only the ones you want, magnify, protect, run a slide show of all of the pictures

in your camera.

Set Up —in Setup mode, customize your camera functions.

Install the software that is included on the KODAK Picture Software CD, then:

Transfer—automatically transfer your pictures to your computer.

Share—e-mail your pictures to friends and family.

Print—print to your own home printer; make prints yourself at a KODAK

Picture Maker kiosk or take your Picture Card to your local photo retailer for

professional printing.
