Thanks to this, it is, for example, possible to send a SD
card with photographs of your children to your friends
in a way that the photographs are immediately displayed
after the insertion of the card in the Album. This
feature may also be used when distributing offers of
products, services, package tours, etc.
5.19 What about using the Album with a mobile phone?
If you have a mobile phone with a built-in digital camera,
it is, in most cases, possible to view or download the
photographs taken by the mobile directly with the use of
the Album. Proceed as follows:
• connect a switched-on mobile phone to a switched-on
Album using a USB cable,
• if the mobile phone displays a selection of USB
connection modes, choose Data Storage, or
Printing & Media (PTP protocol),
• the Album then offers the same dialogue as when
connecting a common digital camera. Thanks to this,
it is possible to view or download the photographs from
the mobile phone to the Album, or save the photographs
from the Album to the mobile phone.
If you cannot connect your mobile phone in the above-
mentioned way, there is a possibility to transfer the
photographs from the phone to eh Album by means of a
computer.
Note: Some mobile phones use SD cards to store photo-
graphs. In such a case, it is possible to transfer
photographs to the Album using the card. If the phone SD
card is of smaller dimensions, it can be connected
using a reduction piece which is either supplied with the
phone or can be bought as a separate accessory.
5.20 Is it possible to perform the compression of
photographs which were stored in the Album in high
resolution?
If there are photographs in the Album which were stored
in high resolution (from a computer, or by copying from
an external memory device), it is possible to perform the
compression using the CLEAN-UP function along with the
turned-on option of RESIZE PHOTOS while DOWNLOA-
DING. See the description of functions in the
ADVANCED SETTINGS section.
5.21 The Album does not display photographs immediate-
ly when switched on, why?
Upon the start, the Album needs some time to create the
internal map of photographs. While this is going on,
a white "ALBUM" logo appears on the screen. The time
necessary to create such a map gets longer depending
on how many photographs you store in the Album. If there
are about 20 thousand photographs in the Album, the
process of creating the map may take up to 30 seconds.
With some operations (e.g. disconnecting the computer,
disconnecting an external memory device, after down-
loading a new directory, etc.), the Album must update the
map. In such cases, the white "ALBUM" logo appears on
the screen similarly to the start-up of the Album. When
the internal map update is completed, the Album resumes
normal operation.
5.22 It is impossible to save other photographs in my
Album, why?
If the Album reports full memory and it is impossible to
save more photographs, try to perform the CLEAN-UP
process along with the turned-on option of RESIZE PHO-
TOS while DOWNLOADING, see the ADVANCED
SETTINGS menu. If there was other data than photo-
graphs in the Album, or if some of the saved photographs
were too large, this process will free the space for saving
new photographs.
5.23 The Album seems not working, why?
If you turn on a function which takes more time to com-
plete, it is not possible to initiate any other functions
during that time.
While processing a function, the Album indicates this
with a symbol of a clock (a red circle with a sector in the
left-hand bottom part of the screen). If a function selected
from the menu is in progress, its name is displayed in
the white field all the time it is active.
A function in progress cannot be interrupted using any
buttons. However, it is possible to cancel it by switching
off the Album (e.g. when you initiate a function by
mistake).
If the white "ALBUM" logo appears on the screen for
some time (similarly to the start-up of the Album), this
means that the Album is creating (updating) its internal
map of photographs – see 5.21.
