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.
