Presenting from a Memory 
Card, Digital Camera, or 
External Drive
The projector’s EasyMP feature lets you give presentations from a 
memory card or a digital camera connected to the projector with a 
USB cable. You can play movies, display graphics, or play a scenario, a 
format that lets you create your own slideshow using PowerPoint files, 
JPG image files, and BMP graphics files. 
This chapter covers the following:
■Inserting the memory card in the projector and removing it 
■Creating a slideshow on the fly 
■Presenting image files from a digital camera 
■Presenting image files from an external drive 
■Creating a scenario 
■Transferring your scenario to a memory card 
■Presenting scenarios 
■Supported file formats 
note
To create a scenario, you 
need a memory card and a 
card reader on your 
computer. Also make sure 
you’ve installed the EMP 
SlideMaker software 
(available for Windows 
only), as described on 
page 171.
Depending on the type of 
card you have, you may also 
need an adapter to use it 
with the projector. See 
page 101.

Presenting Image Files From a Digital 
Camera
This section explains how to project individual image files on your 
digital camera using EasyMP CardPlayer and a USB cable connection. 
Before you begin, make sure there is no memory card in the 
projector’s card slot. You cannot have the camera connected while a 
memory card is inserted; neither the camera nor the card will function 
with EasyMP CardPlayer.
Follow these steps:
1. Connect your digital camera (see page 46).
2. Turn on your digital camera.
3. Turn on the projector and the remote control, if they’re not 
already on.
note
Most digital cameras also 
have the ability to play 
internal slideshows. 
Depending on the kind of 
cable you have, you can 
connect a camera with a 
video or A/V out port to the 
projector’s 
Video or 
S-Video port and transmit 
your camera’s slideshow 
directly to the projector. You 
must press the 
Video or 
S-Video button on the 
remote control to select the 
correct signal source. See 
pages 42 or 43 for details. 
						

							90Presenting from a Memory Card, Digital Camera, or External Drive4. Select EasyMP as the source by pressing the 
EasyMP button on 
the remote control. If your camera complies with the DCIM 
standard, you’ll see a 
DCIM folder appear on the EasyMP 
CardPlayer screen.
5. Use the  pointer button on the remote control to position the 
cursor on the folder and press 
Enter. 
6. Select 
Open Folder in the drop-down menu. When the folder 
opens, you see another folder with your manufacturer’s name.
7. Position the cursor on the folder and press 
Enter. 
8. Select 
Open Folder. You see your image files when the folder 
opens.
9. Position the cursor on the image file you want to project and press 
Enter. 
10. Select

want, you can press a side of the  pointer button to rotate the 
image while you’re viewing it.
To end the slideshow, press the 
Esc button on the remote control, 
then select 
Exit and press Enter.
Presenting Image Files From an 
External Drive
This section explains how to project individual image or movie files 
from an external hard drive or flash memory drive using EasyMP and 
a USB connection. 
Before you begin, make sure there is no memory card in the 
projector’s card slot. You cannot have a drive connected while a 
memory card is inserted; neither the drive nor the card will function 
with EasyMP.
Follow these steps:
1. Connect your external hard drive or flash memory drive (see 
page 46).
note
Make sure your camera 
shows up on your desktop as 
a drive letter. If it does, it is 
probably a USB mounted 
device and will work with 
the projector software. The 
EasyMP software does not 
support TWAIN-compliant 
digital cameras.
If your camera’s memory 
card is supported by the 
projector, you can insert it 
into the projector’s card slot 
and project your images (see 
“Creating a Slideshow on the 
Fly” on page 87). You can’t 
have your camera connected 
at the same time.
