Acquiring images using Digital camera plug-ins
ACD Systems has developed plug-ins that allow ACDSee to communicate with
your digital camera. Using a plug-in, you can browse the images on your digital
camera, download the images to a folder on your hard disk drive, and take pictures
with your camera using ACDSee.
For a complete list of the supported digital cameras see Appendix 3.
If your camera does not appear in the list you may be able to download a camera
plug-in for it. See the ACD Systems Web site for a list of the available camera plug-
ins:
