20. Viewing And Using Images

We'll skip the standard viewing functions, because the SP350 offers some very advanced ones, including the creation of albums and sophisticated slide shows with transition effects. The most original function, however, is its ability to process photos recorded in RAW format to create JPEG files with the adjustments of your choice. It's like having a darkroom built into your camera! You can also create compositions using your photos, including calendars, and make corrections to your shots and create new files, saving the originals. Some may find that these functions are unnecessary, but they can be very handy to have if you're not into working on your photos with a computer.

Power Supply And Connectivity

The handgrip on the right side of the 350 serves as a housing for two LR6/AA standard or rechargeable batteries. This solution has several advantages, because you'll be able to find the batteries your 350 needs anywhere. Naturally, intensive users will want to get one or two sets of NiMH rechargeable batteries and a good charger. The possible connections include a common port for USB and video/sound output, plus a connector for an external power supply.
