ments are met. Actual performance depends on the design specifications and system environment
of the computer. The following recommendations may improve the performance of your computer
while using the interval drive mode:
1) Close all other applications when using DiMAGE Capture.
2) Disable all RAM-stationed programs.
3) Only use the Extra Fine, Fine, or Standard image-quality settings.
4) Set the image size to 2080x1560, 1600x1200, or 640x480.
