Printing Images on a Color Printer
If you have a suitable printer, you can install Nikon View 4 and print images
directly from the camera or memory card, or follow the steps in “Connections”
(
179) to transfer selected images to your computer and print copies from
your favorite imaging application. To print images directly, connect the cam-
era to your computer or, if your computer does not have a USB interface, in-
sert the camera memory card in a card reader or PC card slot (for details, see
“Connections”;
179). Nikon View 4 will start automatically and the Image
Transfer window will be displayed. Click the Thumbnail List button to view the
images on the memory card as small thumbnail previews. Use the mouse to
select the images you want to print, then click the Print button to print the
images. For more information, see the Nikon View 4 Reference Manual.
Image Database Software
Once you have transferred large numbers of photos to your computer, you may
have trouble finding the pictures you want to print or send by e-mail. The im-
age database software included with your camera can make it easier for you
to find the photo you want by organizing pictures into categories. Image da-
tabase software can also be used to preview the pictures stored in your com-
puter and to open them in your favorite imaging application. For details, see
the documentation provided with the image database software.
Depending on where you purchased your camera, the COOLPIX5000 comes
with Canto Cumulus, iView Media Pro, or FotoStation Easy. The documenta-
tion on the Nikon View 4 reference CD included with your camera provides
instructions for installing these applications (
180). If you will be using Cu-
mulus or iView Media Pro, remember to install the image database software
before installing Nikon View 4. If you will be using FotoStation Easy, install
Nikon View 4 first, and then install FotoStation Easy.
