PDC 2000/3000 Repair Manual
Tethered operation refers to operation of the camera while it is connected to a computer. The
PDC-2000/T has no internal storage and must be connected to a computer to be operable.
Instead of storing images internally, it immediately transfers them to the computer as they are
captured.

Features

The PDC-2000 is designed for completely automatic, point-and-shoot operation. It
automatically sets exposure, focus and flash mode based on ambient light and distance to the
subject. Manual overrides are available for setting focus to infinity, setting flash mode to on or
off, and setting white balance to daylight, incandescent or fluorescent. A backlight-
compensation setting is also available.
The camera is capable of transferring its images to the computer in either of two resolutions:
(1) standard (800x600 dpi) and high (1600x1200 dpi). Both resolution modes are 24-bit color.
Because the camera always stores enough raw image data to produce the high resolution
images, resolution is not selected until pictures are being transferred to the computer.
Power for the camera is provided by four AA rechargeable NiCad batteries. These batteries
can be charged in the camera, using the battery charger provided with the camera. The
camera is operable while the batteries are charging.
An LCD panel on the camera provides information about time and date, camera status,
remaining battery capacity and error conditions. Time and date are recorded in the header of
each picture file, and on-camera controls allow the user to attach an additional alphanumeric
label to each picture file header. Time, date, label, and camera status transfer with the image
to the computer to aid identification and troubleshooting.
