Setting the Macro button
The Trust 350FT PowerC@m Flash has a Macro function which is set by sliding the MACRO button (10)
upwards or downwards.
The functions are described in the table below.
Standard mode (90 cm to infinity).
Macro mode (25 cm ~ 30 cm). For taking close-up photographs. The
MACRO LED (13) is lit when the camera is set to this function using the
MACRO button (10).

The optical sensor has a certain degree of light sensitivity. In less light, it can cause more
noise
to be visible
in the darker parts of your photograph. This is standard for this type of sensor and will, therefore, produce a
result which is fully comparable to other types or brands. Take this into consideration, where possible. The
best result is 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 350FT 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 position when the camera is turned back on again.
You will then have to set the flash as described in chapter 5.4.
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. When using new Duracell Ultra
batteries (type AA), you can take approximately 900 photographs with the flash and approximately
1,200 photographs without the flash.
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.
