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

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
