Taking Pictures With The Timer - Epson PhotoPC600 User Manual

Forced Flash
The flash goes off with every picture you take. Use this
setting to compensate for backlighting; for example,
when you are facing a light source.
After you take a flash picture, the icon blinks until the flash is
fully recharged. Your flash setting remains in effect even after
you turn off the camera.
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
Image Expert or other image editing software to correct most
over-exposure problems.

Taking Pictures With the Timer

Setting the timer creates a 10-second delay between
the time you press the shutter button and the actual
image capture. This allows you to take a picture of yourself.
Follow these steps to take a picture with the timer:
1
Secure the camera on a flat surface or on a tripod. (See
page A-3 for information on attaching the camera to a
tripod.)
2
Turn on the camera and wait until the status light turns
green.
3
Press the timer button. The timer icon appears on the
display panel.
4
Press the shutter button. The timer icon and the red
timer light on the front of the camera flash slowly for
8 seconds. Then they flash rapidly for 2 seconds before
the shutter is released.
The camera beeps when the image is captured. The
status light on the back of the camera flashes red as
PhotoPC 600 processes the image. When the status light
stops flashing and turns green, you can take another
picture.
5
To turn off the timer, press the timer button again or
turn off the camera.
