Capturing Images Displayed on the Projector
Storing images displayed on the projector on the CompactFlash card
Preparations:
Insert the CompactFlash card into the card slot.
Insert the CompactFlash card (side with the insertion direction ar-
row) facing the top of the projector.
* Press the eject button to eject the card.
1. Project the image you wish to store on the projector.
2. Select the “Capture” from the Tools menu.
3. A tool bar will appear.
The tool bar includes the following buttons:
Drag ............. Drags to move the tool bar (for USB mouse operation only).
Capture ........ Captures an image and save it as a JPEG file in a CompactFlash
card.
Freeze .......... Freezes and unfreezes images.
Exit............... Exits the Capture function. Another option to exit the Capture
function is to press MENU or CANCEL button on the remote
control or projector cabinet.
NOTE: You can compress a captured file (JPEG) using the Capture Options in
the Setup dialog. See page E-37.
NOTE: Captured images with higher resolution than the projector's native reso-
lution cannot be displayed correctly.
NOTE:
• File size of the captured image varies depending on the resolution of an
input signal.
• Since an image data is compressed with the JPEG format, the image is slightly
degraded.
NOTE: An hourglass indicating that an image is being captured appears on the
projector's display. Do not eject the CompactFlash card or turn off the projector's
power while this icon is displayed. Doing so will damage the CompactFlash
card data. If the CompactFlash card data is damaged, use a computer to repair
the data.
NOTE: The folder in the right bottom is always a folder exclusively for captured
images. To display the list of folders when there are 13 or more indexes stored
on the CompactFlash card, select "Edit index" from the PC Card Viewer software's
"File" menu and move the index you want to display to within 12 indexes from
the top of the folder index. For details on indexes, refer to the PC Card Viewer
software's help file.

Viewing Digital Images
Digital images can be played with the PC Card Viewer if the following
conditions are met:
• If the image can be stored on an MS-DOS format CompactFlash
card
• If the image can be stored in a format supported by the PC Card
Viewer.
With the PC Card Viewer, images on the card are searched for in
directories and images in JPEG or BMP format are recognized as
slides.
Searchable directories are directories within two steps from the root
directory, and searchable images are images within the first 12 files
in the directory. Only file and slide switching are possible.
NOTE: The maximum number of images recognized as slides within one direc-
tory is 128.
