Controlling the Camera Mode Image
You can use the following procedures to adjust the brightness, to specify the
type of lighting present when recording an image, and to configure the
camera timer.
Adjusting Image Brightness
The watch automatically sets the brightness of the image when you record it.
You can also change the brightness level manually when you want to
compensate for backlighting of the subject, very dark backgrounds, etc.
To adjust image brightness
Before recording an image in the Camera
Mode, use E (brighter, moves indicator to
the right) and B (darker, moves indicator
to the left) to adjust the brightness of the
image.
• You can set brightness to one of 15
levels. The initial default level is 8.
• It may take some time after you press
B or E before the change in
brightness is reflected on the displayed
image.
• A brightness setting you make remains
in effect until you change it or exit the
Camera Mode. Automatic brightness
adjustment is the initial default whenever
you enter the Camera Mode.
Important!
Even with manual brightness adjustment, you may not be able to obtain an
acceptable image when recording images under very bright or very dark
lighting conditions.
Specifying the Lighting Type
The type of lighting present when recording, greatly affects the resulting
image. You can use the procedure below to set up the watch for shooting
indoors or outdoors, which helps to ensure proper brightness for recorded
images.
