Program Features
PictureGear Version 3.2 Lite (hereafter referred to simply as PictureGear) is a software
application that makes it easy to list, manage, and display image files stored in
“Memory Stick”-s or on a computer’s hard disk. In PictureGear, each displayed image
is called a slide.

operating system installed on the PC.
Languages that can be selected during installation are as follows.
Japanese / English / German / French / Italian / Spanish
If the language of your operating system is other than the above, select a language
from among the above. The default selection is English.*

List View and Zoom View
Slides within a selected folder are displayed in the List View. The List View can be
zoomed in and out between 12.5 and 800% using the Zoom Bar, so any slide can be
quickly selected.
As long as a slide is in an image format that can be handled by PictureGear, even if its
format differs from other slides, it appears in the same List View together with the
other slides. Slides in the List View can be displayed in order by date, name, etc.
Copy and Move Slides
Slides can be copied and moved by simple operations in the PictureGear window.
Zoom Display of a Slide
A slide selected in the List View can be displayed zoomed in a separate window
(Single-Image View). Slides displayed in Single-Image View can be magnified, reduced
and scrolled.
Print Slides
Slides can be printed, either singly or as multiple slides per page.
Play Movies in the Movie Playback Window
MPEG1 and AVI format movie files can be played in separate windows. A
corresponding still image appears in the List View.
Use with Video and Digital Still Cameras
By connecting a Sony video or digital still camera to the PC, photographic images can
be transferred between PictureGear and the camera.
