Distributing Photos by E-Mail and the Web
As the name indicates, digital cameras produce digital images. As digital data,
digital images can be readily transferred to a computer, where they can be
stored, viewed, sent to your acquaintances via e-mail, or saved to removable
media (for example, a floppy or Zip disk) for delivery to a photofinisher.
The key to transferring images to a computer is the Nikon View software
provided with your camera. This section describes how to take pictures for
electronic distribution and transfer them to your computer. More informa-
tion on using Nikon View can be found in “Reference: Connections” (

Taking Photos for E-Mail and the Web
Your camera stores pictures in JPEG format, which can be viewed using a
wide variety of computer applications, including web browsers such as
Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer and e-mail software such as Eudora
and Outlook. This makes them ideal for distribution by e-mail or the web.
Note, however, that pictures destined for electronic distribution should be
small, both in terms of their physical dimensions (so that they will fit in the
window of a web-browser or e-mail software) and in terms of the amount
of data they contain (so that they don’t take too long to upload or down-
load over an Internet connection).
We recommend that you adjust camera settings as follows when taking
photos for electronic distribution:
