Camera Operation
This section covers basic camera operations. The information can also be found in Chapter 2
of the Apple QuickTake 200 owner’s manual.
Adjusting the LCD Screen Brightness
Use the brightness dial on the bottom of the camera to set the LCD screen to a visible
brightness.
Note: While taking pictures indoors, the brightness of an image might be affected by the
flicker of fluorescent lighting.
Important: The brightness dial does not adjust the brightness of images that you have already
taken; it only adjusts the brightness of the LCD screen.
Using the Camera Mode Dial
The mode dial on the top of the camera provides eight settings (represented by icons) that let
you choose how you want your camera to work.
Record-Fine and Record Modes
You take pictures by turning the mode dial to either Record-Fine ( ) for highest-quality
images or Record ( ) for good-quality images.
• In Record-Fine ( ) mode, high-quality images have 640x480 pixels resolution, and
you can take up to 20 high-quality pictures. Use Record-Fine mode to print or display
the image when you want to preserve the details of the image.
• In Record ( ) mode, good-quality images have 640x480 pixels resolution, and you can
take up to 30 standard-quality pictures. Use Record mode when you don’t need to show as
much detail.
You can mix high-quality and standard-quality images on the camera—all in 24-bit color.
The camera holds a maximum of 30 images.

The photographed image is displayed for about 5 to 8 seconds. “REC” or “REC-FINE” (to
indicate the camera is recording) appears flashing in the upper-left corner of the LCD
screen.
