The EPSON PhotoPC 3100Z has three user modes to give
you different levels of control over the camera settings. To use
the more advanced features, such as white balance and
exposure adjustment, you must be in Program mode or
Manual mode.
Program This setting is recommended for photographers
who want a moderate amount of control over
the camera’s functions. This mode is the default.
Programmed subjects (Normal, Sports, Portrait,
and Landscape) tailor your camera settings to the
type of picture you’re taking. You can also use the
LCD menus to make your own adjustments to
sensitivity, white balance, and exposure.
Manual This mode is for experienced photographers who
want complete control over the camera’s wide array
of settings and features. In addition to changing
sensitivity and white balance, you can adjust the
shutter speed and aperture, choose a spot or matrix
metering system, and focus the camera to three
feet, ten feet, or fifty feet.
Full Auto Simply point and shoot. The camera determines
most settings for you, but you can still select basic
settings such as image quality and macro mode.
