Technical Brief—Digital cameras
Ease of Use—Image storage
EPSON digital cameras store all use CompactFlash cards for image storage, although some of EPSON's cameras
also have internal memory for images.
1. The benefits of CompactFlash memory cards are:
Small size and easy insertion and removal
Low power consumption with the use of Flash
technology
High reliability with no moving parts and the ability to
withstand a shock rating of 2,000 Gs (equivalent to a ten
foot drop)
Available in larger capacities than SmartMedia cards,
which is important for the larger file size of high-
resolution images.
Currently CompactFlash cards are available in capacities
ranging from 8MB to 192MB.
2. Images can be copied to your computer directly from a CompactFlash
card using one of the following methods:
Optional PCMCIA adapter—Allows the card to be used in any
PCMCIA Type II slot (the ideal transfer method for a notebook
computer)
Optional CompactFlash card reader—Allows your computer to
access the CompactFlash card like a removable disk drive
(Available from Lexar Media or San Disk in parallel and USB
configurations)
Optional IOMEGA Clik!™ digital camera drive—Allows you to download CompactFlash or SmartMedia
cards to a Clik! disk, then transfer images from the Clik! disk to your PC using the desktop docking station.
Ease of Use—Color LCD monitor
EPSON digital cameras allows you to take pictures using the viewfinder or the color LCD. Using the LCD gives
you the following advantages:
Fast real-time preview or playback of images
Ability to change camera settings by using the LCD's menu
options
Ability to choose additional picture modes such as digital
zoom, panoramic, and macro
Some EPSON digital cameras have a Solar Assist LCD which
allows you to power the LCD by direct sunlight. This feature
has two benefits:

to take pictures outdoors
It conserves battery power
