TVwriter Lets You Put JPGs Back On Your Camera For Display

I've lost count of the number of emails or forum messages that I've gotten asking me if there was a program available that lets you put non-camera JPG images back into the camera for display purposes. The problem is that most digicams won't recognize a JPG unless it has a full Exif header and most graphic or viewing programs strip this header if the image has been altered. And images that didn't come from a digicam in the first place were never viewable on the camera. Check out David Taylor's TVwriter program for Windows.

TVwriter is for various Nikon Coolpix, Canon, Olympus and Sony Digital Cameras. Program to convert JPEGs after processing in Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop etc. for TV slideshow display from your Nikon Coolpix 950, 990, 995 or 5000 camera. Yes, what many people have said is impossible can now be done with the help of TVwriter. Take individual JPEG files or even a complete folder of JPEG files and using simple drag-and-drop convert them into a slideshow you can carry around in your pocket, and display on any NTSC or PAL compatible TV! Other digital cameras including the Canon S300, Olympus C-1 zoom, C-700, C3040 zoom, D-40 zoom and Sony DSC-P1 can read these images. The registered version of this program has technical support, more facilities, a higher quality output, and doesn't have the "demonstration" text at the picture edges.

You will need either a camera with a mass storage USB driver (appears as a removable drive under Windows/Mac) or a card reader to transfer the new TVwriter images back to your memory card. Most digicam download software only works one way, from camera to computer.
