Changing Operational Modes

Pressing the MODE button briefly will cycle through several special camera modes and settings. A corresponding icon or symbol (indicated in parentheses below) will be displayed on the LCD for each mode or setting as you cycle through them by tapping the MODE button. When the icon for a mode or setting is displayed, pressing SNAP will select that mode or change that setting. If no button is pressed for more than 5 seconds, the camera will return to normal operation. The modes/settings are shown as you cycle through them in the following order:

•Timer ( ) : selects the self-timer, which will take a photo after a 10 second delay when you press the SNAP button. This can be used to avoid moving or shaking the camera by pressing the SNAP button when the camera is placed on a table or other level surface. A series of “beeps” with increasing frequency will be heard. After using the self timer, the camera automatically returns to normal operation (timer is canceled).

•Video Mode: ( ) : This mode sets the camera to take short video clips (.avi files) rather than still photos. With the movie camera icon displayed, press SNAP to begin shooting the video. The counter will show elapsed seconds . Press SNAP again to stop shooting the video. The counter will advance by one number, as a new file (video) has been stored in the internal memory. After shooting the video clip, the camera reverts back to normal still photo operation (assuming unused memory remains). Repeat the steps to set AVI mode again if you wish to shoot more video clips.

•Continuous Shot ( CS ) : Takes rapid series of 3 consecutive photos, approx. 1 second apart, when you press and hold the SNAP button. You will hear a short beep when each photo is taken. As with the timer, the camera will return to normal operation after the shots are taken, cancelling the CS mode.

•Delete All ( ) : With this mode is selected, press SNAP once, and the number of total photos in memory will blink in the display. Press the SNAP button a second time to erase the entire memory contents. If SNAP is not pressed a second time while the photo counter is blinking, the camera will
