Camera Rest Interval
Camera Mode operations consume considerable battery power. To protect
against premature rundown of the battery power, the watch automatically goes
into a rest interval, during which you will be unable to re-enter the Camera
Mode after you exit it. The length of the rest interval is equal to the amount of
time you spent in the Camera Mode before you exited it. This means that if you
exit the Camera Mode after being in it for 20 seconds, you will be unable to re-
enter the Camera Mode for about 20 seconds.
If you try to enter the Camera Mode during a rest
interval, the message WAIT appears on the display,
along with a countdown of the remaining rest interval
time.
• The maximum rest interval is 60 seconds. The
maximum rest interval may be as long as 70
seconds following recording of an image using the
camera timer .
Displayed Image Size and Memory Image Size
Though the size of images displayed by this watch is 78 × 72 dots (78 × 80
dots in the case of an image that includes the recording date and time), the
size of the image stored in memory is 176 × 144 dots. This means that after
you transfer images to your computer or another device, you can display them
with 176 × 144 dots.
Alarm, and Hourly Time Signal Sounds
The watch does not emit any alarm, or Hourly Time Signal sound while it is in
the Camera Mode.
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
1.Before recording an image in the Camera Mode,
press A twice to enter the brightness setting
screen.
2.Use E (brighter) and B (darker) to adjust the
brightness of the image. A larger brightness value
indicates a brighter setting, while a smaller value
indicates a darker setting.
• You can set brightness to one of 15 levels in the
range of –7 to +7. The initial default level is ±0.
• 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 or
change the lighting type setting.
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.
To specify the lighting type
Before recording the image in the Camera Mode, press E or B.
Use E or B to cycle through available lighting type settings in the sequence
shown below.
• You can select OUTDOOR for outdoor lighting, INDOOR for indoor lighting, or
DUSK for shooting at twilight or under other conditions where lighting is dim.
• The lighting type setting you make remains in effect until you change it or exit
the Camera Mode. OUTDOOR is the initial default whenever you enter the
Camera Mode.
• The screen refresh rate is relatively slow when DUSK is selected, which can
make changes in the image on the display appear slow.
