Camera Operation - 6

 

 

 

Camera Operation

This section covers basic camera operations. The information can also be found in Chapter 2 of the Apple QuickTake 200 owner’s manual.

Adjusting the LCD Screen Brightness

Use the brightness dial on the bottom of the camera to set the LCD screen to a visible brightness.

Note: While taking pictures indoors, the brightness of an image might be affected by the flicker of fluorescent lighting.

Important: The brightness dial does not adjust the brightness of images that you have already taken; it only adjusts the brightness of the LCD screen.

Using the Camera Mode Dial

The mode dial on the top of the camera provides eight settings (represented by icons) that let you choose how you want your camera to work.

Record-Fine and Record Modes

You take pictures by turning the mode dial to either Record-Fine ( ) for highest-quality

images or Record (

) for good-quality images.

• In Record-Fine (

) mode, high-quality images have 640x480 pixels resolution, and

you can take up to 20 high-quality pictures. Use Record-Fine mode to print or display the image when you want to preserve the details of the image.

• In Record ( ) mode, good-quality images have 640x480 pixels resolution, and you can take up to 30 standard-quality pictures. Use Record mode when you don’t need to show as much detail.

You can mix high-quality and standard-quality images on the camera—all in 24-bit color. The camera holds a maximum of 30 images.

1Set the mode dial to either Record-Fine () or Record () . Live video images appear on the LCD screen.

2Frame your picture using the LCD screen as your guide.

3Adjust the brightness of the LCD screen using the brightness dial on the bottom of the camera, and select the correct focus using the focus selector.

4Press the shutter release.

The photographed image is displayed for about 5 to 8 seconds. “REC” or “REC-FINE” (to indicate the camera is recording) appears flashing in the upper-left corner of the LCD screen.
