Use the v and V control buttons to set a negative EV value when the distance L is less than 1.8 meter, or a positive EV value when the distance is more than 1 meter. Be sure to take a test picture to check the results. This mode is suitable for indoor ID portraits in which the built-in flash is the main light source and a shadow-clearing flash is connected to the camera by synchronization cord.

Forced flash + manual exposure mode ()

You can manually set aperture and, shutter speed, and select one of seven flash intensity levels (2 0.5EV) for the built-in flash before shooting. This mode is suitable for shooting portraits in which the built-in flash acts as a trigger for the main light source, an external flash connected to the camera by synchronization cord.

Large-size synchronized flash

Synchronized flash

No flash + manual exposure mode ( )

In this flash mode, the aperture and shutter speed are set manually, and the built-in flash does not fire. The built-in flash does not fire. This mode is suitable for shooting indoors under stable light sources, such as

Preparing the Printer

Before using the printer for the first time, perform the following steps to insert the print cartridge and paper tray. These preparations are not required at every use. Perform them only when necessary.

Print packs

In order to print, a print pack designed for this printer (UPC-X46 series, or UPC-X34 series) (not supplied) is required. A print pack is a set consisting of print paper and a print cartridge.

Notes

• Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the rewound print cartridge for printing. Doing so may produce incorrect printing results or damage the printer.

• Only use print packs designed for this printer.

• Always use sets of print cartridges and print paper that match in size. Using a print cartridge together with print paper of a different size may produce incorrect printing results or cause paper jams and other problems.

• Do not print on used print paper. Printing an image twice on the same paper will not make the image darker and may damage the printer.

• Avoid touching the printing surface of the print paper and the ink ribbon of the print cartridge, and avoid storing print packs in locations subject to high temperatures and humidity, excessive dust, or direct sunlight. Fingerprints or dust on the printing surface or ink ribbon may lower the print quality.

• When removing partially used print cartridges and print paper from the printer for storage, store them in their original packaging.

L P

T O

T E

Do not touch the printing surface. Fingerprints or dust on the printing surface may lower the print quality.

Notes on loading the print paper

• Load UPC-X46 series print paper into the large paper tray and UPC-X34 series print paper into the small paper tray. Mismatch between the paper and tray sizes may result in a paper jam.

• Do not remove or insert the paper tray while printing is in progress.

• If the print paper does not feed automatically, the

lamp lights and a message displays. Pull out the

paper tray, and check for a paper jam.

• When loading additional print paper into the tray, make sure that the total number of sheets does not exceed 25 for the UPC-X46 or 30 for the UPC-X34 series. Do not load different types of paper in the tray together. Doing so may result in a paper jam.

• Do not write or print text on the print paper before printing. The printer may not be able to print on paper that has been written on. When writing on an image after printing, use an oil-based ink pen. Text from word processors cannot be printed on the print surface.

• Do not attach stickers or tape on the print paper before printing.

• Do not print on used print paper. Printing an image twice on the same paper will not make the image darker and may damage the printer.

• Do not fold or bend the print paper before printing. Doing so may damage the printer.

• When paper is ejected after printing, do not allow more than five sheets to accumulate in the paper tray. Doing so may result in a paper jam.

Notes on storage

• Avoid storage in locations subject to high temperatures and humidity, excessive dust, or direct sunlight.

• Do not store print paper sheets with their printing surfaces touching each other. Also, do not allow printing surfaces to remain in contact with plastic or rubber materials containing vinyl chloride or plasticizers for extended periods of time. Doing so may result in discoloration or bleaching.

• When removing unused print paper from the printer for storage, store it in its original packaging.

Dark LightSubject

MAG-GRN adjustment (G parameter)

You can adjust the magenta and green color components. The default is 0. Pressing B on the control button of the printer changes the value in the plus direction to 1, 2 … 7, making the green component value in the picture increase in the linear direction that the brightness increases as shown in figure 1. This adds more green as if a green light has been cast. However, the maximum effective brightness value is 255. When the value becomes larger than 255, saturation occurs. When this occurs, the saturated white area remains white even if the value is increased further in the plus direction. Pressing b on the control button changes the value in the minus direction to –1, –2 … –7, making the green component value in the picture decrease in the linear direction that the brightness decreases as shown in the figure. Decreasing the brightness makes the green color darker and reduces the greenness. The complementary color magenta (reddish-purple) is added. In this case, the white area becomes slightly magenta in color.

CYN-RED adjustment (R parameter)

You can adjust the cyan and red color components. The default is 0. Pressing B on the control button of the printer changes the value in the plus direction to 1, 2 … 7, making the red component value in the picture increase in the linear direction that the brightness increases as shown in figure

1. This adds more red as if a red light has been cast.

However, the maximum effective brightness value is

255. When the value becomes larger than 255, saturation

occurs. When this occurs, the saturated white area remains white even if the value is increased further in the plus direction. Pressing b on the control button changes the value in the minus direction to –1, –2 … –7, making the red component value in the picture decrease in the linear direction that the brightness decreases as shown in the figure. Decreasing the brightness makes the red color darker and reduces the redness. The complementary color cyan (light blue) is added. In this case, the white area becomes bluish.

YEL-BLU adjustment (B parameter)

You can adjust the yellow and blue color components. The default is 0. Except for some special specifications, this adjustment is not possible when B&W is selected. Pressing B on the control button of the printer changes the value in the plus direction to 1, 2 … 7, making the blue component value in the picture increase in the linear direction that the brightness increases as shown in figure 1. This adds more blue as if a blue light has been cast. However, the maximum effective brightness value is 255. When the value becomes larger than 255, saturation occurs. When this occurs, the saturated white area remains white even if the value is increased further in the plus direction. Pressing b on the control button changes the value in the minus direction to –1, –2 … –7, making the blue component value in the picture decrease in the linear direction that the brightness decreases as shown in the figure. Decreasing the brightness makes the blue color darker and reduces the blueness. The complementary color yellow is added. In this case, the white area becomes yellowish.

DARK adjustment (D parameter)

You can adjust the dark parts. The default is 0. Pressing B on the control button of the printer changes the value in the plus direction to 1, 2 … 7, making the dark side of each of the RGB data increase simultaneously in the linear direction that the depth increases as shown in figure 2. This adds more depth. However, the maximum effective darkness value is 0. When the value becomes smaller than 0, saturation occurs. Pressing b on the control button changes the value in the minus direction to –1, –2 … –7, making the dark side of each RGB data lighter and decreasing the darkness.

LIGHT adjustment (L parameter)

You can adjust the light parts. The default is 0. Pressing B on the control button of the printer simultaneously changes the R, G, and B parameters as shown in figure 1, making the light side of each of the RGB data increase simultaneously in the linear direction that the brightness increases. This gives an overexposed quality to the picture. Pressing b on the control button makes the light side of each of the RGB data darker, and gives you a picture that seems underexposed.

SHARPNESS

SHARPNESS adjustment is a function for adding emphasis to edges in pictures. This function cannot be used to increase the resolution. It is intended for changing the sharpness. SHARPNESS can be used as a parameter to improve pictures, but increasing the sharpness too much will not produce a natural picture. Generally, the default setting is recommended. When a large print size is used and SHARPNESS is set to a large value, picture quality does appear to improve.

Contrast

In addition to the sharpness function, it is possible to add sharpness to the image by adding the contrast of dark and light. Contrast can be set using the DARK and LIGHT items in the menu screen. Increasing the DARK and LIGHT values in the plus direction increases the contrast, and a high contrast image can be obtained. The downside, however, is that increasing the contrast values in the plus direction diminishes the amount of information about white and black tones, and as a result, the white and black gradation becomes coarser. Thus, an appropriate contrast setting is required. We recommend setting the contrast to +2 or +3.

SHARPNESS adjustment

You can adjust the sharpness of pictures. Pressing B on the control button of the printer changes the value in the plus direction from 0 to 1, 2 … 7, adding emphasis to edges in pictures. We recommend setting a small value when the print size is small.

The current state of each of the DARK, LIGHT, and GAMMA parameters is displayed for reference.

This is a picture showing the current state of the RED, GREEN, and BLUE parameters.

This is a picture showing the RED parameter decreased by 3 from the current state. The subject appears a little darker than in the current picture, and overall the picture appears slightly cyan.

This is a picture showing the GREEN parameter increased by 3 from the current state. The white saturated parts remain white and do not change. The subject appears a little lighter than in the current picture, and slightly green.

The values below each of the pictures are for the R, G, and B parameters. If, for example, you want to use the color tone on the top left in the figure above, set the B parameter to +3 because (RED, GREEN, BLUE) = (0, 0, +3).

This is a picture showing the BLUE parameter increased by 3 from the current state. The white saturated parts remain white and do not change. The subject appears a little lighter than in the current picture, and slightly blue.

This is a picture showing the GREEN parameter decreased by 3 from the current state. The subject appears a little darker than in the current picture, and overall the picture appears slightly magenta.

Shooting conditions of the camera

If you want to adjust (RED, GREEN, BLUE) = (0, 0, +3) further, set the B parameter to +3, and then print another Guide Print-RGB. This will give you a simulation for each color variation with (RED, GREEN, BLUE) = (0, 0, +3) in the center.

If you want to adjust (DARK, LIGHT, GAMMA) = (+3, 0, 0) further, set the D parameter to +3, and then print another Guide Print-DLGm. This will give you a simulation picture for each parameter variation with (DARK, LIGHT, GAMMA) = (+3, 0, 0) in the center.

Advice on adjusting color tones

The guide print function gives you a rough guide as to how to adjust the color tone. However, if you understand the following, you can use this function to its full potential. The guide print can also be used for black & white prints. Black & white pictures printed with this system are printed by overlaying the three colors cyan, magenta, and yellow to express gray. Therefore, a perfectly achromatic picture may not be obtained and colors may sometimes be visible. A black & white guide print can be used to adjust the balance of these three colors.

Adjusting the Print Quality

Complementary colors

Pictures are made up of the data of three colors (R data, G data, and B data). The color tone adjustment function can be used to change the balance of these three colors. When the R parameter is changed, the CYN-RED (cyan and red) indication appears on the LCD. Similarly, the MAG-GRN (magenta and green) indication appear on the LCD when the G parameter is changed, and the YEL-BLU (yellow and blue) indication appear on the LCD when the B parameter is changed. The complementary colors cyan and red, magenta and green, and yellow and blue are related. For example, increasing red makes cyan lighter and decreasing red makes cyan deeper.

Page 49

Difference between selecting + and –

When you print a Guide Print-RGB with each of the RGB parameters for the center picture set to 0, two simulation pictures for each RGB parameter (with the respective parameter set to +3 and –3 and the remaining two parameters set to 0) are printed around the center picture. The following explains the meaning of the + and – symbols. The R data, G data, and B data that make up the picture data are digitized values representing the strength of light of each color. The + setting is for strengthening the light of the corresponding color. The – setting is for weakening the light of the corresponding color. Data (light) saturation can be obtained with the + setting. When you need a white background, this feature enables you to get the desired results without changing the white.

• Setting in the + direction

When the R parameter is set to +3, for example, the light of the red component is strengthened, giving the overall picture a tinge of red. Since the amount of light also increases at the same time, the brightness of the picture increases by the corresponding amount. However, some parts of the picture do not change no matter how much the light is strengthened. These include parts of the picture with absolutely no light components (such as pure green, cyan, and blue parts, their intermediate colors, and deep black parts), and parts of the picture with saturated light components (such as pure magenta, red, and yellow parts, their intermediate colors, and bright white parts).

Specific example 2: Adding yellow

To add yellow to the subject, we recommend setting the B parameter to a – value in the Guide Print-RGB. However, you need to understand that the concept of weakening the light involves adding a tinge of yellow to white parts. To avoid this, set a plus value for the L parameter that is equivalent to the minus value set for B parameter. This has the same effect as setting plus values for the R and G parameters without changing the B parameter. The point to note here is that the overall brightness increases.

• Setting in the – direction

When the R parameter is set to –3, for example, the light of the red component is weakened, giving the overall picture a tinge of cyan (the complementary color of red). Since the amount of light also decreases at the same time, the darkness of the picture increases by the corresponding amount. This setting differs from the + setting in that a tinge of cyan is added to parts in which light components are saturated such as parts of pure reddish-purple (magenta), red, and yellow or their intermediate colors and bright white. This occurs especially in cases where the background is white or the subject is wearing white clothes.

Specific example 1: Removing yellow

To remove yellow from the subject, we recommend setting the B parameter to a + value in the Guide PrintRGB.

Setting the Bluetooth Functions

Bluetooth wireless technology

The bluetooth1) wireless technology allows communication between various Bluetooth devices without using cables. Devices which can use this technology include computers, computers peripheral devices, PDAs, and mobile phones. This omnidirectional communication system enables communication even if the Bluetooth device is in a bag or if there are obstacles between the devices. Also, the Bluetooth wireless technology has advanced security functions, such as scrambled frequencies and data encryption.

• When using the Bluetooth function, the distance between the camera and the printer you intend to connect must be within 10 m (33 feet) without obstacles.

1) The trademark is owned by their proprietor and

used by Sony Corporation under license. The word Bluetooth is printed in plain text throughout this document.

Passkey Authentication

A passkey is used to authenticate two Bluetooth devices that have not previously been connected to each other. This is to create a trusted relationship between them. You need to enter the same characters or numbers (passkey) for each device in the passkey-authentication process. The UPX-C300 system uses a 4-digit number as a passkey. After the same passkey is set for the devices, the authentication process for connection must be performed. Some Bluetooth devices require a new passkey entry when the valid authentication period of the devices is expired, the log file is deleted, or the security setting is changed. Passkey entry may be required, depending on the device, each time you intend to connect. Once authentication of devices has been confirmed in the UPX-C300 system, registration of each device connection is stored in a log file. After that, you can connect the devices without entering a passkey. If you wish to change the passkey, first delete the log file from the connected device, then register the devices again for re-authentication. This “Passkey” is also referred to as a “Bluetooth passkey” etc. “PIN” is also used with the same meaning.

The “Basic Imaging Profile”

The “Basic Imaging Profile” (BIP) is the specifications used when sending or receiving still images between Bluetooth devices. The main features of the BIP enable sending or receiving images, and use of the remote shutter feature of a digital still camera. To connect with your printer, the Bluetooth device must be compatible with the “Image Push Feature” of the “Basic Imaging Profile” (BIP). Before using the Bluetooth device, check the Bluetooth and BIP specifications of the device.

Bluetooth Address

A 12-digit code consisting of the numerics 0–9 and the alphabetics (A–F) is assigned to each Bluetooth device. This is a specific code for each Bluetooth device, and is called a Bluetooth address or a Bluetooth ID. The Bluetooth address is for distinguishing each device, so the same code is not assigned to several devices, nor can the code be changed.

Changing the passkey settings

You can change the passkey as required. On the UPX-C300 and separately available UP-DX100 Digital Photo Printer, the same passkey has been set at the factory. For communication security, it is recommended to change the passkey for your system.

For details on changing settings, refer to the “Changing the Passkey” on page 53.

Maintaining System

Printer

Performance

To maintain system performance, be sure to read the following.

Camera

Locations of use and storage

Using or storing the camera in any of the following locations may result in a malfunction. Do not use or store the camera in such locations.

• Extremely hot or cold locations (operating temperature of 5 °C to 35 °C (41 °F to 95 °F)

• Locations subject to prolonged periods of direct sunlight or near heating appliances

• Locations with excessive humidity or dust

• Locations exposed to rain

• Locations exposed to severe vibration

• Near sources of strong magnetism

• Near sources of strong electromagnetic waves such as TV or radio transmitters

Heat dissipation

Do not cover the camera (such as with a cloth) Doing so will increase the internal temperature and may result in a malfunction.

Transportation

When transporting the camera, be sure to pack it in the supplied carton and cushioning or equivalent packaging, and make sure it is not subject to severe mechanical shocks.

Precautions

• If you do not intend to use the printer for a long time, set the printer to standby mode and disconnect the power cord from the outlet.

• When transporting the printer, remove any accessories. Failing to do so may result in a malfunction.

Condensation

If the printer is moved from a location with low humidity to a warm location or placed in a room with a heater that causes steam and moisture to be generated, drops of water may form inside the printer. This phenomenon is referred to as condensation. If used in such a state, the printer will not work properly and may even malfunction. If there is a likelihood of condensation, turn off the power and leave the printer to stand for a while.

Cleaning

• Be sure to turn off the power and remove the power plug prior to cleaning.

• Use a blower to remove dirt and dust from the surface of the camera lens.

• Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe off dirt from the exterior. If the exterior is extremely dirty, use a cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution to wipe off the dirt and then use a dry cloth.

• Do not use volatile substances such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, or insecticide because doing so may damage the finish and erase the indications.

Taking test pictures

Be sure to take test pictures beforehand to ensure that pictures can be taken normally.

Lens

Be careful not to bump into or press against the lens while shooting. Also, do not touch the lens surface.
