Setting Auto Shut-off

PhotoPC’s power-saving feature automatically shuts off the camera if

you wait more than 60 seconds before taking a picture.

You can adjust this time period by connecting the camera to your

Macintosh and using PhotoPC Settings. Follow these steps:

Connect the camera to your Macintosh as described in Chapter 3

and open the Setup window as described on page 5-1.

The Auto Shut-off slider is set to 1 minute, as shown on page 5-2.

Drag the slider to the left to reduce the time period, or to the right to

increase it.

As you move the slider, the screen shows the number of minutes.

You can select from 0 to 5 minutes.

If you select 0, the camera shuts off immediately after your picture

is captured and saved to memory. When you turn it back on, you

have just 30 seconds to take a picture after the standby light stops

flashing.

When you are finished, click OK.

NOTE

Auto Shut-off occurs after 5 minutes when the camera is connected to

your Macintosh. You can’t change this time period.

Setting the Shutter Speed

When the camera is connected to your Macintosh, you can use PhotoPC

Settings to adjust the shutter speed. Slower shutter speeds allow more

light to strike the lens; faster speeds allow you to take “stop-action”

pictures of moving subjects.

Shutter speed settings remain in effect only

while the camera is connected to your Macintosh.

The factory shutter speed is Auto, which means that PhotoPC

automatically adjusts the shutter speed based on the amount of light

available. You will probably want to use this setting most of the time,

unless you are planning to take stop-action pictures or use special

lighting effects.

NOTE

When you adjust the shutter speed manually, you can’t use the

auto flash setting. To take a picture with the flash, you need to use the

forced flash setting. See page 2-5 for more information.
