◆ XR (Extended Recording) movie pro-
cessing allows digital video with audio
to be captured and played back. The
length of the XR movie is only limited
by the memory card capacity and image
size. Two image sizes can be selected:
160 x 120 pixels and 320 x 240 pixels.
◆ For the more serious photographer, the
DiMAGE X20 features a 3 x 3 graphic
menu that provides easy and quick
access to the camera’s controls. Camera
settings are changed with a simple 5-way
controller on the back of the camera.
◆ Unique to the DiMAGE X20 is a
self-portrait mode. While holding the
camera at arm’s length, the use of the
specially curved mirror on the front of
the camera allows you to correctly
compose a picture of yourself and a
friend without having to hand the
camera off to a stranger.
◆ Uses SD or MMC (MultiMedia Cards) as
recording media.
◆ Powered by easy to find AA batteries --
both alkaline and rechargeable Ni-MH.
◆ Bundled DiMAGE Viewer software com-
plements the camera by allowing still
and movie images to be processed and
edited on a computer. A wide range of
image-processing controls is available,
plus a new movie enhancer plug-in for
editing and processing digital video.
Can also edit and process numerous
common image-file formats.

◆ 8MB SD Memory Card, NS-DG500 neck
strap, AVC-200 AV cable, USB-500 USB

DiMAGE Messenger 2.0
The ultimate program for communicat-
ing with images, text and audio com-
ments, DiMAGE Messenger 2.0 software
provides a new level of productivity for
business, technical, and professional
communication as well as personal
use. DiMAGE Messenger 2.0 lets you
automatically link written text, addi-
tional images, or an audio track to spe-
cific portions of digital images, share
the combination with others via e-mail or printed copy, and invite related
comments to be
added from the receiver – all in just a few, simple steps.
Communication Tool
◆ DiMAGE Messenger 2.0 lets you easily
attach questions, comments, or expla-
nations to an image. The comments
can be in the form of text, a supple-
mentary image, or an audio track. Up
to 256 text, image, or audio comments
can be added to an image. All com-
ments are in reference to the original
image. A single image can be used as
the main image or two images can be
combined and placed side by side.
◆ Comments, whether in the form of
text, a supplementary image, or an
audio file, can be linked to a specific
area of the main image using color
frames. The color frames are available
in four different options and the font
and font color can be changed for text
comments.
Share Images via Email
◆ Annotated images can be sent to oth-
ers via e-mail with DiMAGE Messenger
Reader attached—allowing the recipi-
ent to share all annotations. (Note: the
reader doesn’t allow additional com-
ments to be added or edited.)
◆ Messenger files can also be exported
in various file formats to facilitate the
distribution of information. Files can
be saved as a web page (HTML) and
.emf file formats allowing them to be
used applications, such as Word,
Excel, or PowerPoint.
Conveniences
◆ Search feature allows specific com-
ments to be quickly located via word,
date of entry, or user name.
◆ The software can conveniently auto-
matically resize image files to preserve
storage space and reduce email trans-
mission time.
◆ Color Matching system keeps the col-
ors of your images as consistent as
possible throughout the capturing, dis-
playing, and printing process. Color
matching also coordinates color repro-
duction between your monitor and
printer, so that printouts come out
looking the way you expect them.
Printing Capabilities
◆ Provides several unique printing
options. Files can be printed to show
the original image with the detailed
image sections arranged in up to three
columns and the corresponding text,
audio file or linked image beneath
each. The boxes drawn by the user to
identify the image sections are color-
coded. Or, you can print out the entire
image with just comments included.
Primary Applications
◆ Primary applications include real
estate, insurance adjustment and
investigation, medical imaging, law
enforcement, education & training
activities and web auctions.
