Epson PhotoPC 3100Z - Manual (Page 29)

Taking Pictures 2-4
The screen looks different if you’re using Full Auto or
Manual user mode. (See page 1-10 to change your user
mode setting.)
NOTE
If you’re using batteries, the camera shuts off automatically
after a designated period of inactivity. (The default is 30
seconds. See page 7-2 to set the auto power off time.)
When it is connected to the AC adapter, the camera shuts
off after 15 minutes. If the image on your LCD screen
disappears, press the shutter button to “wake” the camera.
4 Using the preview image to guide you, make changes to
the settings on the screen, if you like.
NOTE
You can also use the camera’s control buttons to change
the image quality, flash setting, or timer. (See the following
sections for details on these settings.)
5 Push the T (telephoto) button to zoom in on your
subject, or the W (wide angle) button to zoom out. You
see a display with green zoom steps and the current
zoom position in yellow.
NOTE
If digital zooming is enabled, the slider pauses in the middle.
If you keep zooming beyond the midpoint of the slider, you
are using the digital zoom. (See page 4-1 for details.)
6 Center your subject on the screen, then
press the shutter button halfway down to
lock the auto focus and exposure.
You see a green circle on the screen when the lens
locks in focus and the camera locks its exposure settings.
While holding the shutter button down, you can
reframe your picture.
7 Press the shutter button the rest of the
way down to take the picture.
