Taking Pictures with PhotoPC

2-3

Checking the Battery Icon

Before you take pictures, check the battery icon on the control panel.

The icon shows how much battery power you have left, in the following

four stages:

Full battery power (or AC adapter in use)

Battery power is decreasing

Battery power is almost out

Change batteries

The battery icon is not precise, so you should use it only as a guide to

remaining power. Several factors can affect battery life, including the

surrounding temperature and the type of batteries you use. Low

temperatures (especially below 50° F) weaken your batteries. See page

1-3 for information about changing batteries.

Snapping the Shutter

Follow these steps to take a picture:

Turn the camera on and wait until the green standby light stops

flashing.

Look straight through the viewfinder and center your subject.

Slowly press the shutter button.

Hold the camera still until the camera beeps and the standby light

starts flashing.

The flashing light indicates that the camera has captured the image and

is processing it. (If you try to press the shutter button again, you’ll hear

an “error” beep.) When the light stops flashing, the image is saved.

Saved images remain in memory for up to a year, even when the camera

is turned off and the batteries are removed.

You can take another picture when the standby light stops flashing. If the

light flashes longer each time you take a picture, your batteries are

becoming weaker.
