Your ePhoto CL50 takes high quality digital pictures—and it’s easy
to use. Just point and click, like a conventional camera. In addition,
you can:
w
Frame images with the optical viewfinder or color LCD, and
quickly change the automatic settings.
Take pictures and view them immediately on the LCD or a TV. Or
transfer pictures to a computer and use them on the Web, in
email or multimedia. No need to scan pictures.
Keep only your best shots and delete the rest immediately.
Add a voice memo or sound to each picture.
View your pictures as a slide show on the camera’s LCD.
Shoot up to 10 shots at 1/2 second intervals with burst mode.
Tag shots for creating panoramas and then “stitch” them
together with PhotoWise (included).
Store pictures on a removable, reusable SmartMedia memory
card — up to 96 pictures, depending on the resolution.
Designate pictures for print and then bring the memory card to
a photo shop or minilab to have the pictures developed.
