Other Important Features of your new QuickClix 3185 Digital Camera
1.
Internal Memory:
Your camera is equipped with built in storage of 16 MB that is designed
as a starter memory only and can hold only 8 images. We strongly recommend that you
purchase and use a SD memory card (electronic film!) to store your images. The QC 3185
can operate with SD cards ranging from 16 MB to as much as 512 MB SD card which will
hold hundreds of images.
2.
Self Timer:
Be in the picture with your friends! The Argus QuickClix 3185 has a built in 10
second self timer which can be accessed by clicking the menu button “M/ON/OFF” once to
access the menu, press “M/ON/OFF” a second time to scroll over to the self timer icon, and
then press the shutter button down to confirm. The camera resets to the self-timer off
position once it has been used.
3.
Rapid Fire and 3 photos taken in succession:
Your new QuickClix 3185 camera lets you
capture 3 images in quick succession. To enter the Rapid Fire mode, press the “M/ON/OFF”
button four times until you see the Rapid Fire icon (backwards E). Press the shutter button
and the camera will capture 3 quick rapid fire images.
4.
Changing Image Resolution:
Your QuickClix 3185 camera can capture images in 3.2 Mega
Pixel, 2 Mega Pixel, and VGA modes. This is very important for storage and usage
considerations. If you want to take lots of images on a very small SD card (32 MB or 64
MB), then you may want to use the VGA or 2 Mega Pixel resolution. These images will be
just fine for use on the computer screen or in e-mails but will not be as good for printing. If
you plan to print the images with the best possible quality, then consider using the 3.2 Mega
Pixel resolution.
To change the resolution, turn the camera on, select “M/ON/OFF” and then select “Preview.”
A little box will appear on the LCD screen with stars in it. You can change the resolution /
number of stars by scrolling up or down with the UP or DOWN buttons. To confirm, press
“Preview”
*** = 3.2 Million Pixel resolution (Best)
** = 2 Million Pixel resolution (Better)
* = VGA (or 307 K) resolution (Good)
