Setting The Shutter Speed - Epson PhotoPC User Manual

You can adjust this time period by connecting the camera to your
computer and using PhotoPC settings. Follow these steps:
1
Connect the camera to your computer and open the Setup screen as
described on page 5-1.
The Auto Shut-off slider is set to 1 minute, as shown on page 5-2.
2
Drag the slider to the left to reduce the time period, and to the right
to increase it.
As you move the slider, the number of minutes is shown on the
screen. You can select from 0 to 5 minutes. If you select 0, the
camera shuts off immediately after your picture is captured and
saved to memory. When you turn it back on, you have just 30
seconds to take a picture after the standby light stops flashing.
Auto Shut-off takes place after 5 minutes when the camera is
connected to your computer. You can't change this time period.

When you are finished, click OK.

Setting the Shutter Speed

When the camera is connected to your computer, you can use PhotoPC
Settings to adjust the shutter speed. Slower shutter speeds allow more
light to strike the lens; faster speeds allow you to take "stop-action"
pictures of moving subjects. Shutter speed settings remain in effect only
while the camera is connected to your computer.
The factory setting for PhotoPC is Auto, which means that the shutter
speed is adjusted automatically based on the amount of light available to
the camera. You will probably want to use this setting most of the time,
unless you are planning to take stop-action pictures or use special
lighting effects.
NOTE
When you adjust the shutter speed manually, you can't use the auto flash
setting on the camera. To take a picture with the flash, you have to use
the forced flash setting.
To set the shutter speed, follow these steps:
1
Connect the camera to your computer and open the Setup screen as
described above.
