SCSI ID SETUP

Each SCSI device that is connected to your computer must be assigned its own SCSI ID number from 0 to 7 so that the computer can identify it correctly.

Depending upon the computer, there are some SCSI ID Nos. which are pre-allocated, and cannot be given to any other device. Please refer to the table below.

	PRE-ALLOCATED SCSI ID NO.
PC/AT COMPATIBLE	No. 7 - SCSI host adapter
APPLE MACINTOSH	No. 0 - Hard disk drive1 No. 3 - CD-ROM drive2 No. 7 - The Macintosh computer

¹ Some Macintosh models have IDE hard disk drives. On these models, ID No. 0 is not pre-allocated.
2 Some Macintosh models have both an internal and external SCSI bus. On these models ID No. 3 of the external SCSI bus is not pre-allocated.

The Dimâge RD 3000 has been preset to SCSI ID No. 4 at the factory. If SCSI ID No. 4 is available for use on your computer, you need not change any settings before installing and using it.

If SCSI ID No. 4 is already in use on your computer, it will be necessary to allocate an unused ID No. to the Dimâge RD 3000.

1 Turn the Dimâge RD 3000 Main Switch/Mode Selector dial to PLAY, and push the MENU button located on the back of the unit.

• The Top Menu opens on the LCD screen.

• This setting remains stored in the camera's memory even after the power is turned off.

Push either the or button to move the cursor to CANCEL, and push the SET button; or push the MENU button twice.

TERMINATOR POWER SUPPLY SETUP

The Dimâge RD 3000 is equipped with only one SCSI connector, which means that it can only be used as the final device on a SCSI chain. Since the final device on a SCSI chain requires a device called a terminator, the Dimâge RD 3000 comes with a built-in terminator.

The terminator requires a power source.

For PC/AT compatible computers

Check the user manual of your SCSI host adapter to determine whether or not the SCSI host adapter you are using is one that supplies power to the terminator. If it is, you do not need to perform the terminator power supply setup.

Users of SCSI host adapters that do not supply power to the terminator need to perform the terminator power supply setup in order to supply the terminator with power from the Dimâge RD 3000.

For Macintosh computers

Users of desktop and mini-tower Power Macintosh or Power Macintosh G3 model computers do not need to perform the terminator power supply setup. Users of PowerBook and PowerBook G3 computers with Power PC CPUs need to perform the terminator power supply setup in order to supply the terminator with power from the Dimâge RD 3000.

1 Turn the Dimâge RD 3000 Main Switch/Mode Selector dial to PLAY, and push the MENU button located on the back of the unit.

• The Top Menu opens on the LCD screen.

SAVING AN IMAGE

Images can be saved to hard disk in a variety of file formats.

IMAGE FILE FORMATS

Images displayed in the Image Panel can be saved in any of the following file formats:

BMP

BMP is the standard Windows® image file format. Files saved in this format may be viewed with Microsoft Paint or other standard software.

EXIF(EXIF2.0)

EXIF is the acronym of Exchangeable Image File Format. Images taken with the DimAge RD-3000 are stored in the compact flash card in this format. EXIF 2.0 is an enhancement of EXIF 1.0, which supports JPEG compression, simple structure, and recording of supplementary information, but which also supports new information tags such as recording of audio information during photography, and photographic settings information. It also permits simple conversion of colour information and additional information quickly, without image deterioration, and without information dropout.

PICT

PICT is the standard Macintosh image file format. Files saved in this format can be viewed with Simple Text or other standard software.

JPEG

JPEG the acronym of Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG has become an international standard for compression and expansion of static images. It features the ability to compress data for full colour images. Like the TIFF format, JPEG platform-independent and provides a high compression ratio with relatively little loss of image quality, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

TIFF

TIFF is the acronym of Tag Image File Format, a format that supports high-resolution bitmap files.

Compatible with any number of platforms, it may be used with the IBM PC/AT compatible, Macintosh or other systems.

Photoshop 3.0 (PSD)

This is a proprietary file format developed for the Adobe Photoshop 3.0 image processing application by Adobe Systems Incorporated.

FlashPix

A file format developed jointly by Kodak, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, and Live Picture Corporation as an international standard for computer image files. It supports many features not available with other image file formats, including the following:

• All images are divided into 64 × 64 pixel files so that unnecessary data need not be processed during enlargement and movement. Each tile is compressed with the JPEG format, thus minimizing loss of image data.
• Each file comprises multiple high-resolution files allowing the image to be automatically displayed at the optimum resolution.
• Images are displayed at optimum resolution, and only the image data tiles for the visible part of the image are processed, so memory use and processing power all are minimiy

The Photoshop 3.0 (PSD) and FlashPix format are available only under Windows®

DISPLAYING CAMRA IMAGES

1 Click the Viewer button.

• The Viewer Panel opens, displaying thumbnail images of the files stored in the CF card.

Follow the instructions shown on page 44, Using the Viewer Panel, for operations that can be performed.

REMOTE PHOTOGRAPHY

Release the Dimâge RD 3000 shutter from your PC.

Adjust the exposure and flash correction value as necessary. If such a correction is unnecessary, proceed to step No. 3.

NOTE:

Using the exposure correction and flash correction properly

The exposure correction is used to lighten or darken the overall area of the picture frame.

The flash correction controls the amount of light released by the flash unit.

For example, when photographing human subjects outdoors, using only the exposure correction will affect the entire picture, even areas unaffected by the flash such as the background. Use of the flash correction will not affect the background, but will lighten/darken the areas around the subject which can be reached by the flash.

The exposure correction and flash correction can be used simultaneously.

1 Click the button (▶ button for Macintosh) on the Camera Panel.

• The Exposure/Flash Settings dialog box opens.

2 Use the mouse to drag the sliders and change the exposure/flash correction values.

• The correction value range is from -3.0 to +3.0 in increments of 0.5.
• Click the button ( button for Macintosh) again to save the settings, and close the Exposure/Flash Settings dialog box.

Use the mouse to drag the sliders and change the exposure/flash correction values.

3 Click the Capture button.

• The shutter releases, and the Image Panel opens to display the photograph.

NOTE:

The Dimage RD 3000 is configured so that the shutter will not release unless the camera is in focus. When you click the Capture button, your PC will send a release signal to the Dimage RD 3000 for approximately 20 seconds. During this time, a picture will be taken when the subject comes into focus (Or, during flash photography, when the flash has recharged).

If during that 20-second interval, the camera is unable to focus or the flash does not recharge, no picture is taken. In which event, a "Shutter was not Released" error message is displayed. Click the OK button to close the error message dialog box, and return the program to stand-by status.

CAMERA SETTINGS

Use your PC to format the Dimâge RD 3000 CF card, set the Dimâge RD 3000 internal clock, or synchronise the internal clock with your PC clock.

6 Click the Start button.

• The following dialog box opens. Verify that the contents are correct.

7 Click the Start button again to start the Time Lapse.

• Interval photography will begin in accordance with the preferences specified in steps 3 to 5.
• When the interval photography is completed, the Camera Panel opens.

NOTE:

The Dimage RD 3000 is configured so that the shutter will not release unless the subject is in focus. During Remote Photography, each time the specified interval passes, your PC will send a release signal to the Dimage RD 3000 for approximately 20 seconds. During this time, a picture will be taken once the camera comes into focus. (Or, once the flash has recharged during flash photography) If, during that 20-second interval, the camera remains out of focus or the flash does not recharge, no picture is taken. The camera will wait for the specified time internal to take the next picture.
