When connecting a Dock&Done-compatible digital camera, you do not need to attach any cables because the cradle of the digital camera is docked directly to the storage unit. Just set the digital camera on its cradle.

Automatic saving of image files

You can automatically store image files taken with a Dock&Done-compatible digital camera simply by setting the digital camera on the storage unit.

Automatic printing of image files

When a Dock&Done-compatible printer is connected, you can print the image files specified in the print order information with a single action.
