Hyper-Utility2 is a software application that enables you to save still

Camera Control - Clicking on the camera icon in the lower right corner will launch the
camera cotrol panel if the S20 Pro is connected via the FireWire IEEE 1394
port. From here you can control all aspects of camera operation from
the keyboard. Images will be captured, transfered to the computer and
then appear in the editing window.
RAW File ConversionFujifilm supplies several utility programs for working with the raw RAF files created by the S20 Pro. The RAW Converter EX is a full-featured application that lets you manipulate the raw data before saving it as a TIFF or JPEG (more on this below.) You can quickly convert a raw file to TIFF using RAW Converter LE. You can extract the 1280x960 JPEG preview image from the raw file or you can convert the 13MB raw file into a space-saving compressed 9MB format with the RAW FILE COMPRESSOR.
