Casio YC-430 Digital Camera User Manual


 
YC-430 Modes
PJ Camera Software has two startup modes: a Business Document startup
mode
BD
and a Multi PJ startup mode
MP
. The startup mode you are using
determines the functions available to you when you start up PJ Camera Software.
Document Camera Mode
BD
MP
Document camera functions are for projecting images of documents and three-
dimensional objects. Select the Business Document startup mode when you want to
limit PJ Camera Software operation to these functions. When you need more precise
control over document camera functions or when you need to use other functions,
select the Multi PJ startup mode.
Scanner Mode
MP
The Scanner Mode provides high-speed scanning operations for everything from thick
objects to documents. This mode is great when you need to digitize a large number of
document pages.
Camera Image Mode
MP
The Camera Image Mode lets you project images recorded with the PJ Camera
and stored in the PJ Camera memory.
PC Image Mode
MP
The PC Image Mode lets you project images that are stored on your computer.
Board Area Capture/Projection Area Capture
MP
After you project an image onto a whiteboard and add handwritten notes with a
marker, you can record the image along with the handwritten notes to a new image.
These functions come in handy when you need to record the progress or the results
of a meeting.
