Appendices

The following is a list of file formats supported by ZoomBrowser EX.

Readable files

ZoomBrowser EX can read the following file formats.

■ JPEG files (.JPG)

Most cameras use this file format. It compresses at very high

ratios, taking advantage of the characteristics of the human

eye. However, because it is an irreversible compression method

(part of the data is lost during compression), if you process and

save an image repeatedly using this method, the image may

become rougher.

■ RAW files (.CRW)

This format is a proprietary file format provided by Canon. It

saves the output of the image pixels from a digital camera

without any deterioration in the quality of the image. Some

cameras might not support this file format.

■ Windows bitmap files (.BMP)

This format comes standard with Windows. Most Windows

programs support it.

■ TIFF files (.TIF)

This is a relatively popular format. It is widely supported by non-

Windows programs (such as Macintosh).

■ PhotoCD files (.PCD)

This is the format used by Photo CDs.

■ Video clip files (.AVI)

This is the standard Windows video file format. The

ZoomBrowser EX Browsing Area will display a thumbnail image

and the video camera symbol.

When you click the thumbnail or movie icon, QuickTime Player

starts and plays the video clip. (You must install QuickTime

Player before you can use it.)

■ QuickTime files (.MOV)

This is a movie file format. The file appears as a movie mark in

the Browsing Area of ZoomBrowser EX. When you click the

movie mark, QuickTime Player starts and plays the movie. (You

must install QuickTime Player before you can use it.)
