Using the Photo Channel
You can do any of the following things using the Photo Channel:
• View your photos as a slide show.
• Draw on your photos.
• Save your photos to the Wii System Memory in the console using the
Wii Message Board (see page 30).
• Send your pictures to anyone on your list of Wii Friends.
Inserting an SD or SDHC Card
Insert an SD Card into the SD Card Slot on the front of
the console (32 GB maximum size).
NOTE: You can also use miniSD Cards and microSD
Cards if you have an SD Card adapter, which can be
found at most retail stores that sell SD Cards. See
page 22 for more information on SD Cards.
Selecting Your Photo Source
1. Using the Wii Remote, select the Photo Channel on the Wii Menu. (More than one
remote can be used with the Photo Channel at one time.)
2. Select either Digital Camera/Cell Phone or View Wii Message Board photos
to view your photo album.
NOTE: Photos will appear on the Wii Message Board (see pages 32 and 36) only if
you have posted them there in a previous Photo Channel session.
Viewing Your Photos and Videos
This on-screen menu will disappear temporarily if you move the cursor off the screen
or stop moving the cursor for a moment.
• Your photos will appear on the TV screen in the order they were taken. If this data
is not available with the photo, the date that you update the photo in the Photo
Channel will be used.
• Videos will appear as the first frame from the file, with a film
icon in one corner.
• If the photo or video is in a format that is not supported by the
Photo Channel, it will appear as a question mark icon.
See page 22 for supported formats.
• If you have a large number of photos, or if they are very large in size,
it may take a moment to open them all.
• The Photo Channel can display a maximum of approximately 1,000 photos.
If your SD Card has more than 1,000 photos, remove the card from the Wii
console and remove or reorganize your photos in your camera, cell phone,
or computer.
