5. Using the Viewer
Auto Play Mode
If the "Auto Play" option is selected in "Viewer Options" of the menu, any given slide will start to play automatically.
You can also specify Auto Play Interval between 5 and 300 sec- onds.
Switching to Slides Directly from Other Input Modes
With this function it is possible to switch directly to a slide when the picture of a VCR or computer is being projected.
Example: When conducting presentations using a combination of slides and moving pictures from a VCR, etc., it is possible to switch from a Viewer slide to the video picture then back to the Viewer slide simply by using the SELECT button.
NOTE: Even if you switch the current Viewer source to another source, the current slide is retained. When you return back to the Viewer, you will get the slide that has been retained.
The PC card editing operation cannot be performed from the pro- jector. Do so using the Dynamic Image Utility 2.0 software.

•If the image can be stored in a format supported by the Viewer. With the Viewer, images on the card are searched for in directories and images in JPEG or BMP format are recognized as slides. Searchable directo- ries are directories within two steps from the root directory, and search- able images are images within the first 12 files in the directory. Only file and slide switching are possible.
NOTE: The maximum number of images recognized as slides within one directory is 128.
Storing Images Displayed on the Projector on the PC card (Capture) [GT5000 only]
The Capture features allows you to capture an image from a source that is currently being displayed. The image is saved as JPEG in the PC card. When you select Capture from the menu, you will get a tool bar. You can capture an image directly using the tool bar when the menu is not displayed.
NOTE:
*Unless a PC card is inserted into the PC Card slot of the projector, the Capture feature is not available.
*The "Card Error" display means that the free space of the PC card is insufficient for saving images. Make more space available on the card by erasing unwanted images with your PC. The number of images that can be captured depends on the size of the PC card.
CAUTION: Make sure that the PC card is removed during Standby mode (NOT Idle mode) or with the main power off.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the data on your PC card, or may cause the projector to malfunction.
Should a malfunction occur, turn off the main power and turn it back on.
Preparations:

Insert the PC card so that the end with the insertion direction arrow on the top goes in first.
* Press the eject button to eject the card.
