every second and then a longer beep. A further beep will then indicate that the picture has been
taken (high beep - picture successful, low beep - insufficient light, picture not taken). The self-timer
mode can not be selected when the camera is full. The self-timer countdown cannot be stopped
once it has started.
Clearing the camera memory - CL
Pressing the shutter button once will cause the camera to beep and the ‘CL’ to start flashing.
Pressing the shutter button again within 5 seconds will clear all the images/audio clips in the
camera and reset the counter.
Changing picture resolution - Hr/Lr
The resolution option is displayed, either Hr. to change to high-resolution mode (if currently in low-
resolution mode) or Lr to change to low-resolution (if currently in high-resolution mode). Press the
shutter button within 5 seconds of selecting the resolution option, the camera will beep and the
display will reset indicating the number of pictures available in the new mode. The picture resolution
can be changed at any time, i.e. the camera can store both high and low resolution images.
