Using your camera  
Taking pictures  
Your camera is equipped with both an optical viewfinder and a 2.0”  
full-color LCD to compose pictures.  
The LCD helps you accurately compose pictures. However, the LCD  
uses battery power when it is turned on. You can use the optical  
viewfinder to conserve battery power. For example, if your battery  
charge is low, turn off the LCD and compose images through the  
viewfinder.  
To use the LCD to take pictures:  
1 Turn the camera on. See “Turning on your camera” on page 13.  
2 Turn the mode dial to a photography mode.  
3 If the LCD is turned off, press the  
button to turn on the LCD. Press the  
button one or more times, until OSD full  
display appears.  
4 Compose your picture in the LCD.  
5 Press the shutter button down halfway to focus the image, then  
press the shutter button down the rest of the way to take the  
picture. The viewfinder LED is red while the camera processes the  
picture.  
Tips & Tricks  
After focusing, the LCD will show an approximation  
of the image brightness when the picture is taken.  
If the lighting is too dark for a good picture  
exposure, the preview image on the LCD will be  
dark. You can change the camera settings, such as  
the shutter speed or aperture, to set the camera for  
more light sensitivity. However, some settings may  
cause the shutter speed to be too slow for a  
handheld picture. If the shutter speed is too slow  
for a handheld picture, the unsteady hold warning  
icon  
is displayed. You may want to use a tripod  
to steady the camera.  
Tips & Tricks  
The image on the LCD may look dim in bright  
sunlight. This is common for the LCD because the

Setting the focus  
You can set the camera to focus on subjects with auto focus,  
macro focus,  
infinity focus, 3M focus fixed at 3 meters, or 1M focus  
fixed at 1 meter. If you change the Focus mode, the camera retains  
the focus settings when the camera is turned off. The focus settings,  
however, are limited to the capabilities of the selected photography  
mode.  
Tips & Tricks  
Some settings may cause the shutter speed to be  
too slow for a handheld picture. If the shutter speed  
is too slow for a handheld picture, the unsteady  
hold warning icon  
is displayed. You may want  
to use a tripod to steady the camera.  
The camera has five Focus modes:  
Icon Focus mode Description  
Auto focus  
Select this mode for fully automatic focus. Auto focus focuses  
on subjects from approximately 2½ feet (80 cm) to infinity  
in wide angle and telephoto settings.  
Macro  
Select this mode for close-up photography.  
Wide angle (zoom off) - focuses from approximately 3½  
inches (9 cm) to infinity.  
Telephoto (at optical zoom 3x) - focuses from approximately  
1 foot (30 cm) to infinity.  
Infinity  
Select this mode for distant photography where subjects are  
approximately 16 feet (5 m) or more from the camera.  
3M  
1M  
Fixed at  
3 meters  
Select this mode for photography where the subject is  
approximately 10 feet (3 m) from the camera.  
Fixed at  
1 meter  
Select this mode for photography where the subject is  
approximately 3 feet (1 m) from the camera.  
To change the focus settings:

5 Press the shutter button down  
halfway to focus the image. The  
viewfinder LED turns green to  
indicate that the subject is in focus.  
Tips & Tricks  
The camera focus time depends on how much the  
picture subject is moving. If the subject moves  
significantly, the focus may take slightly longer than  
still subjects. Generally, the camera focus locks in  
about 1 second.  
6 Press the shutter button down the  
rest of the way to take the picture.  
After you take the picture, it  
appears on the LCD momentarily.  
Using the flash  
The flash is designed to work automatically in low lighting  
conditions or when additional lighting is required. The intensity of  
the flash varies depending upon the surrounding lighting  
conditions. You can also set the Flash mode manually.  
The camera retains the current flash setting when the camera is  
turned off.

The camera has four Flash modes:  
Icon Flash mode Description  
Auto flash  
The flash fires automatically according to the ambient lighting  
conditions. Auto flash only works in the Auto mode  
.
Red-eye  
reduction  
Select this mode for general photography. Use the red-eye  
reduction flash to take pictures of people and animals in  
low-light conditions.  
The flash emits a precursor-flash before the main flash fires.  
This causes the eye’s pupil to contract, reducing the red-eye  
phenomenon. The flash always fires twice, and the  
photograph is taken at the second flash.  
When the camera mode is set to Auto mode  
or Program  
mode P, the flash fires at a light intensity based on the  
brightness of the subject.  
When the camera is set to Shutter speed priority mode Tv,  
Aperture priority mode Av, or Manual mode M, the flash will  
always fire.  
When the camera is set to Portrait mode  
to Red-eye reduction mode automatically.  
, the flash is set  
Forced flash  
Select this mode for photography in high contrast lighting  
situations (such as a strong backlight behind a subject),  
fluorescent lighting, and other situations that need fill-in  
lighting on the subject.  
When the camera is set to Night scene mode  
is set to Forced flash mode automatically, except in the  
Infinity focus mode  
, the flash  
.
Suppressed  
flash  
Select this mode for places where flash photography is  
prohibited, when the subject is too far away for the flash to  
be effective, or when in situations where the lighting  
conditions may be low but you want to take pictures in the  
natural lighting.  
When the camera is set to Sports mode  
, the flash is set  
to Suppressed flash mode automatically.  
Tips & Tricks  
If the lighting conditions are too dark for a handheld  
picture and the flash is set to the Suppressed flash  
mode  
, the unsteady hold warning icon  
is  
displayed to indicate that the picture may be blurry  
if taken. You may want to use a tripod to steady the  
camera.  
Tips & Tricks  
The flash does not operate in the Movie mode  
or Continuous or Auto Exp. capture modes.

4 Compose the picture.  
5 Focus the camera and take the picture. See “Setting the focus”  
on page 26.  
Tips & Tricks  
After the flash fires, it takes about 5 to 10 seconds  
to recharge the flash for the next picture. As the  
flash charges, the viewfinder LED turns orange.  
When fully charged, the LED turns off.  
Setting the picture size and quality  
The camera resolution (picture size) and quality settings determine the  
number of pixels (dimensions), picture file size, and compression  
ratio for your pictures. These settings affect the number of pictures  
that can be stored on a memory card. As you become more familiar  
with your camera, we recommended that you try each resolution  
and quality setting to understand the effects that these settings have  
on your pictures.  
Your camera has four resolution (picture size) settings:  
2816 x 2112 – approximately 6 megapixels  
2272 x 1704 – approximately 4 megapixels  
1600 x 1200 – approximately 2 megapixels  
640 x 480 – less than .5 megapixels  
To learn more about the definition for megapixels, see the FAQ  
Q: What does the term megapixel mean?” on page 74.  
Your camera has three picture quality settings:  
Fine  
Standard  
Economy  
29  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
Higher resolution and higher quality pictures offer the best  
photographic quality but produce larger image file sizes. Because of  
this, fewer pictures fit on a memory card. Use high resolution and  
high quality settings for pictures that you plan to print and for  
situations that require the finest detail.  
Lower resolution and lower quality pictures take up less memory  
space and may be quite suitable for sharing through e-mail, in a  
report, or on a Web page.

pictures that can be stored on an SD memory card.

Using the zoom feature  
You can also enlarge pictures as much as 3 times the normal size  
using the optical zoom.  
The digital zoom lets you take telephoto or enlarged pictures as  
much as 13.2 times the normal picture enlargement. The camera  
combines the 3x optical zoom with the 4.4x digital zoom to increase  
the camera’s digital zoom capabilities.  
For more information, see the FAQ “Q: What is the difference  
between optical zoom and digital zoom?” on page 74.  
Tips & Tricks  
When you use the zoom feature, the camera is  
more sensitive to camera movement. If the shutter  
speed is too slow for a handheld picture, the  
unsteady hold warning icon  
is displayed. You  
may want to use a tripod to steady the camera.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)  
Battery  
Q: How can I get better battery performance for my digital camera?  
A: When your battery power is low, avoid using the camera functions  
that consume the most power. Store and use your batteries at the  
optimum temperature. Take advantage of external power sources  
when you can.  
In addition:  
Keep at least two batteries: one in the camera and one charging  
or in reserve for when you need to swap them out.  
Use rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries in your Gateway DC-T60  
camera. Rechargeable batteries often get up to two times as many  
pictures on a fresh charge, so make sure your batteries are fully  
charged before taking a lot of pictures.  
Avoid using the camera’s LCD when you want to extend the  
battery life. Using the LCD consumes the most battery power, so  
turn off the LCD and use the viewfinder to take pictures. For more  
information, see “To use the viewfinder to take pictures:” on  
page 21.  
Use the camera’s AC power adapter to view your pictures on the  
camera without using the battery power.  
Avoid operating the zoom lens. Using the zoom lens forces the  
lens to extend and retract with each power cycle. Set the camera’s  
Auto Off mode to a longer time setting. A better power  
conservation strategy is to leave the camera on when you are  
taking pictures within a few minutes of each other. For more  
information about changing the Auto Off time setting in the  
Setup menu’s Basic tab, see “Auto Off” on page 61.  
Avoid using the flash when possible.  
Use your camera and batteries as close to room temperature as you  
can. Colder temperatures tend to drain the battery power more  
quickly.  
Store spare batteries that are charged in the coolest place you can  
find (at or above freezing), but be sure to bring cold batteries back  
up to room temperature before using them in the camera.  
Use an external card reader to transfer image files from your  
camera to your computer if possible. This method of file transfer  
will let you manage image files without turning the camera on.

Using  
Q: Why can I not take or delete pictures with the SD memory card  
in the locked position?  
A: When the SD memory card is in the locked position, it protects  
the images on the card. You cannot delete files from or add files to  
the SD memory card until you slide the lock switch on the card to  
the unlock position.  
Q: Why is there a delay when taking a picture with my digital  
camera?  
A: There is a delay while the digital camera auto focuses on the  
subject. The camera also analyzes whether the flash is required and  
changes other automatic settings. There are other factors that can  
contribute to this delay. For example, low batteries may cause the  
camera to operate slower, or the subject may be moving.  
Some steps to help shorten the time delay are:  
Steady the camera  
Gently press the shutter button half way down to auto focus the  
subject. This activates the auto focus and checks the condition of  
the flash. When your subject is ready, take the picture.  
Q: Why is there a delay before I can take another picture after I push  
the shutter button?  
A: There are several reasons for the delay. The camera must:  
Set the focus, exposure time, white balance, and other settings.  
Charge the charged-coupled device (CCD) imager. The camera  
cannot hold the charge for long, so it does it right before you snap  
the picture.  
Copy the image out of the CCD into random access memory  
(RAM).  
Compress the image into a smaller, more memory-space efficient  
format, such as .JPG.  
Write the image to the SD memory card.

Q: What are troubleshooting steps for Windows USB connection  
issues?  
A: Usually setting up a digital camera on a computer is simple: plug  
the camera in, let the computer install the device driver, and use the  
computer. However, sometimes the USB connection does not work.  
connection problems:  
Is my memory card compatible with my camera?  
A large number of problems are caused by incompatible memory  
cards. In many cases the memory cards work while taking pictures,  
but fail to download files from the camera to the computer. To  
avoid this problem, format new SD memory cards to ensure that  
they will be compatible with your camera. For more information  
about formatting an SD memory card, see “To format an  
SD memory card:” on page 51.  
Does the LCD go dark after being connected for 2 seconds?  
If the Found New Hardware wizard does not appear on the  
computer display, then check to see if the camera’s LCD is on and  
the camera is in the PC mode. If the LCD is on and the camera  
is in PC mode, then you may have a bad USB cable or a faulty  
camera or computer USB port.  
Does the New Hardware Wizard start?  
Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Me operating  
systems should automatically recognize a new camera connected  
to the USB port and use the Microsoft Mass Storage driver to  
communicate with it. If you connect the camera and a Found New  
Hardware wizard opens, select the option to let the computer  
auto-search for the drivers, then click Next. The wizard completes  
the driver installation (computers with Windows 98SE require  
that you install a USB driver to operate your Gateway camera).  
Q: The lens on the camera is stuck and will not retract. What should  
I do?  
A: This could be related to a low battery charge. Make sure that the  
battery is fully charged, try a new battery, or use the AC power  
adapter if available.  
Q: Can I use my AC adapter for the DC-T60 camera in other  
countries?  
A: The AC adapter (US type) accepts voltages between 100 to  
240 volts, 50/60 Hz. However, it requires an adapter that is  
compatible with outlets used in the country you are visiting.

Q: Should I have any concerns about putting my digital camera  
through the X-ray machines at the airport?  
A: No, there is no evidence that putting your camera through an  
X-ray machine causes any harm.  
Terms  
Q: What is an SD memory card?  
A: The SD Card is a highly secure stamp-sized flash memory card that  
has a fast data transfer rate and consumes very little battery power.  
The SD card can be used in a variety of digital products such as digital  
music players, cellular phones, handheld PCs (HPCs), digital  
cameras, digital video camcorders, smart phones, car navigation  
systems, and electronic books.  
Q: What is the difference between optical zoom and digital zoom?  
A: Optical zoom is similar to the zoom feature that you find in a  
regular 35mm camera. When you press the button to zoom in or  
out, the physical lens elements move inside the camera to achieve  
the desired effect.  
The digital zoom does not have moving parts. Instead it uses the  
camera’s “electronic brain” to digitally magnify the optical image.  
This digital magnification causes the image to be more pixelated  
(grainy picture) than the same image taken with an optical zoom.  
Q: What does the term megapixel mean?  
A: A pixel is a small square of visual information that makes up an  
image on your computer screen. When all of the pixels are displayed  
side-by-side, they make up the complete picture that you see on the  
screen.  
For example, a 17-inch computer monitor that has a resolution of  
1,280 pixels wide by 1,024 pixels tall makes up an image on your  
74  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
         
computer display. Similarly, a digital camera's CCD has a certain  
number of pixels that it is capable of capturing. The pixels are then  
stored on the camera’s memory card and later transferred to your  
computer. A camera with 1,000,000 pixels is a one megapixel  
camera.  
Q: What does CCD mean?  
A: CCD is the acronym for charged-coupled device. The image sensor  
separates the spectrum of color into red, green, and blue so the  
camera can digitally process the image.
