Using Advanced Features

NOTE

Taking pictures from your Macintosh with live preview uses a lot of

battery power. If you don’t have the PhotoPC AC adapter, you may want

to buy it. See Appendix A for more information about obtaining and

using the AC adapter.

The Auto Shut-off feature remains in effect when the camera is

connected to your Macintosh (except when you use live preview).

However, the camera is shut off after 5 minutes of inactivity. To turn the

camera back on, slide the power switch off and on again.

Follow these steps to take pictures from your Macintosh:

1

Connect the camera to your Macintosh as described in Chapter 3.

2

Position the camera so that it faces the subject. Using a tripod gives

you maximum flexibility in setting up your shots.

3

Turn on both the camera and your Macintosh system.

4

Double-click the EasyPhoto icon. A gallery appears.

5

Click the Add Photos to Gallery button. The PhotoPC screen

appears.

6

Click the Camera Options button. The Camera Controls window

appears, as shown on page 5-7.

7

Click Show Live Preview to display your image in the viewfinder

window.

You can move or tilt the camera until you see the image you want

to capture in the window. The image is updated every three

seconds.
