Getting icons to appear on TV screen Setting of frame protection Erase Information on Frame protection Image quality mode Frame number Index playback Slide show Select a desired icon with the SELECT button. In the condition that a TV set is used to play back pictures, available functions are limited to those mentioned below. When a picture is played back with a TV set, data and time when the picture was taken don't appear on the screen. Only four icons that respectively represent "Setting of frame protection", "Erase", "Index playback" and "Slide show" functions can be shown on a TV screen, and two of them can be shown on the screen at a time. For selecting other functions, disconnect the TV set and select a desired function with the picture appearing on the LCD monitor. For details of respective functions, refer to explanation of "Applied operation". Don't connect/disconnect video output cord to/from the video port during setting operation, otherwise previous setting is canceled. Don't connect/disconnect the video output cord while the card access warning lamp is on, otherwise the CF card or stored data may be damaged. Picture can be double zoomed-in on a TV screen. If the video output cord is connected/disconnected to/from the video port during index playback, the picture that is selected at that time appears without the frame number on the display (LCD monitor or TV set) switched on by connection/disconnection of the video output cord, and the index playback is automatically canceled at the same time. When the video output cord is connected/disconnected to/from the video port during index playback, it takes a considerably long time to switch the display to show the picture. Each time the SELECT button ( or ) is pressed, the indicator bar moves step by step. When the SELECT button is continuously pressed, the indicator bar moves leftwards to decrease exposure time (under-exposure). When the SET button is pressed in this status, the "through image" is darkened. When the SELECT button is continuously pressed, the indicator bar moves rightwards to increase exposure time (over-exposure). When the SET button is pressed in this status, the "through image" is brightened. * If the MENU button is pressed in this status, previous setting is canceled and the display of the LCD monitor returns to the status of the step 2. 5. If the exposure is not compensated as desired when the display is restored to the "through image" status, again press the MENU button and then press the SET button. The display returns to the status of the step 4, and you can try to compensate exposure once more. * When aiming at an object in a dark place, it is hard to recognize the effect of exposure compensation. In such a case, it is recommended to take pictures of the same object repeatedly with different exposure compensation, and play them back on a TV screen or a personal computer display to choose a favorite one. Setting of exposure compensation is maintained until the lens barrier is closed. When the lens barrier is opened again after it was once closed, the exposure is set at the initial status (indicator bar in the center position). [. . . ] Install the required software in your personal computer. Before starting operation with the installed software, be sure to read the instructions "Readme" supplied with the software. Confirm that the lens barrier is closed, a recorded CF card is set in the camera and the camera is turned on with power supplied from batteries or an AC adaptor. To save the battery power, it is recommended to use an optional AC adaptor as a power source for the camera. [. . . ]
