TRUST 350FS POWERC@M FLASH
obtained with sufficient light. Also make sure that a specific subject is not fully
illuminated by, for example, a bright sun, whilst the rest of the photograph is less
illuminated. This can result in overexposure. The best solution is to take test
photographs of various situations and subjects and to look at these so that you get a
feeling of which situations produce a photograph which is acceptable to you.

Setting the flash
The flash of the Trust 350FS PowerC@m Flash has two settings, i.e.
OFF
and Auto
.
The default setting when the camera is turned on is OFF.
The flash is set to AUTO as follows.
1.
Turn the camera on by pressing the ON/OFF button (7). A beep will be heard
when the camera is turned on.
2.
Press the MODE button (2) seven times until
starts to flash on the
LCD screen (9). A beep will be heard each time the MODE button is pressed.
3.
Once the desired setting has been found, press the SELECT button (8) until
two beeps are heard.
The camera has now been set to the desired flash setting.
NOTE:
When the camera is turned off, either by using the ON/OFF button or
when it turns off automatically, the flash will return to the OFF setting
when the camera is turned back on. You will then have to set the flash
as described in chapter 6.5.
You can repeat the procedure given above to turn the flash off again.
NOTE:
Using the flash will cause the batteries to become empty more quickly,
because the flash uses a lot of energy. It is also possible that the
charging time will take longer the more the flash is used. The flash will
be automatically deactivated a couple of minutes after the flash can no
longer be charged as a result of the batteries having insufficient power.
You can take approximately 1500 photographs using the flash with
new Duracell Ultra batteries (type AA).
NOTE:
The flash on your camera gives the best result at a distance of
between 1 and 2.5 metres. This is due to the light sensitivity of the
optical sensor and because it is not an active flash (the light strength
cannot be controlled). Shorter or longer distances may cause
overexposure or underexposure respectively. Try to take this into
consideration as much as possible when using the flash.
NOTE:
You may get the ‘Red Eye’ effect in your photographs when using the
flash. This is when people in photographs have red eyes when the
flash is used.
This problem can be solved by using an image editing program to alter
the colour of the eyes.
6.6 Automatic

be used to take photographs with a time delay of 10 seconds.
