well as macro mode for near objects. When the lens popup dial is turned to On, it is in scene mode.
To activate the macro mode, you can just simply turn the
lens pop-up dial from On to “ ” icon. Then, you can
capture the objects in a short distance.
Using Flash Module
You can use this camera with a detachable flash module in order to take pictures in an environment without
enough light source.
To connect the flash module, insert the plug of the flash into the jack of the camera main unit. Turn on the power
switch of the flash located at the side of the camera. The ” ” icon is then displayed on the LCD screen. Now the

settings and deleting all the data in the camera’s
memory.
When the camera settings are modified in
NOTE
the “Oregon Scientific Config” screen, the
settings on the camera are also switched
automatically.
• About the file counter (file numbers)
File numbers (No. 0001 to 9999) are automatically assigned
to images when they are shot. The assigned file numbers are
then saved with the images during downloading.
Because the file numbers assigned when shots are taken
*
are stored on the camera, the file numbers of images do
not change while they remain on the camera.
If you delete an image on the camera after shooting it, the
*
file number of the deleted file is skipped.
When you reset the file counter, the file numbers for the next
*
images shot begin again from “0001”. However, the file
counter can only be reset when [Delete All Images] or [Format]
is selected in the “Oregon Scientific Config” screen.
• Low Light Alert: When this feature is enabled, the
camera warns the user that a scene is too dark for a
proper picture. Under such dim lighting conditions, the
camera will make an error beep when the shutter
button is pressed. Keeping the shutter button pressed
during and after the beep will force the snapshot, if
desired, but the quality of the picture will most likely
be sub-standard.
• Auto Shutoff timeout: User can select the auto shutoff timeout with short (~25 seconds) or long (~50
seconds). The factory default is short.
