Kodak DCS500 Changing the Drive Mode, Pressing the Shutter Button Completely, Single Exposure

Pressing the Shutter Button Completely

Press the Shutter button completely to release the Shutter and capture an image.

The Back LCD panel’s frame counter displays the frame number.

☛ Viewfinder data turns off during exposure.

If the camera moves at the instant the Shutter button is released, the motion during exposure may cause an unsharp picture. This occurrence, called “camera shake,” can be prevented by following these guidelines:

1Hold the camera with your right hand and the lens with your left hand (firmly) so that they do not move when you capture the image.

2Gently press the Shutter button from the halfway position to the fully-pressed position with the fat part of your index finger. The trick to keeping the camera still when capturing an image is to press the Shutter button by gently squeezing the camera with your right hand.

Changing the Drive Mode

There are two drive modes: single exposure mode (		) and continuous exposure mode
(	).

Single Exposure

In single exposure mode, one image is captured each time you press the Shutter button. After capturing an image, return the Shutter button to the half-pressed position to prepare for the next exposure while keeping the exposure value locked (possible only when the camera is set to One-shot AF and Evaluative Metering modes).

Continuous Exposure

In continuous exposure mode, images are captured continuously at the following rates:

DCS 520	3.5 frames/sec. If memory is full—burst depth is of 12 reached—the rate
	is temporarily reduced to .5 frame/sec. (1 frame/2 sec.)
DCS 560	1 frame/sec. If the memory is full—burst depth of 3 is reached—the rate is
	temporarily reduced to .15 frame/sec. (1 frame/7 sec.)
