Camera Modes
The DC10A has several mode settings, Push the mode button to select the mode.
Two characters will be displayed to indicate the selected mode.
Means you are ready to take 26 pictures (VGA: 640 x 480 pixels) in
high resolution mode.
Continuous mode (Ct). You can take photos in high resolution in Ct mode
(nonstop). Press mode button until you see Ct on the display. Press and
hold Capture button. The camera will start to take continuous shots until
the capture button is released. Release button when display shows 00.
Self Timer mode (St). In this mode, when the shutter button is pressed, the
camera will wait 10 seconds before taking the picture.
Clear memory (Cl). When this mode is selected, press the shutter button
twice to clear all pictures stored in the camera.
Low resolution mode (Lr). To store 107 pictures in low resolution mode,
push the mode button until the display shows “Lr.” Once a picture has
been taken, the camera resolution mode cannot be changed.
Means you are ready to take 107 pictures (CIF: 320 x 240 pixels), but the
two character display can only indicate 99 as the largest number. The
display will therefore remain at 99 until you have taken 10 pictures, at
which point the display will show 98 left to take.
High Resolution mode (Hr). The camera defaults to “High Resolution”
mode which lets you store 26 pictures.

Taking pictures
The DC10A is easy to use. What you see through the camera's view finder is
what will be taken, you do not need to focus the camera. Gently press the shutter
button. The camera makes a beep sound and takes a picture. The display shows
the number of pictures remaining. If it’s too dark, the camera gives a beep sound
in a lower tone, indicating that no picture has been taken. The camera will enter
standby mode if it has not been operated for a minute. In standby mode, the
camera will keep its power consumption to a minimum and the display will be
blank. To put the camera back into operation, just press the mode button.
Caution: Do not switch off the camera if pictures have been taken.
Otherwise, all pictures stored will be lost. Upload pictures to your PC
before you turn the camera off.
