Technical Brief—Digital cameras
Versatility—Picture modes
EPSON digital cameras offer a variety of pictures modes, and the supported modes vary by camera.
1. Digital Zoom—Many EPSON cameras have a 2X digital zoom
setting that allows you to zoom in on objects from a distance.
The key differences between an optical zoom and a
digital zoom are:
Digital zoom crops and magnifies the image to "enlarge"
it, so it is best to print these images in a smaller size to
ensure image quality.
Optical zoom uses a lens system to magnify image with
no loss of image quality.
Many EPSON cameras have a 3X optical zoom lens that can be combined with the 2X digital zoom for a
maximum 6X zoom.
2. Quick shot—This picture mode saves up to 10 standard, fine, or super fine images in temporary storage
while you keep taking pictures. The camera then saves the images to the CompactFlash card when you're
done. Using this picture mode, you can take pictures without waiting for the camera to process each one
before allowing you to take another.
3. Interval shooting—This picture mode allows you to
capture scenes that change over time, such as a sunset.
With this time lapse feature, you can select time intervals
from 10 seconds to 24 hours.
4. Continuous shoot—This picture mode captures
several standard, fine, or super fine images per
second, up to as many as 10 pictures per
second. It is ideal for capturing progressive
motion for web animation.
5. Video clip recording—This picture mode captures 25 second video clips with audio at 15 frames per
second (320 x 240 resolution). Clips play back in QuickTime
6. Stitching—This picture mode captures a series of images that you can stitch together into a single, large
panorama.
7. Macro—This picture mode captures close-up pictures without using
an add-on lens. Many EPSON digital cameras support a close-up
focus range of 8 inches, and some support a range of 2.36 inches.
