Overview
Welcome to Nikon View Ver.3 for Macintosh (below, “Nikon
View”), browser software for the COOLPIX 990/950/800/700/
900 series (below, “[COOLPIX digital] camera(s)”). Nikon View
allows you to connect your camera to a Macintosh for quick
retrieval and browsing of the image files stored in your camera’s
memory card. Once Nikon View is installed on your Macintosh,
the camera can be used like any other drive, allowing free ac-
cess to image files in the camera’s memory card via standard
Mac OS file operations. Nikon View Browser is also provided,
making it possible to display the contents of the camera’s
memory card as thumbnail images. Once you have installed
Nikon View and mastered its simple operation, you’ll be able
to distribute your digital image files by disk or electronic mail,
or include them in your home page and other documents you
create for business or personal use.
Nikon View’s features include those listed below.
• camera drivers for the COOLPIX digital cameras, which
allow you to connect your camera to either the USB port
or the modem/printer port (SC-EM3 cable sold separately)
of your computer and access its memory card in much the
same way as you would an ordinary disk drive
• thumbnails viewed in Nikon View Browser can be copied to
disk or opened in other applications using drag-and-drop
operations
• image files in the camera’s memory card can be handled
using standard Mac OS file operations
• photographs can be opened in any application that supports
JPEG or TIFF for retouching or to be saved in another for-
mat, allowing you to use photographs as desktop pictures
or distribute them with electronic mail
• movie files can be played in any application that supports
Apple QuickTime movie format
• if you have a compact flash-memory card reader or a
PCMCIA card slot and card adapter, the camera’s compact
flash-memory cards can be browsed even when not inserted
in the camera

A new feature of Nikon View Ver.3 is its ability to support movie files
created with the COOLPIX 990 digital camera. As you read this Reference
Manual, keep in mind that most functions introduced apply to both still
image files and movie files. Where this is the case, “image file(s)” will be
used to refer to both types of files. Specific references to “still image(s)”
or “photograph(s)”, or “movie(s)” apply only to the file type mentioned.
