Argus Camera DC1500N - Manual (Page 25)

The camera is set to your country’s AC mains frequency (e.g. 60Hz for
US). If you take photos under an electric light source in another country
with a different frequency (e.g. 50Hz), you will get horizontal, black stripes
in those photos, due to incorrect mains frequency. There will be no
problems when taking photos under sunlight.
10. Can I use the camera when it is raining?
No, DO NOT use the camera under rain since the camera is not water-
resistant. Water drops may get inside the camera and damage the parts.
11. How can I get a hard copy of the User’s Manual?
The User’s Manual, named Manual.pdf, is provided in the CD-ROM in
PDF format. It can be opened and printed with Acrobat Reader. This
program, named areng40.exe, is included in the supplied CD-ROM.
Double-click on the areng40.exe icon and the installation will start
automatically. After installation, double-click the Manual.pdf icon. Acrobat
Reader will be launched for you to view the User’s Manual. To print the
manual, select File>Print from the pull-down menu.
12. Can I take photos in dark environment?
No, the camera only operates in situations of normal light intensity.
13. Is it a disposable camera?
This is not a disposable camera. You can use it whenever the battery
power and memory in the camera are available.
14. What kind of batteries should I use with this camera?
The use of alkaline batteries is recommended since they last longer and
perform better than other ordinary batteries.
15. Can I use rechargeable batteries?
The use of rechargeable batteries is not recommended since their output
voltage is lower than that of the alkaline batteries. Rechargeable batteries
get low battery power easily.
16. What should I do when I get nothing or some weird symbols on the LCD?
Check to see if the batteries are correctly inserted and the battery
compartment door is secured. If the problem persists, the batteries may be
totally dead. Replace them with new ones.
17. How come the camera is not turned on after new batteries are inserted?
• The batteries may have been inserted incorrectly.
• The camera may be broken. It may have been dropped into water or
against hard surfaces.
