Trouble Shooting

• Turning off the power will cause the loss of all stored photos. Please make sure you have
uploaded the important photos before the switch is turned to off without the USB power
provided.
• If you disconnect the USB cable during operation, you need to close the Acquire dialog panel
and then re-open it again for the PC to recognize the unit.
• The camera is set to your country's AC mains frequency. If you use it in another country with
different frequency (either 50 or 60Hz), you should not take the photo under the lamp.Black
strips of line will be seen in the picture due to incorrect mains frequency. It is no problem
under the sunlight.
• The camera will turn off automatically after 30 seconds without pressing the buttons. This
can save the battery life. You need not to take off the battery when it is not in use. Just take
off it if the pictures are uploaded or you will not use it for a long time, say 2 days or more.
• When the LCD is blinking, it means the battery power is low. You need to change batteries.
You can take up to all 20 photos even it is blinking. Then upload the photos to the PC and
change the empty batteries.
• It is not recommended to use re-chargeable batteries. Because the output voltage is lower
than the alkaline battery. It will get battery low easily.
• If the PC cannot recognize the camera when you run the Photo program, you need to dis-
connect and re-connect the USB cord to the camera.
• You will hear a 'Gi' sound and the Digital Camera will not function to take a photo if the
environment is too dark. Try to use spot light or turn on the fluorescent lamp to get more
light.
• After power on, it will take about 2 seconds to initialize the internal set-up. Then you will see
the number of pictures remained. So it cannot take the picture immediately after power on or
awake from sleep mode.
• You would better to adjust the gamma of your monitor through some programs to fine tune
the color in order to get a vivid photo on the monitor. Actually, the Photo Studio has the
gamma adjustment to the photo.
