3.Press the Shutter button to change the Quality setting. The shutter button “toggles” back and forth between “High Quality” and “Normal Quality”.

Using the Built-in Flash

The ViviCam 2750 has three different flash modes: Auto (the default mode), On (Fill), and Off. Each of these modes can be accessed via the Flash button (button 12) on the back panel of the camera.

∙Auto - The camera automatically determines if it must fire the flash when the brightness of the subject, or scene, is too low.

∙On (Fill) - Fires the flash regardless of the brightness levels. However, the intensity of the flash varies according to the ambient brightness, so the more light in the area, the lower level of the flash. This essentially forces the flash to fire each time to press the shutter.

∙Off - The flash is disengaged regardless of ambient brightness.

Note: Sometimes Flash On is called Fill. It can be useful to have the flash bulb fire in situations of high contrast or heavy shadows in order to “fill-in” light in those portions of the scene.

Using the Self-Timer

The Self-Timer is useful 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 Forward button (button 11) at anytime in capture mode. If timer- mode has been selected, each time you press the shutter button there will be a ten second delay. This delay is marked by flashing the Red Self-Timer LED once per second for seven seconds, then twice per second for the last three seconds. This Red LED is on the front face of the camera near the lens.

Memory Full

Once you have filled image memory with images, you must erase some before capturing new ones. To save your images permanently, transfer them from the camera to your PC. When the camera memory is full, the green LED (item 14) will flash once per second. Also, the image LCD screen displays a “STORAGE FULL” message.
