Camera Cable—USB to computer

You are supplied with a USB cable that connects the camera to the computer.

It has a yellow C sticker on it. Insert it into the body of the camera where the

corresponding Yellow C sticker is located.

The other end of the yellow C cable should be already inserted into

the back of your computer or laptop, but do check it to be sure

that it is secure.

The power supply cable will be already be plugged into the

power pack located on the lower back section of the camera

case. Check it to be sure is it secure. The other end of the cord

clicks into the battery cartridge that is inserted into the bottom

of your camera.

Power Supply to Camera Continued

Remove the power pack from the camera, insert the tip of the power

supply cable into the power pack and then reinsert it into the bottom of

the camera. A gray clip on one side of the power pack compartment can

be gently pushed back to allow for insertion of the power pack.

* Note, make sure this cord is removed before putting on the system door!

Damage to this adapter will mean down time.

Gray Clip

Sync Cable for Flash

The third and final cable that connects to your camera is the

sync cable for the flash. It is labeled with a green C. It

connects to the hot shoe on the top of your camera and is

found in the compartment that the camera was packed in.

The other end of the

flash sync cable is

inserted into the back

of the flash. Several

flash models are shown

below. Your sync cable

is stored in the bin

with your flash.

Camera Settings

You are now ready to turn the camera on. The On/Off button is a switch right next

to the mode button. The mode dial should be in MANUAL mode. You must have the

camera on M for manual mode or the lighting will not be correct.

Gray Card Program– Automatic F-Stop adjustment

The F-Stop can always be adjusted manually, however the Gray Card

Program, on your photo software, will adjust your F-stop automatically for

the best exposure in your environment. ( click on Show Menu, then click

on the Adjust Color and Lights tab)

**See the RPS software tutorial for complete instructions on the Gray

Card program.

Focus Modes

To set the camera to autofocus mode, click the switch on the side of the lens

to AF. Your camera may be set to MF when shipped, ( for manual focus) but

autofocus can be used if preferred. *Note, if using touchscreen to take a

picture, the focus setting must always be Manual. Using autofocus requires

pressing the shutter button on the camera body to take a picture. Never use

touchscreen when set to auto-focus.

Autofocus Switch

Focusing the camera in manual mode

For manual focus, look through the viewfinder and make sure that the area

inside the lens looks clear. The numbers on the lower bottom of the inside

screen should appear sharp to your eye. If they do not, adjust the diopter,

to the right of the viewfinder, until the numbers inside the lens look sharp.

This sets the optics of the camera to your eye, and may differ for other

photographers.

Diopter

Make sure numbers here appear

sharp to your eye.

Focusing and Zooming the lens

The larger ring on any lens is always the zoom adjustment. Zoom can be used

with manual or autofocus. The Focal adjustment ring at the end of the lens can

only be used when in Manual focus.

The larger ring on the lens will zoom

the subject in and out.

Focal adjustment

Look through the lens and center your picture like the sample below. Zoom

in closely to Santa and child to create a portrait. Avoid zooming back too

far, or many unwanted elements in the mall may become part of your

picture.

Your image, when printed, should look bright and clear. If you are not

satisfied with the quality of your image, please call Tech Support for help.
