7. HOW TO ENJOY THE Xacti Library
FEATURE
The Xacti Library feature is a system that allows you to save the files stored in
your camera’s card to a large-capacity hard disk—all without using a
computer.
Copying files between the camera and hard disk
made easy
You can copy files recorded with your camera to a hard disk, as well as
transfer files from the hard disk to your camera’s card.
3 English

8. Reproduce the high quality of captured images
Because the files from your hard disk can be output directly to your TV, you
can enjoy watching video clips without losing any of the recorded high
definition. You can also play back the files from the camera’s card.
English 4

9. HOW TO ENJOY THE Xacti Library FEATURE
Use the album feature to organize your files
Organizing your files into albums is a snap. It’s easy to find the files you’re
looking for to include in the album, because you select them from “rolls” you
copied to the hard disk.

HINT
i The original meaning of “roll” comes from conventional cameras, in which
rolls of film are used. In a digital camera, however, recorded files are stored
on a card (or the internal memory), and so one card (or one internal
memory) is said to comprise a virtual “roll”. For example, when copying
files by rolls, all the files from the camera are copied to the hard disk at one
time.
5 English

10. SETUP
ASSEMBLE THE DEVICES
You will need the following devices in order to use the Xacti Library.
Camera

A USB 1.x compatible hard disk cannot be used.
i Powered by self power
A hard disk that is powered through the USB cable (bus power) cannot be
used.
i Please back up your files!
As a precaution against losing data in case of a problem with your hard
disk that prevents you from accessing your saved files, it’s a good practice
to regularly make backup copies, on a DVD for example, of the files in the
hard disk you are using for the Xacti Library.
Sanyo Electric shall not be held responsible for loss of files/data due to
failure of your hard disk.
i Hard disks initialized in the FAT32 format only
Only a hard disk that has been initialized in the FAT32 format can be used
with the Xacti Library. Hard disks initialized in other formats cannot be
used.
i For a disk with multiple partitions
It is recommended that an unpartitioned disk be used. In case of a
partitioned disk, only the higher priority partition can be used. Other disk
partitions cannot be used. For example, in a hard disk having D: and E:
partitions, only the “D:” partition can be used for the Xacti Library.
