The iCAM501 will analyse a taken picture for brightness. If the picture is correctly
illuminated, all 3 LEDs will simultaneously flash on and then off 3 consecutive times
along with the internal buzzer making an audible "beep". The LED sequence that will
occur is shown below (the buzzer also sounding at sequence 1, 3 and 5).
If the picture was taken in poor lighting conditions (either too dark or too bright) the
LEDs will flash in the sequence indicated below and no audible beep will occur. If this
occurs you will need to take a picture using the flash feature described below or
improve the ambient lighting conditions.
The iCAM501 will still store the picture even if it is flagged up as being poor quality.
The reason for this is that factors such as the lighting conditions may mean it is not
possible to get a perfect picture and a poor one is better than no picture. However it
is strongly recommended that another picture is taken.
If the flash is required when taking a picture in low lighting conditions, turn the flash
on as indicated in the above section and wait until the red LED stays constantly on.
Note the flash can take up to 20 seconds to fully charge when the batteries are part
used. Once the red LED has turned solid the iCAM501 is then ready to take a picture
in the same way as if the flash was not enabled (the flash will automatically trigger
when the picture is being taken).
2.8.3 Image blur analysis feature
The December 2010 release of the iCAM501 firmware has an additional image blur
analysis feature. Images are analysed for characteristics of blurring, and given a
score, which is in turn compared with a threshold based on the average light level in
the image. Good or bad images are indicated using the LED sequence previously
described.
