Camera Mode
Use the Camera Mode to record images.
• The lens for image recording is located on the top edge of the watch.
Note
• Wrist Camera memory can store up to approximately 100 images. The actual
number of images you can store depends on recording conditions. If you
record many brightly lit or colorful images, for example, the total number of
images you can store may be less than 100, and remaining memory capacity
may be less than that indicated on the display.
• The above is also true for the remaining memory capacity value that appears
on the display. This value is an approximate number for reference purposes
only. Depending on recording conditions, you may be able to store fewer
images than that indicated on the display.
To record an image
1. Press F to enter the Camera Mode .
• Note that you cannot enter the Camera Mode from the IR Mode.
• The Camera Mode screen first shows remaining memory capacity for
about one second, followed by the image being picked up by the lens.

2. While viewing the image on the display, point the lens of the watch at the
subject whose image you want to record.
• Pressing C at this time toggles between normal size and 2× digital
zoom.
3. Press F to release the shutter and record the image.
• This records the image currently on the display and saves it into
memory. The image and recording date and time remain on the display
for about three or four seconds as the image is being saved.
Note
• All watch button operations are disabled while the record operation is in
progress.
• The watch stays in the Camera Mode for about one minute after you
enter it. Then it automatically enters the VISUAL DATABANK Mode. See
“Camera Rest Interval” for more information.
• The message MEMORY FULL appears on the display to indicate that
memory is full. You will not be able to record an image while this message is
displayed. If this happens, delete images you no longer need to make room
for more images .
Camera Mode Precautions
General
• Never touch the surface of the lens. Fingerprints or dirt on the lens can cause
poor performance of the camera function. To clean the lens surface, use a
camera lens blower to blow off any dirt or dust particles, and then wipe with a
soft, dry cloth.
• Take care that you do not accidentally move the watch when you press F to
release the shutter.
• Insufficient lighting can result in poor images. Shoot in daylight whenever
possible. At night, shoot indoors in a well-lit area.
• Whenever you enter the Camera Mode, the watch normally performs a short
routine to adjust the CMOS sensor to match current lighting conditions.
Because of this, an image recorded right after you enter the Camera Mode
may contain unwanted specks. Always check the image on the watch display
and make sure its brightness is stable before recording it.

Camera Rest Interval
Camera Mode operations consume considerable battery power. To protect
against premature rundown of the battery power, the watch automatically goes
into a rest interval, during which you will be unable to re-enter the Camera
Mode after you exit it. The length of the rest interval is equal to the amount of
time you spent in the Camera Mode before you exited it. This means that if you
exit the Camera Mode after being in it for 20 seconds, you will be unable to reenter the Camera Mode for about 20 seconds.

Displayed Image Size and Memory Image Size
Though the size of images displayed by this watch is 78 × 72 dots (78 × 80
dots in the case of an image that includes the recording date and time), the
size of the image stored in memory is 176 × 144 dots. This means that after
you transfer images to your computer or another device, you can display them
with 176 × 144 dots.
Alarm, and Hourly Time Signal Sounds
The watch does not emit any alarm, or Hourly Time Signal sound while it is in
the Camera Mode.
Controlling the Camera Mode Image
You can use the following procedures to adjust the brightness, to specify the
type of lighting present when recording an image, and to configure the camera
timer.
Adjusting Image Brightness
The watch automatically sets the brightness of the image when you record it.
You can also change the brightness level manually when you want to
compensate for backlighting of the subject, very dark backgrounds, etc.

Even with manual brightness adjustment, you may not be able to obtain an
acceptable image when recording images under very bright or very dark
lighting conditions.

range of –7 to +7. The initial default level is ±0.
• It may take some time after you press B or E
before the change in brightness is reflected on
the displayed image.
