PictureMate ShowTM is your easy-to-use, personal

photo lab that’s also a digital photo frame. Just insert a

digital camera memory card and you’re ready to view

your pictures in a variety of entertaining slideshows or

print brilliant, long-lasting photos. Because

PictureMate®is light and portable, you can print

whenever and wherever you take pictures. Plus, your

PictureMate prints will be as brilliant and vibrant

generations from now as they are today.

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.

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.

Welcome!

Special Features

Printing with your PictureMate becomes even easier

with these special features:

From PictureMate’s screen, you can

view your photos and press the

Print button on the remote control

to print the ones you want. Or you

can select to print all photos.

edit and print your photos on the

spot. (See page 15.)

If your camera supports DPOF

(Digital Print Order Format), you can

select which photos to print while

the memory card is still in your

camera. When you insert the card

into PictureMate, you just have to

select Yes and press OK.

(See page 16.)

If you have a PictBridge®-enabled

camera, you can connect the camera to

PictureMate and control printing right

from your camera. (See page 26.)

mobile device or computer, you can

send photos wirelessly to PictureMate

for printing using the optional Bluetooth

Photo Print Adapter. (See page 28.)
