Using e-mini M as a Digital Camera
The camera allows you to easily take digital photo shots. This section shows you how
to take pictures with the camera.
Taking Pictures
Set the camera to DSC mode when you want to take pictures. To take digital photo
shots with the camera, make sure that there is enough battery power or that the op-
tional power adapter is properly connected. (See page 10 to 11 for details on how to
insert batteries or connect a power adapter.) Connecting a USB cable between the
camera and your PC can also provide power to the camera. (See page 18 to see an
illustration of how to connect a USB cable.)
If you want to use a Compact Flash memory card to store your pictures, insert the
memory card before you start taking pictures. Without a Compact Flash memory card
installed, the pictures are stored in built-in memory. (For more information on inserting
memory card, see page 12 ).
