ALBUM

ALBUM, a portable digital photogallery, sets the new
standard for viewing all of your digital photographs
anytime, anywhere.

The cutting-edge postcard size display with resolution
of 130 DPI presents images in uncompromised size
and quality. More than 20,000 photographs can be
downloaded directly from digital cameras, SD memory
cards, USB flash drives, other ALBUMs or through a
computer. The size of a slim personal diary, the weight
of a fresh apple and a genuine leather protective case
mean true portability.

PROTECTIVE COVER

LANGUAGE SETTING

ALBUM is switched on with the switch on the left-hand
side (slide the switch up). The switched-on status of the
ALBUM is indicated by the green light on the left-hand side
of the ALBUM. When switched on, ALBUM loads the data
(indicated by the “ALBUM logo” on the screen) and then the
start screen containing the thumbnails of photographs stored
in ALBUM is displayed.

ALBUM is switched off using the on/off switch (slide the
switch down). You can switch it off anytime.

The start screen displays thumbnails of the photographs stored in
ALBUM or a connected external memory device. The horizontal
row of five thumbnails represents:

•

GALLERY 1, 2... 1000 - a directory of photographs loaded into

ALBUM in the same time

•

GALLERY - root directory of ALBUM stores photographs that
are copied to ALBUM individually from an external memory
device (COPY PHOTO command)

•

FAVORITES - a directory in the centre of the ALBUM start screen
(marked with a red frame), to which one can copy individually
chosen popular photographs from other directories or from
connected external memory devices

•

FOLDER - any folder directory stored in a connected external
memory device that contains JPG image(s)
ALBUM automatically creates a new directory each time it
downloads photographs from a digital camera or other external
memory device. Each directory displays its name and the number
of photographs it contains (e.g. GALLERY 1 - 99 PHOTOS).

The five thumbnails show the first photograph, the photograph of
the ¼, ½ and ¾ positions and the last photograph in the directory
(if a directory contains 100 photographs, the thumbnails show
photograph number 1, 25, 50, 75, and 100).

The factory setting includes demo photographs that can be used
to test the functions of ALBUM.

The factory setting of ALBUM is in English.
To set a different language:

• Switch ALBUM on, and when the start screen appears, press
and hold both arrow buttons.

• When the language settings appear, release the buttons.

• Use the arrow buttons to select a preferred language and
confirm by pressing the middle button.

This command helps to avoid downloading of photographs
already stored in ALBUM. This command is not available
when viewing the photographs from the internal memory of
ALBUM.

ENTIRE FOLDER

Copies an entire currently viewed directory to a connected
external device. If you are viewing a photograph from an external
device, the directory will be copied to ALBUM.

PHOTO

Copies the currently displayed photograph to the main directory
of a connected external device. If you are viewing a photograph
from an external device, it will be copied to the main directory
of ALBUM named “GALLERY”.

VIEWING PHOTOGRAPHS

• Use the arrow buttons on the start screen to select the
directory (a row of thumbnails), which you want to view.

• Open the directory using the middle button – the first
photograph in the directory fills the entire screen.

• Use arrow buttons to move between the photographs
in the directory.

• To return to the start screen, press the middle button twice
(the first press opens the control menu and the second one
confirms the pre-selected BACK to TOP option).

The arrow buttons are used to move
between individual directories (rows
of thumbnails), to move between
photographs inside directories (single
photographs), or to move in the menu.
The middle button is used to open the
directory of photographs, to enter the
menu, and to confirm the selection in
the menu.
