4. Turn the camera on. The camera image will now be visible on your TV. You
could use the Mode dial button to change settings. (see chapter 3.4)

Note: Make sure to set this to PAL for use in Europe. Setting to the

wrong standard makes the screen fuzzy and everything will be
displayed in black and white.

Note: The camera’s AV output is not suitable for connecting to the

aerial connection on your TV. Your TV must have a video input.

Note: If you do not see an image and hear a loud humming sound

through the speakers, then you may have connected the image
plugs to the wrong connection. Check the connections and try

6.2 White balance

Not all light has the same colour. The light in a living room, for example, is more
yellow than daylight. The human eye automatically adjusts to this. The camera has
also been designed to do this. You can adjust the white balance when this does not
work (your photographs appear coloured). The white balance is set to AUTO when
the camera is turned on. This is usually the best setting. The white balance can be
set as followed:

1. Check whether the camera is in the SNAPSHOT mode (option 4, figure 4)
and the LCD screen has been turned on using the LCD button (16, figure 2).

2. Press the WB/DELETE button (4, figure 2) a number of times. The white
balance symbol will be disp layed at the top of the LCD screen.

3. Select one of the options from table 11 depending on the surroundings in
which the photographs will be taken.

< empty > Aut o WB

The camera automatically determines the
White Balance setting.

Daylight

Use this setting when taking pictures in bright
daylight, to reduce the effect of "whitewashed"
pictures.

Shade

Use this setting when taking pictures in shade,
or any time your pictures come out too dark.

Tungsten

Use this setting for taking pictures under
tungsten or incandescent light.

Fluorescent

Use this setting for taking pictures under
fluorescent light.

Table 11: Explanation of the white balance settings

Tip: The wrong setting will also lead to coloured photographs. The LCD

screen will only show an approximation of the result. You can correct
coloured photographs using Photo Express, which is supplied with the
camera.

Note: You can only use these settings in the PLAYBACK and SNAPSHOT

mode. When in the PLAYBACK mode, the WB button is the delete
function!

7 Connecting to a computer

This chapter explains how to connect your digital camera to a computer for either
downloading pictures to a PC or Mac or for using as a PC Camera.

Note: There’re no drivers needed to be installed on Mac OS 9.x / OS X.

Please continue to chapter 7.2.

7.1 Connecting to a PC

Tip: Install the drivers first before connecting your camera to the PC!

7.1.1 Uninstalling old drivers and devices

The most common cause of faults during installation is the presence of a driver for a
similar, old device. The best solution is to first remove all drivers related to old
devices before installing the new driver. Make sure you only delete programs for old,
unused (similar) devices.

1. Enter the Windows ‘Safe Mode’. (Press F8 when starting Windows before the
Windows start screen is displayed and select ‘Safe Mode’.)

2. Click on ‘Start – Settings – Control Panel’ and double-click on the
‘Add/Remove Programs’ icon.

3. Find all the programs for similar, old devices and remove these by clicking on
the ‘Add/Remove’ button. When in the ‘Safe Mode’, it is possible for some
programs to appear twice. In that case, remove all the programs which
appear twice.

4. Restart the computer.

7.1.2 Driver Installation

1. Insert the installation software CD into your CD-ROM drive. Don’t connect the
camera to the PC.

2. The installation program should start automatically. If not, double click the My
Computer icon on your desktop, open the CD-ROM drive, and then run the
'setup.exe' found on the installation CD-ROM.

3. Select ‘Install drivers’ in the set-up-menu (see fig. 9).

4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

5. The drivers will be installe d now.

6. Restart your computer after installing.

7.1.3 PC Camera / MSD Driver Installation

1. Install the drivers first as described in chapter 7.1.2.

2. Set the Mode Dial to PC CAMERA mode.

3. Connect the small connector of the USB cable to the camera (see figure 13).

TRUST 910Z POWERC@M OPTICAL ZOOM

20

4. Connect the large head of the USB cable to an empty USB slot on your
computer. To locate USB slots on your computer, look for the USB icon

.

5. Turn on your camera.

6. The Windows Add Hardware Wizard will automatically detect th e camera and
lead you through the installation procedures for the corresponding mode.

7. Reboot your PC and switch the Mode Dial of your camera to PLAYBACK
mode.

8. After rebooting Add Hardware Wizard will automatically detect the MSD an d
leads you through the installation procedures.

7.1.4 Making connection to a PC

The camera can be used in two different modes when connected to your computer:

1. Mass Storage Device (MSD)
MSD mode allows you to use the camera just like a standard storage device
where you can copy, delete and move files to and from the camera just as a
normal disk drive. To activate switch the Mode Dial of your camera to
PLAYBACK mode (3, figure 4).

2. PC Camera
PC Camera mode allows you to use the camera as a standard PC video
camera like the kind used for video teleconferencing, security, videophones,
and so on. To activate switch the Mode Dial of your camera to CAMERA
mode (1, figure 4).

Both MSD and PC Camera mode may only be used once you have connected the
camera to your PC with the supplied USB cable.

7.1.5 Moving Photos to a PC

When connected to your computer in MSD mode, the digital camera behaves exactly
like any another disk drive attached to your computer. This makes copying the
images to your hard drive as easy as copying files from a floppy disk, zip drive or
CD-ROM.

To copy photos to your computer:

1. Connect the digital camera to the computer with the USB cable.

2. Switch the Mode Dial of your camera in PLAYBACK mode.

3. Turn on the camera.

4. Open Windows Explorer. The contents of your computer will be displayed,
including all your disk drives, and, if the camera is connected properly, an
extra disk drive representing the camera's memory called “Removable Disk.”

5. Select the digital camera drive. The camera’s photos are listed. Select the
photos and drag and drop them onto your computer’s hard disk.

UK

7.1.6 Using as a PC Camera

To use the camera as a PC Camera, you switch the Mode dial of your camera to PC

Camera mode

and then connect it to the computer via the USB port.

When connected, the camera may be used in conjunction with any commercially
available video capture software to create your own home videos. Then you can edit
and distribute your video files across the Internet or save them on CD-ROM for later
viewing on your PC or with a VCD/DVD player.

7.2 Connecting to a Mac

Note: There is limited support for MAC OS built-in at this date. You will be

able to get pictures and video clips from the camera, but the webcam
function is not supported in MAC-OS. Visit www.trust.com/13674 to
see if there is any updated driver available.

7.2.1 General info

1. Check if your MAC complies with the following system requirements: MAC
OS 9.0 or later, one free USB port.

2. You might need additional software to edit your pictures as the software
included with the camera is designed for a PC with Windows.

3. The recorded video clips are in a format designed for a PC and might not
play correctly on Mac’s without additional software for playing media files.

7.2.2 Getting your pictures

1. Make sure your computer is turned on.

2. Turn the MODE switch to the PLAYBACK position.

3. Connect the camera to your MAC. An extra folder will be added to your
desktop. Your pictures are stored in this folder.

4. Open this folder to access your pictures and video clips.

5. In MAC OS X, the image capture will be activated automatically to easily
import your pictures into the ‘Pictures’ folder on yo ur system.

Tip: Mac OS w ill automatically display th e camera’s internal memory w hen

there is no SD / MMC card present. When there is a memory card
present in your camera, its contents will be displa yed instead until you
remove it.

7.2.3 Formatting

You could both format the camera’s internal memory and the external memory card
with your MAC. Use only the DOS-format. However, it’s recommended using the
camera’s format function to format the memo ry.

Do not format the camera’s memory when you using Mac OS 10.2 (Jaguar) or
higher, because this OS can only format HFS and UNIX formats, which are not
compatible with your camera.
