1. How to Import a Photo from a Sony Mavica Digital Camera Into a Word Document Using “Digital Imagery” for Proficiency 1.1
Example of an artifact for 1.1
2. The reason the Sony Mavica was chosen for this tutorial is because it is the easiest camera to use in a school setting.
This camera uses a “Floppy Disk” so it does not need a connection port (USB port) or cables to upload photos to a document.
This camera does not need specific digital camera software to upload pictures, only some type of desktop publishing software.
It can be used from computer to computer, since it only needs an “a” drive to load pictures.
It is teacher and student “friendly” in that it is easy to use.
3. Pre-requisite to Importing an Original Photo from a Digital Camera You need access to a Sony Mavica Digital Camera and a floppy disk.
4. To add a digital photo to a Microsoft Word document:
Step 1
Select the software to use from the Desktop by clicking on the “Start” button.
5. Just a side note: In this tutorial, whenever the instructions say “click” or “choose” it is referring to a LEFT mouse click. You will only use the right mouse button when the instructions specifically say “right-click.”
6. Step 2
Choose “Programs” on the pop up menu and then move the cursor over to “Microsoft Word.”
Click on “Microsoft Word.”
7. Step 3
“Save” and name this document and then we will move on to taking the photo.
To “Save,” click on the little icon that looks like a floppy disk.
The “Save As” window will pop up and you need to name your document.
Make sure the “Save in:” says “My Documents” so you know where to find it later.
Click on “Save.”
8. Lens Cover-must be removed to take photos
Camera Screen-to view the subject of your photo

Play/Camera Button-put on Camera to take a picture, put on Play to view the picture you took
Flash Button-push once and a orange light will show that the flash is on
Disk Slot-where you place the floppy disk Step 4 Getting to Know the Camera
9. Step 5 Putting in and taking out the disk from the camera.
Make sure you put the floppy disk into the camera with the top of the disk facing you. You can damage the camera if you put it in incorrectly.
To get the disk out, you push the “PUSH” button with your left thumb and “Disk Eject” with your right thumb.
10. Step 6 Getting the camera ready for taking a picture.
With the disk in, turn on the camera and remove the lens cap.
Turn on the flash button if your photo will be taken inside.
Make sure the “Play/Camera” button is on “Camera.”
Hold the camera in front of you with the screen away from your face so you can view the screen when taking the photo.
*Do not take photos with the camera tilted or you will need other software and skills to turn the photo right side up.
11. Step 7 Taking the Picture
Looking at the view screen, use the “W______T” for making the picture wide angle or closer in by pushing the button towards the “W” to get a wider angle or the “T” to get in closer.
Push the round button on top, keeping very steady, to take the picture. You will hear the camera recording.
When it stops, push the “Play/Camera” button to “Play” and look in the view screen to see your picture.
12. Step 8 Take the floppy disk out of the camera by pushing the “PUSH” button with your left thumb and using your right thumb to push the “Disk Eject” and the disk will pop out.
13. Step 9 Put the disk, with your digital photo on it, in your “3 ˝ Floppy Drive.”
Make sure the top of the disk is up.
Push it in gently until it clicks.
Open up your “Word” document by clicking on the “Minimized” document at the bottom of the computer screen on the taskbar.
14. Step 10
Click “Insert” on the menu bar, at the top of the document.
Move the “Pointer” to “Picture,” click once and then move the “Pointer” to “From File.”
Click once on “From File” and a new window will appear.
15. Step 11
This new window is called “Insert Picture.”
Check the “Look in” area and push the tiny arrow in the corner.
A menu will pop down, pick the “3 ˝ Floppy (A:)” option and a new window will appear.
16. Step 12
The “Look in” area should say “3 ˝ Floppy (A:).”
Since you only took one photo, it will say “Mvc-0001 JPEG Image.”
If you took more, each will be numbered in order. Remember the number of the photo you want to insert.
A picture display is available on later versions of “Office” that helps you find the photo you want to insert.
“Double Click” on the icon next to “Mvc-0001” (or the number of the photo you are choosing if it is different.)
17. Your picture is now in the Word document
Step 13
The cursor is at the end of the photo. Press the “Enter” key on the keyboard twice and type a description of the photo underneath.
Press the “Save” icon that looks like a floppy disk on the toolbar.
Press the “Print” icon for an artifact for 1.1, digital imagery.
18. Printing Better Photos Use Photo Quality Paper in your printer
Click on “Properties” when the “Print” screen pops up, pick “Photo Paper” on the printer “Setup” under “Page Type.”
“Best” will become the “Print Quality.”
Press “OK” on each window.
