Using One Touch to Better Pictures feature when printing at home. This feature is available only on systems running Mac OS X 10.3 or later.
Working with tagged pictures. Disconnecting the device while transferring or working with tagged pictures (for example, printing or emailing) may cause EasyShare software to freeze.

The Burn CD/DVD feature is qualified for use with Apple factory-installed CD-R, CD-RW, and SuperDrive model drives. Using other model drives may produce unexpected or undesirable results.
When using the Allow additional burns (multi-session) option, burn all CD/DVDs using the same drive.
The state of the drive tray (opened or closed) may not always be accurately represented in the Burn CD window. After inserting a CD or DVD, always wait for the drive to become ready before clicking Burn.
Deleting files. If you move files to the Trash when it is empty, the files may not immediately appear although they are in the Trash. This is a limitation of the Apple operating system.
