A Quick Introduction to
Digital Photography
With film cameras, the process was
simple; buy film, take pictures, leave
the film at the photo lab, and come back later for your
photos and negatives. Since you had negatives, you
could take them back later if you wanted reprints.
The digital process is simple too, and it gives you
complete control. Just follow the basic steps shown on
the right.
4
1. Review and Delete
After you finish taking your photos, review
them on your digital camera’s screen.
Delete the photos you don’t want.
2. Print
As you view the photos with your
family and friends, click the remote
control to choose photos and print.
3. Save
To preserve your digital photo files (just like film
negatives), save them in PictureMate (or on a thumb
drive or your computer) after you print. Then you can
reprint them any time.
4. Clear the Memory Card
After you save your photos, use your camera to delete
them from your card to make room for more photos.
Special Features
Printing with your PictureMate becomes even easier
with these special features:
From PictureMate’s screen, you can

camera. When you insert the card
into PictureMate, you just have to
select Yes and press OK.

Storing and Displaying Your
PictureMate Photos
Photos printed on PictureMate photo paper are
beautiful and long-lasting. Follow these guidelines to
make sure they will look great for generations.
Caring for Your Photos
●To avoid scratches or smudging, do not rub the
printed side of the photo.
●To prevent smudging, avoid stacking your photos
until they are completely dry.
●Let photos sit for 24 hours before framing.
●After you print, the colors on your photos will take
some time to set as the ink dries. During this time,
the colors may look different than you expect.
Displaying Your Photos
●To ensure photos will last as long as possible,
display them under glass or in photo albums.
●Keep photos out of the sun to help prevent fading.
Storing Unused Paper
Return unused paper to the original package. Store
paper flat to prevent curling, and keep it away from
extreme temperatures, high humidity, and bright light.
