAIN device. Your camera model name will appear in place of the
“camera model” in the brackets above.
TWAIN Driver
• TWAIN Driver is the driver software for USB connections to Windows 98
and Windows 2000 only. It is the software required to load images into
TWAIN-compliant application programs, such as Adobe Photoshop LE,
ArcSoft PhotoStudio, ArcSoft PhotoImpression and ArcSoft
VideoImpression. Since it is not a stand-alone program, you must always
use it by starting it from within a TWAIN-compliant program.
WIA Driver
• WIA Driver is the driver software for USB connections to Windows Me
and Windows XP only. When you connect the camera to a computer with
a USB cable, the Scanners and Cameras Wizard will open automatically to
assist with downloading. This driver also allows you to use Windows
Explorer to display the camera’s thumbnail (tiny) images on the computer
and download images with standard file copying procedures.

See the Camera User Guide for connection instructions.
3. Is the camera’s [Communication] setting set to [Normal]?
See the Camera User Guide for instructions to set the communication setting.

About Image Rotation During Downloading
The camera has a feature that rotates images shot with the camera on end to the
correct orientation when it is replayed. When you download JPEG images that have
been rotated automatically (if the [Auto Rotate] function is set to [On]) or manually by
the camera, or that have been rotated in the Camera window, two images are saved
onto the computer, the pre-rotation image and the post-rotation image. (This setting
can be changed in the [Rotation] tab in ZoomBrowser EX’s main window’s
[Preference] option in the [Tool] menu.) RAW images, however, are only downloaded
with one image in the correct viewing orientation and the rotation information is
retained with the image.

Converting RAW Format Images
Please check whether or not your camera model supports this function (p. 12).
The RAW image file format records image data as captured by the camera’s image
sensor without further processing by the camera. Although the data is compressed
when recorded, the original data can be completely restored without any loss of
quality. Moreover, the RAW format is extremely compact, creating files approximately
one-quarter the size* of uncompressed files (RGB TIFF). However, RAW images
cannot be opened by standard image editing programs unless they are first
converted.
“Conversion” involves generating high-quality RGB signals from the RAW format
files. If you start File Viewer Utility from ZoomBrowser EX, you can adjust the
attributes of the original data before conversion to retain the degree of image quality
appropriate to your purposes. The result is high-quality images. In contrast, image
data recorded in the RGB TIFF and other standard uncompressed file formats is
irrevocably processed in the camera and again in the application program when you
change the file attributes, which reduces the image quality.
* As measured by standard Canon test conditions.
• Please see the Camera User Guide to learn how to shoot RAW images.
Converting RAW Images with File Viewer Utility

Adjusting Image Quality and Printing (Exif 2.2 Compliant)
ImageBrowser features functions that allow you to print images with image quality
adjustments. ImageBrowser also supports the Exif 2.2 standard (or Exif Print).
• Images shot with cameras complying with the Exif 2.2 standard
incorporate shooting settings information, such as the shooting
conditions and scene mode, along with the image data. The Exif Print
adjustment protocol uses this information to correct the image quality
more accurately to reflect the shooting settings.
• When printing from ImageBrowser, the image quality adjustment settings
are active for all images.

Converting RAW Format Images
Please check whether or not your camera model supports this function (p. 12).
The RAW image file format records image data as captured by the camera’s image
sensor without further processing by the camera. Although the data is compressed
when recorded, the original data can be completely restored without any loss of quality.
Moreover, the RAW format is extremely compact, creating files approximately onequarter the size* of uncompressed files (RGB TIFF). However, RAW images cannot be
opened by standard image editing programs unless they are first converted.
Conversion involves generating high-quality RGB signals from the RAW format files.
If you start File Viewer Utility from ImageBrowser, you can adjust the attributes of the
original data before conversion to retain the degree of image quality appropriate to
your purposes. The result is high-quality images. In contrast, image data recorded in
the RGB TIFF and other standard uncompressed file formats is irrevocably processed in
the camera and again by an application program when you change the file attributes,
which reduces the image quality.
* As measured by standard Canon test conditions.
• Please see the Camera User Guide to learn how to shoot RAW images.
Mac OS X
• File Viewer Utility cannot be installed onto Mac OS X. To install it, switch
to OS to 9.1-9.2 and restart the computer. Then double-click the CDROM icon, followed by the [Mac OS 8 / 9] folder and the [Canon Digital
Camera Installer] folders to install the program.
• File Viewer Utility runs in the Classic system environment. Accordingly,
when you select the [File] menu in ImageBrowser and select [RAW

then File Viewer Utility will start.

Downloading Images with the USB Mounter
(Compatible with Mac OS 9.0 - 9.2 only)
The USB Mounter is a driver that allows images on a CF card in a camera to be
displayed on the computer screen as if the camera were a drive or a connected card
reader. Images can be downloaded to the computer with the same procedures used
to copy images from a card reader.
• To enable the USB Mounter, the camera must be handled as if it were a
drive like a card reader. Consequently, the following cannot be
performed while the USB Mounter is running.
- ImageBrowser cannot be automatically started when the USB
connection is opened.
- You cannot use ImageBrowser to adjust camera settings.
- You cannot shoot with RemoteCapture.
- In addition, images cannot be deleted from the camera and the
computer images cannot be uploaded to the camera.
