When to adjust the sensitivity
Set the sensitivity to high or super high when taking
photos in the following situations:
❏ If the subject is fast moving (useful for indoor
sports)
❏ If the subject is far away when using a flash
❏ If it is dark and you are not using a flash (useful
when flash photography is prohibited)
EPSON recommends setting the sensitivity to
standard
at all other times, as image quality is lower
when using higher sensitivity settings.

Adjusting the white balance setting
The PhotoPC 3100Z has three white balance settings
that are accessible when the Program or Manual
camera mode is selected, one of which is a custom
setting that you can make yourself.
When to adjust the white balance
Your camera’s white balance default setting is AUTO.
When AUTO is selected, the camera adjusts the white
balance automatically. At certain times you may want
to manually adjust the white balance setting so that
the colors in your images appear more realistic.
