    Solution

      To change the size or type of a captured image (still image) and save it as a different file, use the [Export] function of the bundled software, ZoomBrowser EX. Using [Export Still Images] of the [Export] function, you can convert a JPEG image to a TIFF image, or reduce the size of an image.
      IMPORTANT
      • To perform these operations, ZoomBrowser EX must be installed from the supplied CD-ROM.
      • In this section, Windows 7 is used as an example. Depending on the version of Windows you are using, on-screen displays and operations may differ slightly.
      • To change the type of RAW images, please use Digital Photo Professional. For more information, refer to Converting RAW images with Digital Photo Professional Ver.3.10 (Windows).

      If the [ZoomBrowser EX] shortcut icon does not appear on the desktop, click [Start](), [All Programs], or click in the following order: [Programs], [Canon Utilities], [ZoomBrowser EX], and then select [ZoomBrowser EX] to start the application.
