Starting Nikon View 4

Starting Nikon View 4

Once installation is complete, Nikon View 4 will start whenever your Nikon digital camera is turned on and connected to the computer, or when the camera memory card is inserted in a card slot or in a CompactFlash card reader connected to the computer. Note that for the program to start on insertion of a memory card, the memory card must be from one of the following cameras: COOLPIX995, 775, 900s, 900, 950, 700, 800, 990, 880, or a camera in the D1 series. The program will not start on insertion of memory cards from cameras other than those listed above. Note too that only one camera can be connected to the computer at a time.

If you would prefer that Nikon View 4 not start automatically, select Disable auto start in the Auto Start tab of the Preferences dialog (34).

Auto Start

Nikon View 4 will confirm that a camera is connected or a memory card inserted in a card reader or card slot and start automatically when:

• A supported camera is connected while on and with a memory card in place
• A supported camera with a memory card in place is connected and then turned on
• A memory card from a Nikon digital camera supported under Nikon View 4 is inserted in a CompactFlash card reader or card slot

Before connecting your camera to a computer (Windows only)

When the camera is first connected to a computer, the computer must "register" the camera. If you have been using a DI camera with NikonView DX or Nikon Capture, you will need to update the device drivers for the DI before you can use NikonView 4.

For more information about device registration or updating the device drivers for the D1, click here

Connecting the Camera to a Computer

Turn the camera on and connect it to the computer. For more information on connecting your camera and on the cables required, see the documentation provided with your camera.

DI/DIX/D1H (IEEE 1394/Firewire interface)

COOLPIX995/775 (USB interface)

Using a Card Slot

When inserted in a PC-card adapter (available separately), the camera memory card functions as a Type II PCMCIA ATA card, allowing images to be read from the card.

Inserting a Memory Card

After removing the memory card from the camera, insert it in the adapter as shown below.

Insert the adapter in a computer that supports ATA-RAM memory cards and is equipped with a PCMCIA Type II-compatible card slot.

For more information, see the documentation for your computer. Depending on your operating environment, it may be necessary to install drivers, register the card with the system, or adjust settings to configure the computer to read CompactFlash memory cards. For details, see the documentation provided with your computer or operating system.

Using a Card Reader

Images on the memory card can also be viewed using a card reader.

Inserting a Memory Card

After removing the memory card from the camera, insert it in the card reader and connect the reader to the computer. For information on connecting the card reader, see the documentation provided with the device.

Transferring Images Using the Image Transfer Window

This section describes how to use the Image Transfer window to transfer images to your computer from a memory card inserted in a camera, card reader, or card slot.

Step I—Choose a destination

In this step, you will choose the destination folder for the images that will be transferred from the memory card. Users who intend to transfer images to the default destination can proceed to Step 3 (unless you have selected a new default, the default destination is the Images folder in the folder to which you installed Nikon View 4). To change the destination, choose a new folder from the Transfer tab of the Preferences dialog (35).

Step 2—Choose an image database

If you will not be using image database software, proceed to Step 3.

Confirm that an image database application has been selected in the Database tab of the Preferences dialog (40).

SubFolders

When images are transferred to the computer, a sub folder is created within the selected folder and all images transferred to the sub folder. The sub folder is named according to the current date and time (YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS).

Image Database Applications

The following applications are supported under Nikon View 4:

Windows

Cumulus 5 (Canto Software): images registered in catalog
- FotoStation Easy (FotoWare): images can be found no matter where they are located on your hard disk
PC-Archive (Nikon): images registered in folder

Macintosh

Cumulus 5 (Canto Software): images registered in catalog
- FotoStation Easy (FotoWare): images can be found no matter where they are located on your hard disk
- iViewMediaPro (iView Multimedia): images registered in catalog

Uploading Images to Nikon FotoShare

If your computer is connected to the internet, and you choose FotoStation as your image database application, images that have been transferred to the computer can be uploaded to Fotoshare, Nikon's on-line photo album service. If you want to upload images to Fotoshare, click here after choosing FotoStation Easy as the image database application in Step 2. After reading Uploading Images to Nikon Fotoshare (pages 17B-20B) you will be linked back to page 19 of this manual.

FotoStation Easy

The FotoStation Easy 'Coolpix' folder is preset to browse to the default folder to where NikonView 4 transfers images. If you change the folder in NikonView 4 you may have to quit NikonView 4 and FotoStation and then relaunch both programs for FotoStation to find the new transfer destination folder.

Step 3—Choose the images to be transferred

In this step, you will choose the images to be transferred. This allows you to select only a specific type of image, for example protected images, for transfer. Click the Image transfer rule button in the Transfer Image window.

The dialog shown below will be displayed, where you can select the type of image to be transferred.

Check Save setting until next change is made to save the selected type as the default setting for subsequent sessions of Nikon View 4. If this box is not checked, the default setting will be Ignore mark and protect attribute, and all images will be transferred.

After selecting an image type, click OK to return to the Transfer Image window. The selected image type will be indicated by an icon in the text box below the Image transfer rule button.

Selection	Description	Icon
All Images (Ignore mark and protect attribute)	All images will be transferred. This is default setting at installation.	All images
Transfer Marked images only	Only marked images will be transferred.
Transfer Unmarked images only	Only unmarked images will be transferred.
Transfer images with Protect attribute	Only protected images will be transferred.
Transfer images without Protect attribute	Only unprotected images will be transferred.

Marked Images

Some cameras do not allow images to be marked for transfer. Note that the COOLPIX 995/775 does allow you to mark images for transfer. For more information, see the documentation provided with your camera.

Step 4—Choose an image size

Choose a size suited to the task at hand from the Transfer size menu.

If you choose At same size, image size will not change during transfer. At other settings, all images larger than the selected size will be converted to the new size during transfer. Images smaller than the selected size are transferred at their original size. All photo information apart from the "image size" field will be unaffected by the conversion. Converted images are saved using JPEG compression at a ratio equivalent to a camera setting of NORMAL.

The following options are available

Option	Description
At same size	Images will be saved at their original dimensions.
1024 × 768	Images will be converted to XGA (suitable for display on most computer monitors).
640 × 480	Images will be converted to VGA (suitable for Web distribution).
320 × 240	Images will be converted to QVGA size (suitable for distribution by e-mail).

Aspect Ratio

If the original image does not have an aspect ratio of 4:3 (note that photographs taken with the D1, D1x or D1H have an aspect ratio of 3:2 ), the vertical dimension will be adjusted to match the horizontal dimension without changing the original aspect ratio.

Step 5—Transfer the images

To transfer images of the selected type, click the "Transfer" button.

A progress indicator will be displayed while the images are being transferred. A thumbnail preview of the image currently being transferred will also be displayed. When multiple images are transferred, the Transferring... window will include a progress meter showing the number of images copied to disk and the number of images remaining.

No other operations can be performed while the Transferring... window is displayed.

Transferring Images

The original image remains on the memory card.

The Thumbnail list window includes a menu bar, toolbar, a folder tree area and camera settings section, and a thumbnail list area.

The majority of operations in the Thumbnail list window are performed using the menu bar and tool buttons. In the case of operations that can be performed by means both of menus and tool buttons, the explanation in this manual gives priority to the tool buttons.

Displaying the Image Transfer Window

In Nikon View 4 version 4.1.1, the Image Transfer window can be opened from the Thumbnail list window by selecting Display Small Transfer Window from the View menu.

Working with Images

This section describes the operations that can be performed on images.

Transferring Images to the Computer

In the thumbnail list area, select the image or images you wish to transfer. Copies of the images will be transferred to the computer when the "Transfer" button is clicked. Transfer does not affect the originals on the memory card inserted in the camera, card slot, or card reader.

A progress window will be displayed as described above under Step 5 of "Transferring Images Using the Image Transfer Window" (18). Depending on user settings, any rotations and size changes may apply when the images are transferred, and transferred images may be catalogued using the selected image database software.

Printing Images

In the thumbnail list area, select the image or images you wish to print. Click the "Print" button to print the images at their original size.

Saving Images

After selecting the image or images you wish to save from the thumbnail list, click the "Save copy" button. A dialog will appear where you can navigate to the volume (disk) and folder to which you wish to save copies of the images. The original image will remain on the memory card inserted in the camera, card slot, or card reader.

Select the folder to which you wish to save the copies and click OK. Copies of the selected images will be saved in the selected folder.

In the Macintosh version, select the desired folder and click Save.

The copies created by this operation are identical to the original images on the memory card, and do not reflect rotations or size changes made in the Thumbnail list window. Captions and keywords are not included, and the images will not be catalogued or registered in a database as they are saved. In the Macintosh version of Nikon View 4, a thumbnail icon will be created for display in the Finder.

Copying Images to Disk by Drag and Drop

Images can also be copied to disk by dragging and dropping the selected thumbnails onto the desktop or another folder.

Rotating Images

Select the image or images you want to rotate from the thumbnail list and click the “ 90^ CCW” or “ 90^ CW” button.

Any rotations will be reflected in the thumbnail images.

About This Chapter

This chapter describes the options available in the NikonView 4 Preferences dialog.

The Preferences Dialog

Adjusting Preferences

The Preferences dialog can be opened by clicking the "Preferences" button in the Transfer Images and Thumbnail List windows.

The Preferences dialog contains the following five tabs: Auto Start, Transfer, Database, File information and Viewer. Changes to settings take effect not as they are made, but only when the OK button at the bottom of the Preferences window is clicked. Clicking Cancel closes the Preferences dialog and returns settings to the values in effect when the dialog was opened.

The Auto start Tab

Start-up Options for Nikon View 4

The Auto start tab is where you specify the window that will open when Nikon View 4 starts automatically. You can also turn the auto start option on and off.

The Auto Start tab contains the following options:

Option	Description
Transfer tool (small window)	The Image Transfer Image window will open when Nikon View 4 starts automatically. This is the default option at installation.
Contact sheet view (large window)	The,Thumbsail List window will open when Nikon View 4 starts automatically.
Disable auto start	Nikon View 4 does not start automatically. To enable auto start after selecting this option, start Nikon View 4 manually and adjust settings in the Preferences dialog.

Specifying a Destination and File Names for Transferred Images

The Transfer tab is where you specify the destination and file names for images transferred to the computer. There are a few differences between Transfer tabs for the Windows and Macintosh versions of Nikon View 4.

Windows

Macintosh

Select Destination

This area of the Transfer tab is used to specify the destination folder for images transferred to the computer.

If the image database software selected in the Database tab uses a registration folder, rather than a catalogue or index to track images, the Change... button will be grayed out and unavailable. The default destination at installation is the Images folder in the folder to which Nikon View 4 has been installed. If the destination folder does not exist when the Preferences dialog is opened, the destination will automatically be changed to the Images folder and the following warning will be displayed.

File Naming

This area of the Transfer tab is where you specify how files will be named when transferred to the computer. You can opt to use either the file name assigned automatically by the camera when the image was taken (Keep original file name) or a name automatically generated by the computer as images are transferred to disk (Create new file name). If Create new file name is selected, you can specify how file names will be assigned using the options in the File name creation rule section.

File Name Creation Rules

File names created automatically by the computer consist of a prefix or suffix (optional), content, and file numbers assigned automatically in ascending order. An extension is assigned automatically according to the file type.

File names

File names generated by Nikon View 4 take the form shown below. File names may include either a prefix or a suffix, but not both (you can also opt to use neither a prefix nor a suffix). Note also that an underscore is added before the file number.

(prefix +) content + _ + file number + (suffix + ) extension

File name creation options

Prefix/Suffix

You can choose one of Use prefix, Use suffix, and Neither. If Use prefix or Use suffix is selected, you can enter a prefix or suffix of up to eight characters in the text box. The prefix is added to the beginning of the file name (before the content), the suffix at the end (before the extension).

Contents

You can select one of None, Use folder name, Use original file name, and Date and time of creation. If Use original file name is selected, the Sequential numbering option will be grayed out and unavailable.

Sequential numbering

You can enter a starting number of up to 999999 for sequential file numbering. The specified number will be assigned to the first file transferred to the computer after the setting is made, after which the file number will be incremented by one for each file transferred. File numbering will automatically return to zero after 999999 has been reached. File numbering also returns to zero whenever the Reset button is clicked.

Sample

The sample reflects the results of the selected file-naming options. The example below shows the sample that will be generated when NIKON is selected as the prefix and Date and time of creation chosen for the content.

Extensions

Depending on the file type, one of the following extensions will be assigned:

File type	Extension	File type	Extension
JPEG	.JPG	NEF (RAW data)	.NEF
TIFF	.TIF	Quick Time movie	.MOV

File-Naming Conventions

The maximum length for file names varies with the operating system. If the file name exceeds the limit for your operating system, characters will be trimmed from the right end of the prefix or suffix.

Windows

The following options are available only in the Windows version of Nikon View 4.

Save hidden image

If this box is checked (the default setting at installation), hidden images will be saved together with other images when files are transferred to the computer using the transfer window. If the box is not checked, hidden images will not be transferred to the computer when files are transferred to the computer using the Image Transfer window. The Save hidden image option has no effect on transfer and save operations performed in the Thumbsail List window; all images, including hidden images, selected in the Thumbsail list window will be transferred whether or not the Save hidden image box is checked.

Save hidden image

Display thumbnail during transfer

When this box is checked (the default setting at installation), a thumbnail preview of each of the images transferred will be displayed while the file is copied to the computer.

When the Register in image database box is checked, you can select an image database application by clicking the Change... button next to the Select image database software textbox.

Select image database software

If the selected image database application catalogs images in a file, you will be prompted to select the catalog file used. If it instead catalogs images in a folder, you will be prompted to select a registration folder. Be sure that the application selected is supported under Nikon View 4 (16).

Select catalog file

This option is available if the selected image database application creates a catalog file containing image information supplied by Nikon View 4 as the images are transferred to the computer (Cumulus 5.0 and iView MediaPro 1.0 are examples of this type of database application). To specify the file used to catalog transferred images, click the Change... button. To create a new catalog file containing no image data, click New....

Select registration folder

This option is available if the selected application creates an image database by copying images to a folder (PC-Archive is an example of this type of database application). To select the folder used, click the Change... button.

Registration Folders

If a registration folder is selected, the Select destination text box in the Transfer tab of the Preferences dialog will show the folder selected. The destination folder can not be changed from the Transfer tab.

The File Information Tab

Copy camera settings to caption

When this box is checked (the default setting at installation), photo information is included in the photo caption. Photo information will only be added to the database if this box is checked.

When Copy camera settings to Caption field is checked, photo information for still images is copied to the caption. The caption can be viewed in the file information or file properties windows of applications such as Photoshop (version 5.0 or later). Captions can also be viewed with image database software.

A caption is not created in the case of movie files.

Keywords

You can specify up to ten keywords of up to thirty-one characters in length to be included with the files transferred to the computer. Enter a keyword in the text box after checking the box to its left.

Keywords are added to the file information when the image is transferred, and are visible in the file information or file properties windows of applications such as Photoshop (version 5.0 or later). Keywords can also be viewed with image database software.

Keywords are not included with movie files.

Options for the Thumbnail List Window

Create large thumbnails from image data

When this box is checked, a large thumbnail preview will be generated when data for such a thumbnail does not exist in the original file. Note that this will increase the amount of time needed to display thumbnails. The default for this option is off.

When data for a large thumbnail exists in the original image file, standard size thumbnails will be generated from the large thumbnail, irrespective of the above setting.

Large Thumbsils

Large thumbnails for high-resolution thumbnail display are included in still images taken with the DIx, DIH, or COOLPIX995. Large thumbnails are not included in images taken with the DI or COOLPIX775.
