Owing to the
differences in function, Nikon View 5 can not coexist on the same computer with
Nikon View earlier versions: Nikon View version 3, Nikon View DX, and Nikon View
4.
Before deciding
whether to upgrade to Nikon View 5, be sure you understand the differences
between Nikon View 5 and earlier versions.
Like
Nikon View 4, Nikon View 5 can be used to transfer pictures to a computer. In
addition, it can be used to view or print pictures that have been saved to the
computer hard disk after transfer and display them in automated slideshows.
Although
Nikon View 5 can not be used to browse pictures on the memory card before
transfer, you can select pictures for transfer beforehand using the camera’s protect or transfer settings options. Nikon View 5 can not be used to resize
pictures during transfer.
Nikon
View 5: Principal Features
• Image transfer can be initiated with the camera transfer button,
if available.
• Pictures can be selected
for transfer using camera protect or transfer settings options
• Pictures can be renamed
and IPTC information added during transfer
• Once transferred, pictures can be viewed as a list of thumbnail images,
viewed at different zoom ratios, displayed in automated slideshows (when
displaying slideshows, QuickTime Player Ver. 5.0.2, available separately, is
required), and printed in a variety of different layouts
• The following commands can be used to navigate through folders when
thumbnail images are displayed: Folder tree, Back, Forward, Up
one level, Favorites, etc.
• Thumbnails can be displayed in a variety of sizes
Windows XP users should also be aware of additional information
posted on the View v5.1.1 download page.
