File Viewer Utility

Canon EOS 300D

The File Viewer Utility lets you view images, customize in-camera settings and convert raw files to TIFF or JPEG format. Before conversion you can apply digital exposure compensation and Kelvin white balance (2800° to 10000°K) to the raw image data. You can also quickly extract the embedded Medium size JPEG image from the raw file.


07/06/2004 update: Canon releases EOS Viewer Utility is a new software for EOS Digital SLR Cameras (10D, D30, D60, EOS 300D / Digital Rebel), that replaces the former 'FileViewer Utility'.
