Mavica Digital Camera Instructions
|
 |
The digital camera allows you to take high-quality photos that
can be viewed immediately on your PC or television. These photos
can also be incorporated into web pages, PowerPoint presentations,
and other documents.
GENERAL INFO:
- Remember to insert a battery pack into the camera and remove
the lens cover.
- To turn camera ON -- directly below the screen on the back of
the camera is the power on/off button. Slide the button to the
right and hold there until the green light comes on signifying
that the power is on for the camera.
- To the left of the power on/off button, there is another sliding
button that can be moved into three positions depending on what
you would like to do with the camera. The three options are:
- PLAY -- allows you to examine the pictures that you have
already taken.
- STILL -- allows you to take still pictures with the camera.
- MOVIE -- allows you to capture moving images and sound.
- To turn camera OFF -- slide the power on/off button to the right
until the green light goes out. To prevent wearing down the battery
pack during recording, the camera will automatically turn off
after about 3 minutes of inoperation.
- The floppy disk may be inserted or ejected with the power ON
or the power OFF.
TO TAKE PICTURES:
- Before taking pictures, insert a 3-1/2" floppy disk into the
side of the camera. The top of the disk should face the back of
the camera while inserting. If the disk doesn't seem to insert,
you've probably got it in the wrong way.
- To take a still picture, make sure the sliding button is on
STILL. Line up the image that you wish to photograph in
the viewing screen on the back of the camera.
- On the top of the camera, there is a silver button that is the
shutter button. Below the shutter button, there is a silver sliding
button that allows you to either zoom in or zoom out on the object
that you are photographing.
- When the image is set how you want it, press the silver shutter
button and hold the camera steady. You will see a flashing green
dot appear on the viewing screen. When this is flashing, hold
the camera as still as possible so as not to blur the image that
you are taking.
- In bold red letters, the word RECORDING appears on
the viewing screen. As soon as RECORDING dissappears,
the image is saved onto the floppy disk in the camera and you
are free to take more pictures.
TO VIEW YOUR PICTURES:
- Move the sliding button on the back of the camera to PLAY
.
- If there are any pictures saved onto the disk in the camera,
it will automatically display the last picture that you took.
- Press the UP-ARROW on the circular directional pad (located
in the bottom right hand corner on the back of the camera) to
display the menu bar. The current menu bar option will be highlighted
in yellow. To change options, press the LEFT/RIGHT-ARROWS on the
circular directional pad. To select the current highlighted option,
press in the middle of the directional pad. To turn the menu bar
off, press the DOWN-ARROW on the directional pad.
- To move between the pictures saved on the floppy disk, move
the directional circle to the two arrows located above the [INDEX]
option on the menu bar and press the LEFT/RIGHT-ARROWS on the
directional pad.
- To view all of your pictures at once instead of each one individually,
highlight the [INDEX] option and press the middle of the directional
circle. This displays a layout of all the pictures on the floppy
disk.
- To display a particular picture from the index, highlight the
desired photograph and press the middle of the circular directional
pad. This layout also includes any movies that you have taken
with the camera. Those movies will have a little film negative
in the upper right hand corner.
- To delete saved pictures from the index, highlight the [DELETE]
option and press the middle of the directional pad. Press the
UP-ARROW to hightlight [SELECT] and press the RIGHT-ARROW to display
the index of saved pictures. Press the directional pad to highlight
a picture and press the middle of the directional pad. A small
green trash can displays to indicate that the picture has been
marked for deletion. Additional pictures may be selected for deletion
in the same fashion. To remove the trash can (unmark picture),
highlight the picture and press the middle of the directional
pad (trash can should vanish).
TO RECORD MOVING IMAGES & SOUNDS:
- Move the sliding button to the MOVIE option on the back
of the camera.
- When you have the image that you want to record in the viewing
screen, hold down the silver shutter button.
- There are various options for the movie setting to help you
record as easily as possible. If you just press the silver shutter
button and let go, the camera will record automatically for 5
seconds. This option can be set to 5, 10, or 15 seconds. Highlight
[FILE] on the menu bar, press UP-ARROW and highlight [REC TIME
SET]. Press RIGHT-ARROW and highlight 5, 10 or 15 seconds. Press
the middle of the directional pad to set your record time.
- If you simply hold the silver shutter button down the whole
time, you can record for up to 60 seconds.
- To view movies, follow the same directions as for viewing still
pictures. When scrolling between the images, the movie clips will
be smaller than the still picture size. When a movie is selected,
a play button appears above the [INDEX] option and the left and
right arrow buttons. To view the movie, highlight the play button
and press the middle of the directional pad.
