If necessary, use special cleaning liquid for camera lenses. Do not use a different cleaning product.

Note: All the recordings in the camera’s internal memory are deleted when

the batteries are replaced or when they become empty. Transfer the photographs to your computer before replacing the batteries or use a CF card. A CF card saves recordings even without batteries.

Tip: The quality of the photograph depends on the surrounding light. More

light will result in a b etter picture.

Tip: The number of photographs that can be taken depends on the

number of details of the object to be photographed. The specifications are an approximation.

Tip: The image viewed through the viewfinder may be slightly different to

what is recorded through the lens. You can use the LCD screen for greater accuracy.

Tip: The quality of the video recording depends on the surrounding light.

More light will result in a better image.

Tip: The maximum duration of a video recording depends on the camera’s

memory. An approximation is given in table 9.

Tip: The result will be b etter if you move the ca mera slowly or hold it still

whilst recording. Quick movements may lead to jerky images, because the video clip is recorded at 10 images per second, which is less than the standard 25 images per second.

Tip: The batteries w ill last longer if you turn off the LCD screen and use

the viewfinder.

Comment: The camera makes a new video clip each time a video recording is

started. These clips can be edited together to make a film at a later date using the software supplied with the camera. Many short clips are more difficult to edit than less, but longer clips.

Page 18

TRUST 632AV LCD POW ER VIDEO

Note: If you wish to enlarge photographs from the camera to a resolution of

3.3 Mpix, use the method described in chapters 7.1.2 and 7.1.3. The method described above only produces a maximum resolution of 2 Mpix.

7.2 Ulead Photo Express 4

You can use this application to solve problems with the pictures, such as the red-eye effect, coloured photographs, photographs which are too bright or too dark, remove undesirable objects from the background, etc. You can also use this application to design calendars and cards.

Follow the instructions given below:

1. Copy your photographs to your hard disk as described in chapter 7.1.2 or

7.1.6.

2. Click on ‘Start – Programs – Ulead Photo Express 4.0 SE – Ulead Photo Express 4.0 SE’. Figure 1 2 will appear. You will be in the ‘Browse’ mode.

See this program’s instruction manual and Help function for more information.

Note: The photographs are saved in JPEG format to save space. JPEG

reduces the size of the file by removing small details from the photograph. If you wish to edit the photographs during different sessions, use a different file format to JPEG (for example, TIFF) to prevent the loss of quality as a result of constant loading and saving in the JPEG format.

Note: Since editing cannot be undone, it is recommended to make a copy of

the photographs and to only edit the copies. You can then always return to the original photographs. It is strongly recommended to make a backup on a CD-ROM using a CD-writer for protection against computer faults.

7.3 Ulead Photo Explorer 7
