Capturing Images
There are several factors that should be considered when captur-
ing quality images. Proper positioning, distance, lighting, even hold-
ing the camera in just the right way can make all of the difference
when capturing quality images.
To capture an image:
1. Power on the camera and ensure that you are in Camera mode
(Green LED) by pressing the Mode button.
2. Set the Iris Selector based on the lighting conditions surrounding
the subject.
Use the (F8.0) setting for brightly lit subjects or for close
range shots. This setting reduces the exposure of light.
Use the (F2.8) setting for indoor, backlit images, or long
range shots. This setting increases the exposure of light.
3. From the LCD Menu, select the White Balance and Quality as
described earlier in this chapter.
4. Position the subject in the viewfinder or the LCD (if activated).
5. Gently press the Shutter button, holding the camera steady to
obtain a crisp image.
Note: If the memory full indicator is lit when set on high or standard
quality it may be possible to capture one or two more economic
quality images; because economic quality images take up less memory
than high or standard quality images.
Note: When using the flash on an object at or closer than 1.2 meters
(4 feet), set the Iris Selector to the setting. However, if the object
is further than 1.2 meters (4 feet) set the Iris Selector to the setting.
Processing
When the camera is in Camera Mode and the Shutter button has
been pressed, the green/orange LED Indicator will flash on and off
and a processing bar will be displayed on the LCD screen (if
powered on) until the camera is ready to capture another image.
