Taking Close-Up Pictures - Epson PhotoPC 500 User Manual

When the red light stops flashing, the image is saved. Saved
images remain in memory for up to a year, even when the
camera is turned off and the batteries are removed.
You can take another picture when the red standby light
stops flashing and the green ready light is on. If the red
light flashes longer each time you take a picture, your
batteries are getting weaker.
NOTE
Remember that the camera shuts off automatically after 60
seconds. To turn the camera back on, either slide the power switch
to OFF, then ON, or press the shutter button to turn on the camera.
You will have to press the shutter button again to take a picture.

Taking Close-up Pictures

You should be at least 2 feet (60 cm) away from the subject
you are photographing. If you want to take pictures at a
closer range, you should use the PhotoPix LCD Monitor in
Macro mode or a 37 mm video camcorder close-up lens.
2-4 Using Your PhotoPC 500 Camera
For instructions for using the LCD monitor in Macro mode,
see page 11-12. For instructions on using a camcorder lens,
see page A-7.
If you use a close-up or "macro" lens for a camcorder, the
viewfinder does not give you an accurate representation of
your picture. You may want to connect the camera to your
computer and view your close-up images on the screen
before you capture them. See page 5-5 for information on
viewing and taking pictures from your computer.
You can take flash pictures within a range of 1.5 to 10 feet.
TIP
When you're taking pictures outdoors, make sure the sun is at your
back. In very bright light (at the beach or in snow, for example),
your pictures may come out too light. You can use an ND filter to
reduce the light. See page A-7 for information.
