Epson PhotoPC L-410 Using Memory Cards You can take pictures and save them in the camera without a memory card. However, you can store more pictures when you use a memory card. You can use either of the following types of cards: ❏ an SD™ card (Secure Digital) up to 512MB. (To shoot at the maximum speed, you need an SD memory card with a recording/transfer speed of 10MB/second.) ❏ an MM card (Multimedia, MMC V 2.1 or later) up to 512MB. Caution: Make sure that the camera is turned off before installing or removing a memory card. Make sure that you insert the card in the correct orientation, or you may damage the camera as well as the card. Taking and Viewing Photos You can take several different types of photos with your camera, as described below: ❏ Automatic photos: Use automatically adjusted settings for great snapshots. All you have to do is point and shoot. ❏ Manual photos: Fine-tune your shots by adjusting a variety of camera settings, including resolution, exposure compensation, sensitivity, white balance, and more. ❏ Continuous photos: Capture a series of shots, up to 3 photos per second. ❏ Videos: Record videos with sound. The length of the video is limited only by the amount of storage you have. ❏ PRINT Image Framer® (PIF) photos: Take photos with fun frames for holidays and special occasions. Taking Photos in Automatic Mode The automatic photography mode lets you capture highresolution images without making any complicated settings. You can use the zoom buttons to move in closer to your subject and/or set the flash for indoor or low-light photographs. In automatic mode, images are captured at a resolution of 2304 × 1728 pixels ( N2304). If you want to change this setting, use manual mode as described in the next section. Note: You can also use the macro and/or self-timer features in automatic mode. For instructions, see the on-screen User's Guide. Before you start, make sure the batteries are installed and the camera is turned on as described on page 2. 1. Turn the Mode dial to Automatic. 2. Make sure you are at least 20 inches (50 cm) away from your subject. ❏ To zoom in on your subject, press the T (telephoto) button. ❏ To zoom out, press the W (wide-angle) button. 3. Center your subject in the middle of the square focus frame on the screen. The default flash setting is automatic, indicated by the icon on the LCD screen. The flash will go off automatically whenever necessary. If you want to change the flash setting, press the r button. See page 4 for a list of flash settings. 4. Press and hold the shutter button halfway. The focus frame turns green and the focus is set. If you want to reframe your picture, move the camera until the photo you want appears on the screen. 5. Press the shutter button all the way down. The camera beeps as it captures the image. Note: The LCD screen may turn off to save battery power after you take a picture. Press any button or turn the Mode dial to turn the screen back on. Taking Photos in Manual Mode If you are an advanced photographer, you may want to use manual mode. This allows you to select the quality (resolution), white balance, light sensitivity, and exposure compensation. You can also select special scene modes for portraits or landscape photos, or turn the LCD screen off to save battery power. Before you start, make sure the batteries are installed and the camera is turned on, as described on page 2. 1. Turn the Mode dial to Manual. If you want to turn the LCD screen off to save battery power, press the DISP button twice. You will have to use the viewfinder instead of the screen to frame your shot. 2. If you want to adjust the quality (resolution) or other settings, press the MENU button. See page 4 for a list of available settings.
