Working with Albums

Photo albums allow easy identification and access to images for viewing, editing, printing, etc. Simply click on the Get Photo button on the Main Screen, and select Album to view the album options. It is important to remember that albums do not store images. When an album is created, thumbnails are generated and a reference to where the files are located is recorded in the album file. For example, if a thumbnail is added into an album from a floppy disk, that floppy disk must be in the floppy drive in order to view the file.

Album Tools:

Album Selector - Allows you to view your albums through a pull-down. You can select “[New]” to start a new, blank album. You can give the new album a name by typing over "New Album 1"(PC), or “Untitled” (Mac).

- Launches an Open dialog that allows you to browse your system to select files you’d like to add to the current album. You can add multiple files at one time by holding down Ctrl (PC) or Shift (Mac) while clicking on each file to be added. You can also add a range of files by holding down the Shift key while clicking on the first and last file (Windows only).

- Launches a Find dialog allows you to find image files in an album or on your system.

- Launches the Slide Show dialog with options that allow you to run a slide show of the images in the current album.

- Allows you to sort the thumbnails in your album by name, type, size, or date.

- Removes the selected thumbnail(s) from your album. You have the option of removing only the thumbnail or both the thumbnail and the image file. Removing the image file will delete it permanently from your system.

View Album – Creates a “virtual notebook” and flips through the images in an album.

Album Screen Saver (Windows only) – Allows you to create a slide show screen saver for your system.

The Argus Camera 300, a classic piece of photography equipment from the mid-20th century, is well-regarded for its user-friendly design and robust features. Released during a time when consumer photography was becoming increasingly popular, the Argus 300 was a significant model in the company’s history, appealing to both amateur photographers and seasoned enthusiasts.

It showcases a straightforward design that prioritizes ease of use, making it accessible for individuals who might not have extensive photographic experience. Its compact and lightweight body allows for easy portability, appealing to those looking to capture moments on-the-go.

The camera utilizes a fixed-focus lens, which, while lacking the versatility of interchangeable lenses, ensures that users can quickly snap pictures without needing to adjust settings. The lens features a moderate aperture, providing decent depth of field, which is beneficial for everyday photography. Its 50mm focal length is ideal for capturing portraits and landscapes alike.

A standout technology in the Argus Camera 300 is its built-in flash synchronization.

Furthermore, the Argus 300 is known for its durable construction. The camera body, made from sturdy materials, is designed to withstand the rigors of everyday use. This reliability has contributed to the camera's longevity and its status as a nostalgic item among collectors.

In terms of film compatibility, the Argus 300 typically uses 35mm film, a standard choice that enhances accessibility, as 35mm film is widely available even now. This aspect also allows photographers to easily find film and processing services.

Another key characteristic of the Argus Camera 300 is its viewfinder system, which offers a clear and uncomplicated interface for composing shots. The viewfinder allows users to frame their subjects accurately, aiding in the overall photography experience.

In summary, the Argus Camera 300 is characterized by its user-friendly design, fixed-focus lens, built-in flash capabilities, and durable construction.
