Kodak x Barbie Printomatic Instant Print Camera, Case, Photo Album, Paper 20 Sheets Iconic Style

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Kodak x Barbie Printomatic Instant Print Camera, Case, Photo Album, Paper (20 Sheets) Iconic Style. The Kodak x Barbie Printomatic is a fun, stylish camera, but it operates very differently from a standard digital camera or a smartphone. Here is exactly how it works regarding your two questions: 1. Does it work without paper? Yes. You can use the camera as a regular digital camera even if it is not loaded with ZINK paper, but there is a major requirement: you must have a microSD card installed. With an SD Card: The camera will save 5MP digital versions of every photo you take to the memory card. You can then put the card into your computer to view, share, or save them. Without an SD Card: If the camera has no paper and no memory card, it cannot "hold" photos. It may only store 2–3 images in its temporary "printing queue," but these will be lost once the camera is turned off. 2. Can you select which pictures to print? No. The Printomatic is designed for "instant gratification," meaning it prints every single picture you take automatically as long as paper is loaded. The "Point and Shoot" Reality: There is no screen on the back of the camera to preview your shots. When you press the shutter button, the camera immediately starts the printing process. Saving Paper: If you want to take pictures without printing them, you must remove the paper pack from the camera. It will then only save the digital file to your microSD card. You cannot "choose" to print those saved digital files later using the camera itself; you would need a separate photo printer for that.
