Digital Camera HELP needed

[Briguy]

I received a great Olympus 3 megapixel digital camera for Christmas. It took a little while to get it all figure out but now I've mastered it. My question. The camera came with Camedia software. I loaded it on my computer and transfered the pictures to my computer. They told me if I wanted to email the pictures, I had to upgrade to Camedia Pro software for $20 bucks. I did. I composed an email and attached a photo as a test. Then I come to find out the software cannot support the AOL email system. So here I am with all these SeaCraft pictures that I cannot email to the sight. What the heck can I do? Is other software available to use with my camera? Please help if you can.

Briguy - that software is OK if you want to just e-mail from the camera but for AOL (they really don't do standards well) you may need to download it to your hard drive, edit the software with some editing program (you may already have one) from free to really expensive and then manually e-mail it like you would any other attachment. Did your computer come with Microsoft Office? If so what version? If not, what other software did it come with?

Capt Brian.....cant wait to see the BOAT !!!!

Personally I would do as JohnR suggests....resize the pictures using some kind of software (I use the Camedia software) then attach them to an email separately (I’m not familiar with the in’s and out’s of AOL).....

As I'm sure your aware you cant attach pictures to this site directly....Trayder has to do that .... Or JohnR can put them up on his site that he hosts.....Third option is to get an account at www.fishingworks.com or www.Imagestation.com (they are both free) upload pictures there and then link them to the site...just like this





These were taken with an Olympus 3.3 mp camera (one with a U/W housing of course [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ) and resized using the Camedia software and attached using Imagestation (only bad thing is that these sites will resize your image to a standard size as seen above)

Once you get the hang of it …it’s a great way to share pictures….I’m very pleased with the camera

John R,

Check out www.digideep.com once on the site, go to the list of underwater housing manufacturers and select the brand of camera that you have (not EWA-Marine!!). The Ewa bags work but the rigid housings are more durable and take UV abuse better.

Most of these new housings for the consumer digital cameras are really cheap compared to what the 35mm housings run.

Once you have found the exact housing you want, see if B&H in NYC has a better price or not.

Good luck/
