Thanks, I posted the second thread just to try and get a reply to my query.

 

Mmmmm These movies are usually pretty low quality, but can still be fun. If it's not that important why worry? Try getting into Powerpoint or similar progs. You can set up a slide show full screen on your P.C. and set the interval between slide changes and even have fancy dissolves all accompanied by your favourite piece of Bach in your CD Rom. You are only limited by your imagination... Good luck with it.

 

is it possible that whatever file format/extention the images are saved on your pc is just associated with quicktime as their default open-app. that may be why you are seeing the quicktime icon.

with a dc3400 i would guess that you can capture short, low quality video. but i doubt it would capture it as quicktime video. more likely as an avi or mpeg of some sort.

My Nikon does in fact save these movies as Quicktime (Just checked). I find it strange there's no mention of movies in the manual.

Been thinking about your problem: Neither your manual or the fairly comprehensive specs I looked at mentions movies or Quicktime. Now: I get the impression that the Quicktime icon you are seeing is in the corner of the STILL images you've loaded onto your P.C.?

Pretty well all digital cameras come with dedicated software to enable you to 'interface' with the camera and most offer software that enables other features like manipulation and editing of your pics.I know that one of the packages Kodak uses is called 'Picture Easy' although you may have something else.

My guess is that this Quicktime feature is accessed via this separate software and that you will need to have a look at that. It will either have a separate manual or may have an online manual. My guess is that this software enables some sort of slide show feature using Quictkime to play back your UPLOADED
images.

Keep pluggin'

 

On the Mac QuickTime is the default file type for .jpg that have no resource (info about what app should go with them). When you double click on them they are displayed in QuickTime PictureViewer.

I guess from what others say your camera doesn't do movies. If it does you'll notice when you are recording them (well duh!).

My Sony can record short MPEG's and when they are displayed on my Mac they appear with a QuickTime icon.

You can see some at:

They are pretty good quality for online requirements.

 

Maybe they have something on the website

Kookaburra , and he wasn't that little. I'd say 10 to 12 inches tall but they act like they are 10 foot tall. He kicked three guys off that table (no sh!t).

 

LOL

Looks like he's a bird with ATTITUDE!
