Manual Mode

The DC260 Camera supports two advanced capture modes—the external flash mode and the long time mode. The DC220 Camera supports only the long time mode.

The two manual mode icons are:

External flash mode— the DC260 camera’s built-in flash is disabled and the external flash sync is used to provide flash. You set the camera aperture setting (or f/stop). Choose from 1.8, 2.4, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, or 22. The default value is 5.6 and provides an appropriate depth of field for many identification or portraiture applications.

Long time mode— The camera’s flash is disabled as it is assumed that a long exposure time is necessary to obtain a proper exposure within the current ambient lighting environment. You set the exposure time between 0.5 and 4 seconds in 0.5 second increments.

Infrared Communication

In a camera to camera connection in the Review mode, two cameras can communicate with each other through an infrared connection. The Infrared Communication icon appears and changes to indicate the state of the camera’s communication with its infrared partner camera.

The infrared communication icons are:

 

 

Initiating communication—

Infrared communication has been

initiated.

 

 

Searching for communication partner—

The camera is

looking for an infrared communication partner.

 

Blinking

Communicating— The camera is communicating with its infrared partner. The alphanumeric display also indicates the number of pictures that have yet to be transmitted.

Communication timed out— A problem has occurred that has caused the communication to time out. The icon continues to blink until you respond to the LCD dialog or turn the camera off.
