Open “My computer” and double-click “PC card drive”.

Create a new folder in the PC card drive; name it according to the image type you intend to store:

Open the folder you just created, and create a new folder within it; name it according to the image type:

Open PictureGear 3.2 Lite, and choose the image you want to capture onto the Memory Stick from the INDEX screen (the selected image is surrounded by a green frame).

Select “Format Conversion” from the “File” menu.

The “Format Conversion” dialogue box is displayed.

Select Memory Stick from “Output Format”.

Click “Browse” and select the previously created folder (e.g., “Dcim/100msdcf” for still images) from the “Folder”, then click “OK”.

Select Save as another file, and click “OK”.

Copy the images you want to capture onto the Memory Stick to the previously created folder (e.g., “Mssony/Moml0001” for moving images).

Change the name of the Digital Mavica moving image files to Mov0XXXX.mpg.

Change the XXXX numbers of each file name so that each file has a different name. Images are played back in the order of file numbers (from small numbers to bigger numbers).

With PictureGear 3.2 Lite, if you try to capture images containing data which is over the capacity of the Memory Stick, the image size may be smaller or may not be captured at all. It is recommended to check the remaining Memory Stick capacity before attempting to capture images.

The unit plays back 640 × 480, 1024 × 768, 1280 × 960 and 1600 × 1200 size still images. When capturing images other than these sizes, the images may not be played back properly or loss of data may occur.
