Coolwalker MSV-01
Portable Image Storage Device
Nikon
Coolwalker MSV-01; a 30GB portable image storage device for the
organisation of digital images.
The
Nikon Coolwalker is a stylish and powerful storage device that offers
an invaluable solution to the organisation of thousands of large
resolution image files of all formats produced by today’s
high-resolution digital cameras.
Featuring a large 2.5
inch TFT
monitor and easy to use Menu the Coolwalker guides you through the
process of efficient image management on the move, with practical
PC-less options to share and print work later.
Compatible
with
all major image file formats (JPEG, TIFF) as well as NEF (Nikon
Electronic Format) Raw files produced by Nikon Digital SLRs and certain
Coolpix digital cameras and a variety of popular storage media formats.
Transfer and organise your digital images
The Coolwalker has
30GB of storage capacity, translating to over 10.000 2MB* image files.
*E.g. a typical 6Mp camera JPEG Fine. Images are transferred quickly
via the Compact FlashTM 1 / II media slot to free up your camera media
card to continue shooting in the field. Optional adaptors are available
for SD, MMC, SM and MS media formats as well. Images are automatically
stored by date and folder creation is simple through the plain language
Menu interface displayed on the large TFT monitor.
Browse and Save
The
large 2.5 inch TFT monitor makes instant browsing of thumbnails in the
field easy and conserves camera battery power for shooting pictures,
rather than playing them back. Full image playback functions are
offered such as Rotate, Zoom, Histogram and EXIF shooting data
displayed. The large screen and Nikon’s ergonomic four-way Multi
selector style pad makes delete, move, copy, rename operations easy,
supported by a straightforward 5 language Menu: En, De, Fr, Es, Jp.
Share images
Once
your output is organised into an extensive mobile photo album, images
are easy to share with family, friends or colleagues without the need
of a PC. Just connect the Nikon Coolwalker to a TV or projector
(PAL/NTSC), using the included remote control and present your slide
show playback.
Print direct (PictBridgeTM
compatible)
It
also enables a PC-less solution for printing your images. Just plug the
Coolwalker in to any PictBridge™ compatible printer for PC-free
printing.
Long Life Battery
The Coolwalker can
operate for
up to two hours, due to the powerful rechargeable Lithium Polymer Nikon
EN-EL6 battery and charger/AC adaptor (included).
Freedom to move around
The
Nikon Coolwalker is a complete solution for anyone who enjoys digital
photography but risks getting lost in the organisation and archiving of
their work. Internal shock absorbers protect the hard disk in the field
and in the office, providing a safe secure location for your precious
digital image archive.
