Taking Pictures With The Viewfinder - Epson PhotoPC 650 User Manual

Taking Pictures with the Viewfinder

You can capture an image with the PhotoPC 650 as you
would with any point-and-shoot auto-focus camera: look
through the viewfinder and snap the two-step shutter.
However, you can also use the LCD monitor to preview your
picture as you take it; see page 2-6 for instructions.
Follow these steps to take a picture with the viewfinder:
1
Make sure you are at least 12 inches (0.3 m) away from
your subject. (If you want to get closer, use macro mode
as described on page 2-10.)
2
Turn the camera on and wait until the status light turns
green and stays on.

3
Look straight through the viewfinder and center your
subject within it.
NOTE
For best results, use the LCD monitor to take macro mode
pictures; see page 2-10 for instructions. If you use the
viewfinder for macro or close-up pictures, you'll need to
allow space around the image to compensate for any
parallax shift (the difference between what you see in the
viewfinder and the captured image).
4
Hold the shutter button halfway down to lock the auto
focus. You hear a click and the status light changes from
green to orange. While holding the shutter button
down, you can reframe your picture and move your
subject off-center if you want.

Press the shutter button the rest of the way down to take
the picture.
6
Hold the camera still until it beeps and the status light
starts flashing red. The flashing red light indicates that
the camera has captured the image and is processing it.
