FlashPoint Expands New Market for In-Camera Software with the Introduction of Digita Presents and Digita File

SAN JOSE, Calif.--Dec. 20, 1999-- FlashPoint Technology Inc., creators of Digita(TM), the industry's only standardized software platform for digital imaging appliances, today announced two in-camera software applications - Digita Presents and Digita File. These applications extend and enhance the capabilities of Digita-enabled digital cameras. Digita Presents enables users to turn a camera into a portable image sharing and slide show presentation device. Digita File provides full management of all camera system files including images and Digita Scripts(TM), and adds basic operating system commands, including the ability to copy images, without the need for a PC. The in-camera software is available at www.flashpoint.com.

Digita Presents is a powerful tool for professionals on the go. The user can modify the presentation order of stored photos, choose among 10 transitions, and set options like image quality or resolution in the slide show, time allotted to each slide and, if desired, play a sound bite as each slide displays. Multiple slide shows can be saved for later playback, for different audiences, such as a short or a long version created from the same set of images.

Digita File makes sharing and managing pictures and camera system files easy, taking advantage of the Digita operating environment and requiring no host PC. Options available through Digita File include: formatting CompactFlash cards; renaming files; viewing details about the installed card; and reading stored picture information. It can also delete all image files while maintaining the system folders and files. Additionally, images can be sorted by date, category or group filters as determined by the user. Digita File is bundled with the new Kodak DC290 digital camera.

Digita Presents is available for Kodak DC290 camera, by download from FlashPoint for .95. The latest version of Digita File for the Kodak DC290 camera can be downloaded from www.flashpoint.com at no cost. Both programs require Digita version 1.0.3, with a minimum 8MB CompactFlash card and 2MB free.
