Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the camera batteries last?
You should be able to take as many as 100 frames when the flash is
used in about half the shots, but this is only a rough estimate. Battery
life is affected by many variables, such as how often you use the
monitor, how often you use the flash, the type of batteries used and
environmental conditions. Using the monitor frequently will drain battery
power quickly, so keep it turned off to save power. Use of the optional
AC adaptor is recommended.
How can I set the clock in the camera for recording the date on
image data?
Date setting is not made when the camera is shipped. You must set the
date before shooting. The date can be set either from the camera or
using the CAMEDIA Master 2.0. The set date will be cancelled
approximately 1 hour after the batteries are removed from the camera.
Can I use a filter or a hood with this camera?
Such accessories cannot be connected to the camera.
Can I use an extension flash with this camera?
This camera was not designed for use with extension flash units. Also, a
slave unit may not function with this camera.
Why do the subject's eyes sometimes appear red in the pictures?
This red-eye phenomenon occurs with all cameras when shooting
people using a flash. This is caused by the light from the flash reflecting
off the back of the eye. Red-eye varies depending on the individual, as
well as shooting conditions such as ambient lighting.
Use of the Red-eye Reduction Flash Mode significantly reduces this
phenomenon.
How should I store the camera?
Cameras can be damaged by dust, moisture and salt. Wipe the camera
with a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly before storing. Do not
store with mothballs. Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the
camera for a long period of time.
