The operation of your camera is controlled through three

Feature Buttons

and a

Shutter

Release Button

. In general,

Feature Up

Button causes the selection to increase, the

Feature

Down

Button causes it to decrease and the

Feature Select

Button causes a selection to occur.

Your camera can operate in any of three record modes or a playback mode. The record
modes include: Still frame, Sound and Movie with Sound. The playback mode can be used to
view or listen to recorded pictures, sounds or movies. Record Specifications are:

Mode Specification

Still Frame 640 x 480 x 24 bit Color
Sound 8KHz 16 bit Mono
Movie 160 x 120 x 24 bit Color at 15fps

2.1 Turning the Power On

To turn the power on, press either the

Power

Button located on the rear of the camera or the

Shutter Release

button.

The camera can be powered on either by batteries or USB power supply.

Argus DC2700 Camera User Manual

Page 7 of 28

To turn the power off, press the

Power

button. Or, power will turn off automatically when

the Power Off

Timeout

occurs with no user action. You can change the Power Off

Timeout

through the

SETUP MENU

.

When power is first applied, the camera always starts with the

Live Viewfinder

running.

If the camera is attached to a

USB

port, then, the power is obtained from the USB and the

power will not turn off automatically.

2.2 Using the Live Viewfinder

The

Live Viewfinder

is an Active display that allows you to see what the camera sees. The
Live Viewfinder accurately indicates the tonality and composition of the scene that you will
capture. While constantly updating the image, the camera automatically determines the best

exposure

setting and the best

white balance

setting.

If you pan to a new scene that is much brighter or darker than the last, the camera may
require several seconds to adjust to the new lighting condition. Take a picture when these
modifications have completed.

Note that the DC2700 is designated with its best focus at 1.867 m

The

Viewfinder

may require focus adjustment. A

Focus Adjustment Knob

is located at the

top of your camera. This focus adjustment does not change the lens focus and therefore will

not affect pictures in any way. It is only an adjustment for your viewing of the

Viewfinder.

Adjusting Exposure (brightness)

While looking at the Live Viewfinder, you can easily adjust the brightness of the image with
the

Feature Up

and

Down

buttons. The Up button will increase the brightness, while the

Down

button decreases it. This can be especially useful with a scene that has a strong back

light (such as a window), behind the subject. Brightening the image will adjust the

exposure

for the subject and allow the window to saturate.

Note that any exposure adjustment that you make will be indicated in the Record Menu. It
however, is not saved when you turn the camera power off.

2.3 Using Camera with TV

TV mode vs LCD mode

The Live Video and MENU (OSD) on Cyber Display can be transferred to TV ( TV mode ) by
connecting the camera via RCA cable. Basically, displaying on TV serves the same purpose as
displaying on the Viewfinder except that TV will enable an instant playback of recorded sound
files.

Argus DC2700 Camera User Manual

Page 8 of 28

Note: While in TV mode, Cyber Display may turn off.

2.4 Recording a Still Picture

While in the

Live Viewfinder

Mode, if you

momentarily

press the

Shutter Release

Button

you will capture a single

Still

image. After the image is captured, a

Freeze Frame

presentation of the captured image will appear in the Viewfinder. This

Freeze Frame

accurately represents the image that you have captured and therefore gives you the ability to
decide immediately if another shot is required.

Still images are stored in .JPG format in your camera.
At this point, pressing the

Shutter Release

Button again will return you to the

Live

Viewfinder

, and more Still Pictures can be taken.

After the first picture in a sequence, you may immediately return to the Live Viewfinder and
take a second picture. However, after the second in a series of pictures is taken, attempting
again to return to the

Live Viewfinder

may result in displaying a

BUSY

message. This
indicates that the camera has no more Scratch Memory for image capture. After
approximately 4 seconds, the camera will return to

Live Viewfinder

mode automatically.

Argus DC2700 Camera User Manual

2.5 Make a Video with Sound

You can take a short

Quick Time

of Quicktime applications ) movie ( maximum 10 seconds ) with your camera by pressing and

holding the

Shutter Release

button down. At first, your camera will take a Still Picture.

But, if the

Shutter Release

still being held down,

The movie will continue to be acquired until either you release the

Shutter Release Button

,

or after 10 seconds have elapsed.

You will notice a "Q" at the bottom-right hand corner of the

Viewfinder

, indicating that the

image is a

3.1.4 PROCESS – Setting the Picture Taking Features

The Record Menu offers you the ability to modify the way
that still images are captured. Various settings can be
modified including the exposure level, flash usage (optional
for some cameras), the resolution quality, white balance
settings and the digital zoom factor. Selecting Done will
return you to the Main Menu.

EXP – Exposure Setting

Images are always acquired with Automatic Exposure for selecting the proper exposure time.
Exposure times can range from 1/2000 second to 1/15 second. However, you can choose to
force the camera to use an exposure setting that is higher or lower than the calculated
Automatic value in half f/stop increments (decrements). These settings are indicated as
AUTO+2.0 to AUTO-2.0. Note that while viewing the active Viewfinder, the Up and Down
buttons, will modify this value by half f/stop increments (decrements) without the need to
enter the menu system.

FORMAT

There are two Quality settings available:

Fine – 640x480 Resolution. This provides the best quality resolution.
Economy – 320x240 Resolution. This provides for the smallest possible file.
Zoom X2 – 320x240 Center of frame.

Suggested numbers of pictures at different “JPG” and “FORMAT” modes

Corrupted image files may consume internal memory storage which affect the
actual picture storage. You may format the memory ( Please see FORMAT at
page 15 ) to destroy all picture, movie, sound files and corrupted data.

JPEG

Images are compressed with a standard "Baseline" JPEG algorithm. The algorithm can be
adjusted to compress more or less. Higher settings result in higher quality (less JPEG
artifacts) and larger files. Settings can range from 40 to 90 where 90 is the highest quality.

FORMAT

Format allows you to re-format a storage media. This can be applied to either the internal
NVRAM (this will not destroy the program) or an external compact flash card. Formatting
destroys all picture, movie or sound file data. It is to be used when a storage media becomes
corrupt as can occur if the power fails when a file is being written.

3.2 Loading New Camera Firmware

New Firmware can be loaded into your camera with the following procedure:
First, turn the power off or allow to automatically power down.
Second, Insert a Compact Flash card that contains a new file MAIN.BIN and does NOT

contain a file called LOADED.
Third, note that when the camera starts, you should see the message: "Loading New

Program" followed by "Done" when it is complete.
Fourth, Turn off the power and re-start. The new Firmware should be in and operating.
Note: Do not turn off the power, or remove the compact flash card while a load is in

progress.

3.3 Compact Flash vs. Internal Memory Storage
of Pictures

When a Compact Flash card is inserted, images, sounds and movies are all stored directly into
the Compact Flash. When it is full, a Full Message will appear in the Viewfinder and you
will be unable to acquire any more images or sounds until you delete some files.

When a Compact Flash card is NOT inserted into the camera, you can still store a limited
number of images or sound files in the available internal NVRAM.

When you insert a Compact Flash Card and there are any files resident within the internal
memory, then these files are ignored. You will see a message on your screen that says "NEW
CARD PRESS SHUTTER RELEASE TO CONTINUE."

Note that DC2700 is compatible to Compact Flash card of different memory sizes.
