Brightness, contrast, & colour saturation
(5w) or strobe output (5x).
3.2 Studio Environment
The DMP can be used with studio lights
through either the x-sync connection (1q,
5z) or by using DMP as a trigger strobe
(5y). The DMP colour temperature has
been preset to 5400K. If you do not know
the colour temperature of your studio lightsyou can use the one push colour balance
(see section 3.3). The colour temperature
menu allows you to optimise the DMP to
match your lighting conditions as follows:
a Enter the main menu by pressing the menu
on/off button (1e). You will see the main
menu displayed on screen.
b Use the arrow buttons (1f) to scroll down
to the Toolbox icon (5e). Press OK (1g).
c Use the arrow buttons (1f) to highlight the
colour temperature icon (5s) and press OK
(1g).
d In the colour temperature menu, use the

Use the one touch colour balance if you do
not know the colour temperature of your
lighting set up or you are unsatified with
the existing colour balance use the one
touch colour balance for calibration.
Warning, the operation of the one touch
colour balance requires that an image be
captured. This captured image will overwrite the active memory buffer.
a From the colour temperature menu (5s),
select the one touch colour balance icon
(5aa) as described in the previous section.
b A live preview will be displayed with an
overlay consisting of a black rectangle
used to frame the grey card. In the top left:
an icon indicating the currently selected
flash mode (on-board, slave or X-sync).In
the top right & bottom right: two arrows
indicating the effect of moving the green
indicator line (which is only displayed in
capture mode):
Towards the white arrow to lighten the
image
Towards the black arrow to darken the
image

between the two black lines. The one touch
icon will now also be displayed in the top cen-
tre of the screen.
e Pressing the image capture button (1c)
again will return to live preview. Whilst in
“live” mode, make any adjustments to the
English 9
lighting (to lighten or darken the image as
indicated) or reframe the grey card to fill
the rectangle. Repeat this live/freeze operation until the green line is positioned
between the two black lines.
f Pressing the menu button (1e) while a cap-
tured image is displayed selects the calculated colour balance and returns the user to
the set-up menu.
g Pressing the menu button (1e) while in live
preview cancels the setting of colour balance and returns the user to the colour balance menu.
h Press the menu button (1e) to exit the
menu.
3.4 Skin Tone Settings

4 Optimising your surroundings
4.1 Onboard flash
The DMP comes with an onboard flash unit
mounted above the lens. The onboard flash
is set as the default option but can be
adjusted by either using the flash adjust
buttons (1h) or via the main menu (see
below).
Step through the following procedure to
ensure the DMP lighting mode applicable to
your studio set-up has been selected.
a Enter the DMP main menu by pressing the
menu on/off button (1e). You will see the
main menu displayed on screen.
b Use the down arrow button (1f) to high-
light the Toolbox icon (5e). Press OK (1g)
to proceed to the next step.
c The flash icon (5r) is the first one displayed
in the column. It indicates the current sta-
tus of the flash set up on the DMP. Press
OK (1g) to select the flash options.
d In the flash set up menu, use the arrow
buttons (1f) to highlight the required icon
and press the OK button (1g). The manual
flash icon (5x) allows the user to adjust the
on-DMP flash output. The flash slave icon
(5y) sets the flash to emit just enough light
to trigger studio lighting, but not sufficient
to illuminate the subject. The X-sync icon
(5z) disables the onboard flash so that the
DMP can be used with full studio lighting
via an x-sync cable.
e Press the menu button (1e) to exit the
menu.
When the unit is switched off the DMP
automatically stores all the chosen set-
tings.
Note: The system can be used with studio
lighting or the on-board flash. For use with
the on board flash the recommended dis-
tance from subject to lens 1.2m (47
inches).
English 11
4.2 Studio Lighting
The quality of the shot greatly depends
upon correct lighting. This section details
how you can improve your studio lighting
set-up. The 4 light sources discussed areas
follows:
Main lighting (13): Soft light source using a
flash with an umbrella, soft box or other
reflector, preferably at an angle of 45º to
the axis of shooting and at a distance of
2m from the subject.
Fill-in lighting (14): Weaker and more diffused light than the main light source. Positioned opposite the main light source to
soften harsh facial shadows according to
setting, light intensity and/or distance.
Background lighting (15): Positioned close
to the screen behind the subject to eliminate the shadows cast by the person onto
the background.
Overhead lighting (16) gives depth to the
photograph and produces subtle lighting
effects on hair and shoulders. This source
of lighting should be positioned between
70cm and 1m above the head. (Please
ensure that it is not reflected in the lens.)
Example of a professional lighting set-up
(17): Use all 4 light sources described
above to achieve optimum results:
a Main lighting
b Fill-in lighting
c Background lighting
d Overhead lighting (if necessary with honey-
combed diffusing screen)
c Combined background lighting and, if nec-
essary, overhead lighting.
When using flash lighting, the ideal set up
is with two light sources positioned as
shown. If you are using only one off DMP
lighting source, it should be positioned as
close to the lens as possible to avoid shad-
ows (preferably directly above).
Note: It is particularly important when
using flash lighting, to ensure balanced
lighting of subject and backdrop. If back
lighting is used e.g. to remove a shadow
behind the subject, it should be set to low
power to avoid over-exposing. Saturating
the backdrop may cause an imbalance in
the image.
4.3 Exposure correction
If exposure correction is needed see below
If image is too dark If image is too light
Increase brightness
setting (5w)
or
Move the DMP or
lights closer to the
subject and zoom
out
or
Increase light output
Note: There may be differences between
the preview screen image and the photo
image so you may need to return to this
table after printing a test picture.
Decreasing bright-
ness setting (5w)
or
Move the DMP or
lights away from the
subject and zoom in
or
Decrease light output
Example of a simplified lighting set-up (18):
If space is restricted we recommend the
following solution:
a Main lighting
b Secondary lighting comprising a white
reflective screen

solvent to clean the brown heating line of
the thermal print head making strokes from
right to left (22).
Note: The cotton sticks should be applied
gently to avoid damaging the print head.
e Replace the cover and turn the DMP the
correct way up.

prints. If you see “tread” mark patterns on
your prints you should follow the proce-
dure laid out below:
a Ensure the DMP is switched off and unplug
the power lead. Wait for 5 minutes.
