Taking Flash Pictures
For flash photography, you should set the camera up so that the distance to the subject is approximately
6 ft. If the camera is too close to the subject the image will be overexposed.
Once the camera is set up, adjust the manual focus control on the lens to bring the subject into sharp
focus.
When you first connect the camera and flash module to the PC it will take approximately 15 seconds for
the flash unit to charge. Full charge is indicated when the small amber light on the rear of the flash
module is on. Re-charging between flash pictures takes only a second or two.
To take flash pictures, click on the “Take Snapshot” option from the file menu. You will see the flash light
come on and a still image frame will be captured and stored in the assigned snapshot folder.
Please refer to section 8.3.7 for still image capture instructions.

Adjusting the Flash intensity
If the flash intensity is too high, it can be reduced simply by turning the control knob on the side of the
flash module.
Moving the control towards the front of the unit will increase the flash intensity, moving it towards the
back will decrease the intensity.
