INTRODUCTION

Document Camera Features

•Business Shot Mode

Record images of documents (A4 size), business cards,

display panels, whiteboard contents, and more with the

touch of a button. Recorded images can then be

incorporated into presentations.

•Auto Trapezoid Correction

In the Business Shot Mode, auto trapezoid correction

automatically corrects distortion of an image caused

when the camera is at an angle to the subject when you

record it.

•Trapezoid Correction

In other modes, you can perform manual trapezoid

correction. You can save the corrected image to a

separate file from the original image.

Digital Camera Features

•4.0 million Effective Pixels

A high-resolution megapixel CCD provides 4.0 million

effective pixels (4.23 million total pixels) for images that

print beautifully.

•2.0-inch TFT color LCD monitor screen

•12X seamless zoom

3X optical zoom, 4X digital zoom

•10MB Flash memory

Images can be recorded without using a memory card.

•Multi Auto Focus

When “Multi”is selected for the Auto Focus area, the

camera takes simultaneous meter readings at seven

different points and automatically selects the best one.

This makes it possible to avoid erroneous focusing on the

background, and ensure proper focus for a wide range of

image types.

•Pan Focus

This feature lets you lock the focus point and ensures that

you do not miss that special moment when it happens.

•Support for SD memory cards and MMC (MultiMedia

Cards) for memory expansion

INTRODUCTION

•Easy Charging

Just place the camera onto the USB cradle to charge its

battery.

•Easy Image Transfer

Transfer images to a computer simply by placing the

camera onto the USB cradle.

•Photo Stand feature

A slideshow of images in file memory can be played while

the camera is on its USB cradle.

•BESTSHOT

Simply select the sample scene that matches the type of

image you are trying to record and the camera performs

troublesome setups automatically for beautiful pictures

every time.

•Coupling Shot and Pre-shot

Coupling Shot lets you combine two subjects into a single

image, while Pre-shot lets you add a subject to a

previously recorded background image. This means you

can create images that include you and your friend, even

if you are the only two people around. You can use

Coupling Shot and Pre-shot by selecting the applicable

sample images in the BESTSHOT mode.

•Image Roulette Feature

Images cycle like a slot machine on the display until one

of them remains.

•Triple Self-timer mode

The self-timer can be set up to repeat three times,

automatically.

•Real-time histogram

An on-screen histogram lets you adjust exposure as you

view the effect on overall image brightness, which makes

shooting under difficult lighting conditions easier than

ever before.

•World Time

A simple operation sets the current time for your current

location. You can select from among 162 cities in 32 time

zones.

•Alarm

A built-in alarm helps to keep you on time for important

events, and even can be used in place of an alarm clock.

You can also have a specific image appear, or an audio

file to play when the alarm time is reached.

•Album Function

HTML files are generated automatically to create an

album of recorded images. Album contents can be viewed

and printed using a standard Web browser. Images can

also be incorporated into Web pages quickly and easily.
