What is the Polaroid Direct Connect
adapter?
The Polaroid Direct Connect adapter lets you print
photographic-quality digital pictures from your digital
camera – without your computer. The adapter connects
your camera directly to your Polaroid ColorShot Photo
Printer so you can print self-developing, full-color pic-
tures any time, any place.
To print a digital picture from your camera, display the
picture on the camera's LCD panel and press the print
button on the Direct Connect adapter. The adapter also
has other modes for printing all pictures and printing
an index picture with several thumbnails (small pic-
tures) on one sheet of film. Additionally, you can add a
watermark (a graphic logo and text) to each picture.
