Controlling the camera’s sleep time
To conserve battery power, the QuickTake camera is set to shut itself off after
5 minutes when connected to your Macintosh. You can use the QuickTake
Image Access control panel to set how long you want the camera to wait
before it shuts off when it is connected to your Macintosh.
The camera must be connected to your Macintosh. (For instructions, see
“Connecting the Camera to Your Macintosh,” earlier in this chapter.)
1 If necessary, turn on the camera by sliding open the lens cover.
2 On your Macintosh, open the QuickTake Image Access control panel.
3 Click Connect to Camera.
4 In the box that appears, click the Camera Sleeps After menu and select a new time.
The settings you choose are only in effect when the camera is connected
to your Macintosh with QuickTake Image Access. The camera will still shut
itself off after 60 seconds when it is not connected to your Macintosh (or
after 5 minutes when connected without using QuickTake Image Access).
