Setting Picture Quality

Different elements combine to determine the quality of the pictures that you take.

●Resolution: The camera stores images at 640 X 480 resolution.

●Compression: The camera saves pictures using two levels of image compression: Normal (high compression) or Fine (low compression). Low compression produces higher quality images but less number of pictures can be taken. Higher compression produces acceptable quality images and allows more pictures to be taken.

—Normal Quality (120 images)

—Fine Quality (60 images)

To select the picture quality:

1. Make sure that the camera is in Record mode. Then, press the Mode/Menu button for over 2 seconds to enter the camera options in Record mode.

2.To select normal quality, press the Shutter button when N blinks on the LCD panel.

3. To select fine quality, press the Mode/Menu button and release it instantly. When F blinks on the LCD panel, then press the Shutter button to select the option.

Setting the Self-Timer

The Self-Timer creates a 10-second delay between the time you press the Shutter button and the time the picture is taken. You can activate the Self-Timer by selecting the Self-Timer on option in Record mode. When the Self-Timer is selected, the Self-Timer indicator at the front of the camera lights in red. Pressing the shutter button turns on the Self-Timer. The Self-Timer indicator starts blinking, then blinks more quickly for the last 3 seconds.

After a picture has been taken, the Self-Timer sets off automatically. You will need to enter the camera options in Record mode and turn on the Self-Timer every time you want to use it.
