Normal Mode Description
Normal Mode is used for observation with ATLAS. When the user powers up ATLAS, it always
starts in Normal Mode. For controls available in Normal Mode see Table 2 above.
The following functions are supported in Normal Mode:
Taking Photos
Pressing and quickly releasing
Power / Photo
switch captures the image and saves it in the
ATLAS memory. Saved pictures can be later viewed under Gallery in Menu Mode. Images can
be downloaded later to a PC using the optional USB cable and software. Image Capture
function is turned off by default. It can be enabled under the System Settings Menu in Menu
Mode.
Zoom
The ATLAS features digital zoom (E-Zoom). E-Zoom is activated by pressing the switch marked
with a magnifying glass symbol (Switch (2)). E-Zoom is used to magnify the center area of the
image. The E-Zoom sequence allows the user to select multiple e-zoom factors. When the system
is turned on, ATLAS will display images without any digital magnification. When the E-Zoom
switch is pressed, ATLAS will sequence through 2X then 4X zoom then return to 1X. An indicator
in the lower left corner of the display shows the current zoom setting.
