Introduction to Photo Applications
Easy-PhotoPrint
Easy-PhotoPrint is a handy application program that allows you to make borderless (full page) prints
from the images you recorded with your digital camera. You can make prints easily, just by selecting
image data and paper size and type.
Easy-PhotoPrint also has simple editing functions such as trimming and rotation of images.
Easy-PhotoPrint supports Exif Print (Exif 2.2). The image captured with an Exif Print-compliant
digital camera can be optimized using data, such as camera settings (white balance, exposure time)
etc, stored at the same time of shooting, yielding extremely high-quality prints.
ZoomBrowser EX
ZoomBrowser EX is an application program that displays the images (stored in the memory card)
you recorded with your digital camera as thumbnails, allowing you to import the selected images
into your computer and view, manage, and edit them. ZoomBrowser EX also allows you to process
the image files already stored in the computer in the same manner.
The image data selected with ZoomBrowser EX can be edited using another application program in
a coordinated fashion.

5
PhotoRecord
PhotoRecord allows you to make photo-quality prints from the image data you selected with
ZoomBrowser EX. PhotoRecord can make an index print, print multiple images on a sheet of paper
with them laid out automatically, or print images on Canon perforated paper. With PhotoRecord, you
can add a frame, background, and/or letters to your photo. PhotoRecord also supports basic editing
functions such as trimming, rotation, color adjustment.
PhotoStitch
PhotoStitch allows you to make a panoramic photo from the images you recorded with your digital
camera. PhotoStitch can merge separate images into a panoramic image. With PhotoStitch, you
can make a panoramic photo of a grand view spreading out 360-degrees around you. A desired
number of images can be easily stitched vertically or horizontally, allowing you to take full advantage
of digital photo printing (for example, you can make unique posters with ease). The Wide mode is
useful when you want to create a wide panoramic photo of buildings and other straight-lined objects
with straight lines as natural as the original.

6
Printing with ZoomBrowser EX
ZoomBrowser EX enables you to import image data captured with digital cameras or scanners into
a computer and produce photo-quality printouts in a quick and easy fashion. Using ZoomBrowser
EX with a Canon BJ printer and a scanner or digital camera, you can enjoy superb-quality photo
prints.
Custom Layout Printing
(Artwork/Layout Album)
Printing a Photo Index
(Index Printing)
You can arrange images in a desired layout and
apply artwork including clipping, resizing, rotation,
text insertion, and ornamentation with photo
frames and background.
You can print a photo index that contains
thumbnails automatically arranged in a suitable
layout for the selected thumbnail size (large,
medium, or small).

7
Printing in a Specified Photo Size
(Fixed Photo Size Printing)
Printing in the Borderless Printing Mode
(Tiled Photo)
You can print images in the specified photo
size.
You can print images with no margins around each
image, so that a single image is printed borderless
along the paper edges and multiple images are
arranged like tiles with no space between them
(available with BJ printers that support the
borderless printing feature).

8
Printing on Canon Perforated Paper
You can easily make your images fit on a
sheet of Canon perforated paper such as
<FM-101> or <PC-101S>.

*Some features and paper sizes may not
be supported depending on the models of
printers.
