1.2 Key Camera Settings and Features
When using a camera for casual photography, it is up to the user to decide which features are
important. In clinical photography, which is not casual at all, certain features and settings must be
used correctly to achieve clinical success.
This section describes a number of these clinically important features and settings and their
importance in a clinical situation. For some of these features, the sequence of operation is
graphically depicted as an aid to quick learning.
Note: See Appendix A for a full list of menu settings and defaults.
1.2.1 Verifying Camera Date and Time
When it comes to documenting a patient's condition, the date and time an event took place is an
important piece of clinical information. The digital image files generated by digital cameras
include the date and time when the files were created. Thus, when you take a photograph of an
injury, the exact date and time when you took the photograph is in fact documented–it is
automatically included in the digital file.
To ensure that the correct date and time information is captured, it is important to verify that the
date and time settings in the camera are correct. It is a good practice to check the camera's date
and time once a day. Figure 10 graphically depicts the sequence for setting the camera date and
time (specifically, advancing the minutes from 54 to 58).
Note: This procedure is given in a step-by-step format in Section 2.1.1.

Digital Camera
When the camera is in the docking station, pressing the
Connect button notifies the computer that the camera is ready
to communicate.
Note: this step is necessary before images can be downloaded
into a case. Attempting to download an image before the
Connect button is pushed will cause a message to be
displayed.
When the AFHCAN Cart is powered up and the camera is in
the docking station, flashes to indicate charging and illuminates
steady to indicate fully charged.
Note: the camera is normally turned off when in the cradle.
