Choosing Your User Mode
The PhotoPC 3000Z has three user modes to give you
different levels of control over the camera settings. To use
more advanced features, such as white balance and exposure
adjustment, you must be in Program mode or Manual mode.
Program
This setting is recommended for photographers
who want a moderate amount of control over the camera’s
functions. This is the camera’s default mode. Programmed
subjects (Normal, Sports, Portrait, and Landscape) tailor
your camera settings to the type of picture you’re taking. You
can also make adjustments to sensitivity, white balance, and
exposure.
Manual
This mode is for experienced photographers who
want complete control over the camera’s wide array of
settings and features. In addition to changing sensitivity and
white balance, you can adjust the shutter speed and aperture,
choose a spot or matrix metering system, and focus the
camera to three feet, ten feet, or infinity.
Full Auto
In this mode, the camera chooses most settings
for you. You can simply point and shoot, or you can adjust
some basic settings (for example: image quality, digital zoom,
macro mode and panoramic mode).
Follow these steps to choose the camera mode:
1
Turn the dial to and press the
POWER
button to
turn on the camera. You see the SETUP menu:
2
Press the button next to the current user mode to cycle
through the three user modes.
NOTE
Your user mode stays in effect until you change the setting. If
your camera is without battery power for over one hour, the user
mode will go back to the Program mode setting.
