NOTE

Remember that the camera shuts off automatically after 60 seconds. To turn the camera back on, slide the power switch OFF, and then ON. Or press the shutter button to turn on the camera. You will have to press the shutter button again to take a picture.

TIP

When you’re taking pictures outdoors, make sure the sun is at your back. In very bright light (at the beach or in snow, for example), your pictures may come out too light. You can use an ND filter to reduce the amount of light. See page 6-5 for more information.

Taking Pictures in Range

You should be at least 2 feet (60 cm) away from the subject you are photographing. If you want to take pictures at a closer range, you should use a 37 mm video camcorder close-up lens. See page A-5 for instructions.

However, if you use a close-up or “macro” lens, the viewfinder does not give you an accurate image of your picture. You may want to connect the camera to your Macintosh and view your close-up images on the screen before you capture them. See page 5-5 for information on viewing and taking pictures from your Macintosh.

You can take flash pictures within a range of 3 to 10 feet, as described on page 2-5.

Adjusting Settings

You can adjust the following three settings on PhotoPC using the EasyTouch control buttons on the top of

the camera:

❙Flash

❙Resolution

❙Timer.

Flash and resolution settings remain in effect even after you turn off the camera.

NOTE

The controls return to their factory settings when you remove or change the batteries.
