Using the Flash
The digital camera has three different flash modes: Auto (the default mode);
Fill; and Off. Each of these modes can be accessed via the Flash button on
the backside of the camera.
■    Auto - the camera automatically fires the flash when the brightness of
   the subject or scene is too low.
■    Fill - fires the flash regardless of the brightness levels in the vicinity.
   However, the strength of the flash varies according to the ambient
   brightness of your surroundings, so the more light in the area, the lower
   level of the flash.
■    Off - the flash disengaged no matter what the ambient brightness of the
   surroundings is.
Using the Self-Timer
The Self-Timer is handy for creating a delay between the time you press
the shutter and the time the picture is taken. You can activate the self-timer
by pressing the Self/+ button at anytime in Recording mode. Once engaged,
each time you press the shutter release button on top of the camera there
is a 10 second delay; this delay is marked by flashing the Self-Timer LED
once per second for seven seconds, then twice per second for the last
three seconds.
Memory Full
Once you have taken the number of pictures allowed by the camera  you
must erase them before capturing new ones. To save pictures, transfer them
from the camera to your computer via the appropriate cable (PC or MAC)
and the COM port on your computer.
When your camera memory is full, the green memory light will flash every
one second. Also, the LCD screen displays a STORAGE FULL message.

1   Plug one end of the serial cable into the printer or modem port (on a
    Macintosh) or a COM port (on a PC). These ports are located at the
    back of your computer.

The  video output connector allows you transmit stored
images (640x480 in size) or live video to a standard
television set. When the LCD monitor is off, the camera
cannot output via this port. To transmit stored images to
your television or VCR, simply attach one end of a Video
line to the video port of the digital camera, and the other
end to the Video port on the television or VCR.

The Digital Interface
The digital camera is capable of two types of output: to video, or to a
personal computer. On the left side of the camera are three ports: video
ouput, digital output, and Power Supply.        
						

							Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To download images to your computer, you need to attach the digital cable
to the digital port below the video port, and the other end of the cable to
the back of your computer. Once both ends are properly attached, use the
software included with this camera to capture the queued images stored
within it to your computer’s hard disk, where you can later print them out or
edit them in imaging software.
The camera’s digital output connector can be set to transmit data at varying
baud rates, depending upon the capabilities of your computer. If the camera,
while attached to your computer, remains inactive for a given length of
time, it shuts down automatically.
Installing capture software
Once you have got your camera connected to your computer, the next
step is to transfer the pictures contained in the camera memory to your
computer’s hard disk. However, this cannot be accomplished until your first
install the appropriate capture drivers and software.
1   Insert the CD-ROM disc into your CD-ROM drive.
2  If you are in Windows95, select the Run command from the Start menu.
    When the Run dialog box opens, type E:\setup in the entry line and click
    OK, where E is the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive.
    If you are on a Macintosh, double-click the  installer icon.
3  The setup program begins - simply follow the on-screen instructions to
    complete the installation.
