LCD Screen notes:
Extremely high-precision technology has been used
to manufacture the LCD screen so that most of the
pixels are operational for use. However, there may
be some minute points (black, white, red, blue or
green) that constantly appear on the LCD screen.
These points are normal in the manufacturing
process and the recording is not affected in any
way.
Avoid exposing the LCD screen to water;
please remove any moisture on the LCD
screen with a soft dry cleaning cloth.
If the LCD monitor is damaged, take particular
care with the liquid crystal in the monitor. If
any of the following situations arise, take the
recommended immediate action indicated
below:
• If liquid crystal comes in contact with your
skin, wipe the area with a cloth and then wash
thoroughly with soap and running water.
• If liquid crystal gets into your eye, flush the
affected eye with clean water for at least 15
minutes and then seek medical assistance.
• If liquid crystal is swallowed, flush your mouth
thoroughly with water. Drink large quantities of
water and induce vomiting. Then seek medical
assistance immediately.

reflecting off of the retina of the eye. Red
eye is eliminated by firing a smaller initial
flash prior to the main flash to cause the
subject not to look directly at the flash.

AgfaPhoto OPTIMA 3
Quality
The quality setting determines how much the
camera compresses the photo files. The higher
the compression, the smaller the file size will
be, but the quality will decrease. The lower the
compression, the larger the file size, but the better
the quality.
The three levels of compression are:
• :
• :
• :
Quality: Best
Quality: Fine
Quality: Normal
Size
The size setting refers to the image resolution in
pixels. A higher image resolution allows you to print
that image in larger sizes without degrading the
image quality.
The larger the pictures are, the bigger the file
sizes are and the less pictures you can store
on a memory card.
