How do I take a Picture with ECam?

Taking a picture with ECam is easy. Simply turn ECam on, look

at your subject through the viewfinder, and press the shutter

button.

1. Turn ECam onby sliding the Power button (Item 1) to the

right. When the camera powers-up, you will hear two short

beeps ("beep-beep").

2. Look through the viewfinder (Item 9).

3. To take a picture, press the shutter button (item 2), just

like a traditional camera. Each time ECam takes a picture

successfully you will hear a single "beep". This is called the

confirmation tone. ECam is very fast. ECam can save your

images almost as fast as you can press the shutter again!

Note: If by chance, ECam is not quite ready to take the next

picture you will hear three short "boop" tones ("boop-boop-

boop). ECam is telling you that it is not ready -or -it is too dark

to take a good picture.

How many Pictures Can ECam take?

ECam can hold twenty-four (24) pictures. When ECam's

memory is full, the red LED (item 12) will be bright, steady red.

Once ECam's memory is filled, you must erase them before

taking new ones. After your erase these 24 pictures you can

reuse ECam's memory over and over thousands of times. It's

like have an endless roll of film! To save your images

permanently, transfer them from ECam to your PC.

A technical note just for Kids: ECam's memory is "volatile". This

means that ECam requires a small amount of battery power to

keep your pictures in memory. If you remove or change the

battery you will loose your images.

How do I Know when ECam'sMemory is Full?

ECam has two ways of telling you that memory is full.

1) After you have taken your twentieth (20th)image you will

hear a warning tone. After you take the 20th picture you will

hear the normal single beep (the confirmation tone),

immediately followed by a short burst of four short beeps.

2) After you have taken your twenty-fourth (24th)image you will

see the red LED on the back of ECam turn bright red.

ECam is saying, "Stop! Memory is full."

How do I Erase Pictures so I can take more?

Erasing old pictures is simple. There are three ways.

1) Every time you transfer images from ECam to your

computer, the images will be moved out of ECam to your

computer and now ECam is "empty" and ready to take 24

more images.

2) If ECam's memory is full, the red LED on the back (item 12)

will be a bright,steady. You can erase all 24 images if you

hold the shutter button (item 2) for more than three

seconds. You will hear many rapid beeps and the Red LED

will turn off. ECam memory is now empty.

3) You can open the battery door and remove the battery for

several seconds. This will erase all images in ECam's

memory even if memory was not full.

What do the red LEDs Mean?

If you see this -ECam is saying -

The LED on the back of ECam

is a bright, steady RED ECam'smemory is full. All 24

images have been taken

The LED on the front of ECam

is flashing ECam is going to take a picture in

self timer mode, after the tenth
