You can use the following procedures to adjust the brightness and to specify
the type of lighting present when recording an image.

The watch automatically sets the brightness of the image when you record it.
You can also change the brightness level manually when you want to
compensate for backlighting of the subject, very dark backgrounds, etc.

When composing an image on the display, use

B

 (darker) and 

E

 (lighter) to adjust its

brightness.

•

You can set brightness to one of 15 levels.
The initial default level is 8.

•

It may take some time after you press 

B

 or

E

 before the change in brightness is

reflected on the displayed image.

•

A brightness setting you make remains in
effect until you change it or exit the Camera
Mode. Automatic brightness adjustment is
the initial default whenever you enter the
Camera Mode.

•

Even with manual brightness adjustment, you may not be able to obtain an
acceptable image when recording images under very bright or very dark
lighting conditions.

The type of lighting present when recording, greatly affects the resulting
image. Besides the difference between outdoor and indoor lighting, there is
also a difference between indoor lighting types.
Though you cannot see it, light produced by indoor lighting fixtures actually
flickers at a fixed rate, which is the same as the cycle of the lighting fixture’s
AC power (50Hz or 60Hz). You can use the following procedure to tell the
watch the type of lighting you are using, so it can make necessary
adjustments that ensure best results.

In the Camera Mode, press 

A

 to cycle through the available lighting type

settings as shown below.

•

The lighting type setting screen remains on the display for about one
second. After that, it returns to the normal Camera Mode screen.

•

A lighting type setting you make remains in effect until you change it or exit
the Camera Mode. Outdoor lighting is the initial default whenever you enter
the Camera Mode.

There are three recording modes that you can use to produce the type of
image you want.

Normal Mode
This mode records images using 16 grayscales. It is the normal default mode.
Merge Mode
This mode lets you merge two separately recorded images into a single
image.
Art Mode
This mode records images in two-tone monochrome.
