Controlling the Camera Mode Image
You can use the following procedures to adjust the brightness and to specify
the type of lighting present when recording an image.
Adjusting the Image Brightness
The watch automatically sets the brightness of the image when you record it.
You can also change the brightness level manually when you want to
compensate for backlighting of the subject, very dark backgrounds, etc.
To adjust image brightness
When composing an image on the display, use
B
(darker) and
E
(lighter) to adjust its
brightness.
•
You can set brightness to one of 15 levels.
The initial default level is 8.
•
It may take some time after you press
B
or
E
before the change in brightness is
reflected on the displayed image.
•
A brightness setting you make remains in
effect until you change it or exit the Camera
Mode. Automatic brightness adjustment is
the initial default whenever you enter the
Camera Mode.
Important!
•
Even with manual brightness adjustment, you may not be able to obtain an
acceptable image when recording images under very bright or very dark
lighting conditions.
Specifying the Lighting Type
The type of lighting present when recording, greatly affects the resulting
image. Besides the difference between outdoor and indoor lighting, there is
also a difference between indoor lighting types.
Though you cannot see it, light produced by indoor lighting fixtures actually
flickers at a fixed rate, which is the same as the cycle of the lighting fixture’s
AC power (50Hz or 60Hz). You can use the following procedure to tell the
watch the type of lighting you are using, so it can make necessary
adjustments that ensure best results.
To specify the lighting type
In the Camera Mode, press
A
to cycle through the available lighting type
settings as shown below.
•
The lighting type setting screen remains on the display for about one
second. After that, it returns to the normal Camera Mode screen.
•
A lighting type setting you make remains in effect until you change it or exit
the Camera Mode. Outdoor lighting is the initial default whenever you enter
the Camera Mode.
Recording Modes
There are three recording modes that you can use to produce the type of
image you want.
Normal Mode
This mode records images using 16 grayscales. It is the normal default mode.
Merge Mode
This mode lets you merge two separately recorded images into a single
image.
Art Mode
This mode records images in two-tone monochrome.
Darker
Lighter
To select the recording mode
In the Camera Mode, press
C
to cycle through the available recording
modes as shown below.
•
The recording mode you select remains in effect until you change it or exit
the Camera Mode. The Normal Mode is the initial default whenever you
enter the Camera Mode.
To record using the Merge Mode
1. In the Camera Mode, press
C
once to
select the Merge Mode.
2. Compose the first image, and then press
F
to record it.
•
This records the first image on the left half
of the display.
3. Compose the second image, and then
press
F
to record it.
•
This records the second image on the right
half of the display, and stores both images
in memory.
Important!
•
A Merge Mode image that has only a left side cannot be stored in memory.
Note
•
Before pressing
F
in steps 2 and 3 of the above procedure, you can use
the procedure (“To adjust image brightness”) to adjust the brightness of the
image.
To record using the Art Mode
1. In the Camera Mode, press
C
twice to select the Art Mode.
2. Compose the image, and then press

VISUAL DATABANK™ MODE
Besides viewing images, you can use the VISUAL DATABANK Mode to
delete images, to attach text to images, etc.
Important!
•
The watch does not emit any alarm, Hourly Time Signal, or Countdown
Alarm sound while it is in the VISUAL DATABANK Mode. Instead, the
message ALM flashes in the upper left corner of the display when an alarm
time is reached, and the message TMR flashes when the countdown
reaches zero.
To view recorded images
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, press
D
to enter the VISUAL DATABANK
Mode.
•
The first image that appears is the one you just recorded or the one that
was on the display when you last exited the Viewer Screen or the VISUAL
DATABANK Mode.
2. Use
E
(+) and
B
(–) to scroll through the
images currently in memory.
•
Holding down either button scrolls at high
speed.
•
Press
C
to toggle display of the recording
date and time (and attached text, if any) of
the displayed image on and off.
3. Press
D
five times to return to the
Timekeeping Mode.
•
The watch automatically switches to the
Timekeeping Mode if you do not perform
any operation for about two minutes in the
VISUAL DATABANK Mode.
Note
•
You can use the procedure under “Image Sorting” for information about
how images are sorted when they are stored in memory.
•
The image may appear somewhat dark while the recording date and time
(and attached text, if any) are on the display.
