I used my nokia n95 as my camera on holiday. I have just downloaded all the pics to my pc but I can only view the pics by clicking on one at a time I can't see them as a slideshow or as thumbnails when I click on properties it says type or file: file.

Is there a program I can use to convert then to a normal format like jpg?

Thanks,

Pete.

    AFAIK the N95 only stores pics in .JPG format - one of the complaints about it is that it has no RAW mode.

    So the problem is probably with the configuration of your PC. Are the files named with a .jpg extension (you may need to turn off the stupid "hide known file extension" option in Windows Explorer)? If not, add that extension and see if it helps. If the file name is right, perhaps your file type associations are incorrect.

    Windows Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, View, "Hide extensions for known file types" should not be ticked.

    Why ever would someone want RAW on a phone?!?
