Exciting New
Features in the Canon Photo Channel
(version 2.7, 12.09.03)
Time Warner Cable and Canon are pleased to
announce some important new Canon Photo Channel features.
New PC Software:
REQUIRED UPDATE!
The Canon Photo Channel PC software (Photo TV Link) which allows
you to select and upload your photos to the Canon Photo Channel
has been upgraded to provide better security and performance.
| If you have installed the PC software prior
to 12.09.03, it is REQUIRED that you follow the instructions
below to remove the existing PC software and download and
install the new version. If you
do not remove the existing PC software and install the new
version, you will not be able to upload new photos to your
TV or to print from your TV. We recommend

right now, so you avoid any potential problems in the future. |

New Look for Album Covers
 With the new look for the TV photo albums,
you will be able to easily see the difference between photo albums
and photos within an album.
Photo e-mail blocking
One of the greatest benefits of the Canon Photo Channel is the
ability to have your friends and family email photos direct to you
TV. With the increase in spam , the Canon Photo Channel Team wants
to make sure that you receive only the photos that you want to receive.
That is why we have added the new Photo e-mail blocking feature.
If you should begin to receive photos from an objectionable sender,
you can now use the Block List function. Here’s how it works:
- The first time someone sends you a photo to your photo e-mail
address, your View Photos from Friends light will blink and your
Mailbox will show the message “New Photos Received”.
- When you select the mailbox, any photos from new senders will
appear with an envelope graphic.
- Selecting an envelope will give you the option of viewing the
photo, blocking the sender’s e-mail address, or blocking any e-mail
from the sender’s domain (the part of the e-mail address after
the “@” sign).

We value your feedback and welcome any comments or suggestions

Channel by sending an e-mail to photochannelfeedback@cda.canon.com.
