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 nonWindows programs (such as Macintosh). ■ PhotoCD files (.PCD) This is the format used by Photo CDs. ■ Video clip files (.AVI) Standard Windows movie file format. The movie thumbnail and a movie icon show in ZoomBrowser EX's Browser Area. ■ QuickTime files (.MOV) This is a movie file format. The file appears as a movie mark in the Browsing Area of ZoomBrowser EX. 118 ZoomBrowser EX Software User Guide
