E-MAILING A PICTURE

Using the OLYMPUS Master software (included), you can share your pictures with

others by using the built-in e-mail feature.

After installing OLYMPUS Master, open the program and click “

Browse

Images”. From the “Browse Images” window, select the picture(s) you want to

send and click the “

E-mail” tool button.

At this time, you can resize your pictures to make them more manageable for e-

mail. This helps you stay within the e-mail capacity limitations set by your e-mail

provider.

When finished, click the “

Launch Mailer” button at the bottom of the

window. Your default e-mail program will open, and the selected picture(s) will

automatically be attached to a new message.

PRINTING A PICTURE

Using the OLYMPUS Master software (included), you can make prints of your

pictures using your own photo printer.

After installing OLYMPUS Master, open the program and click the “Print Images”

icon on the main menu. You can create many different types of prints such as an

index print, photos, albums, or calendars. Simply select the image(s) and add

them to one of the many layouts within OLYMPUS Master. For detailed

instructions, please refer to the “Help” menu in the software.

You can also order prints online using the “Print Online” feature in OLYMPUS

Master.

Alternatively, you can print your pictures by connecting your PictBridge*-

compatible camera directly to a PictBridge*-compatible printer, such as the

Olympus P-10 Digital Photo Printer. This permits fast, easy printing without using

a computer.

* For detailed instructions on using PictBridge, please refer to your camera’s

Advanced Manual included in digital format on the CD-ROM.
