Note
If the batteries are weak the flash function is not available.To
keep battery consumption to a minimum the DD100 always
resets the flash function to the "Off” setting when switching
off. Should you wish to change the flash function perma-
nently to "Auto”, please select "Auto” as specified above
and then confirm this alteration in the camera settings under
"Setting”. Setting the camera to "Auto” may,however, reduce
the capacity of the batteries by up to 20 percent.
Shooting pictures with the self-timer
You can also use the DD100 with a 10 second self-timer and

7. Press the shutter release once.You will hear short beeping
signals which mean you now have ten seconds time to
put yourself in the picture before the camera takes the
shot. After each shot using the self-timer the camera

Selecting the image compression
Every picture taken is stored as a file in the memory of the
DD100. In order to be able to store as many images as
possible the DD100 automatically compresses each of
these image files. The degree of automatic compression
(compression rate) has an impact on the image quality.Al-
ways observe that the final size of the compressed image
also depends on the contents of the subject matter.A whi-
te snow landscape, for example, is compressed much mo-
re than a colorful meadow of flowers rich in contrast.
Always observe the instructions given below for selecting
the right image compression:
1. Press the Power On/Off button to switch on the DD100.
You are now in shooting mode.
2. Press the OK/Menu button to access the main menue.
