Note: Make a back-up of your photographs before using Windows Explorer in
Windows XP. This program may alter your photographs and this cannot
be undone.
Note: After taking a photograph, wait at least 5 seconds before opening the
battery compartment. If the camera is still writing data to the card when
the batteries are removed, all the photographs on the card may be
deleted.

Comment: The contents of the frame while recording video is slightly different
compared to the frame when taking pictures. Check the contents of
the frame with the LCD display to prevent parts of the subject being
outside the frame.
Tip: The result will be better if you move the camera slowly or hold it still
whilst recording. Quick movements may lead to jerky images,
because the video clip is recorded at 10 images per second, which is
less than the standard 25 images per second.
Tip: The batteries will last longer if you turn off the LCD screen and use
the viewfinder.
Comment: The camera makes a new video clip each time a video recording is
started. These clips can be edited together to make a film at a later
date using the software supplied with the camera. Many short clips
are more difficult to edit than less, but longer clips.

7.1.6 Alternative method for transferring recordings from the
camera
The TRUST 732AV LCD POWER VIDEO is visible in Windows as an extra
removable disk when it is in the ‘Storage medium’ mode (see figure 7). Its use is as

require a separate (TWAIN) driver. Download photographs using ‘File – Open’ or
copy them to your hard disk.

2. Connect the camera to your computer’s USB port using the USB cable
provided.
3. Wait a couple of seconds. The computer will detect the camera and the LCD
screen will be turned on.
4. Check whether the ‘Storage medium’ mode has been selected (see figure 7).
This should already have been selected.
5. Open ‘My Computer’.
6. Search for ‘Removable Disk’ and open it. A folder entitled ‘DCIM’ will be
visible. If not, find a second ‘Removable Disk’ and open it.
7. Double-click on the ‘DCIM’ folder. A folder entitled ‘100media’ will be visible.
8. Double-click on the ‘100media’ folder. The files will now be visible.

Recordings).
10. You can now edit these recordings as required.
Note: If you wish to enlarge photographs from the camera to a resolution of
4 Mpix, use the method described in chapters 7.1.2 and 7.1.3. The
method described above only produces a maximum resolution of 3.3
Mpix.
7.2 Ulead Photo Express 4
You can use this application to solve problems with the pictures, such as the red-eye
effect, coloured photographs, photographs which are too bright or too dark, remove
undesirable objects from the background, etc. You can also use this application to

1. Copy your photographs to your hard disk as described in chapter 7.1.2 or
7.1.6.

6. Click on ‘Edit’ at the top of the window and select an option. The most
common options are included here.
7. Click on ‘Save’ after editing the photograph to save the finished result.
See this program’s instruction manual and Help function for more information.
Note: The photographs are saved in JPEG format to save space. JPEG
reduces the size of the file by removing small details from the
photograph. If you wish to edit the photographs during different sessions,
use a different file format to JPEG (for example, TIFF) to prevent the loss
of quality as a result of constant loading and saving in the JPEG format.
Note: Since editing cannot be undone, it is recommended to make a copy of
the photographs and to only edit the copies. You can then always return
to the original photographs. It is strongly recommended to make a back-
up on a CD-ROM using a CD-writer for protection against computer
faults.
7.3 Ulead Photo Explorer 7
You can use Ulead Photo Explorer 7.0 to easily download photographs onto your
computer. A short description of how to use Photo Explorer is given below. For a

Note: The program has the option to publish the photographs on the Internet (if
you have a connection to the Internet). This is useful if you wish to show
your photographs to friends. Remember that anybody will then be able to
see your photographs and the company that administers the site has the
right to use your photographs in advertisements. This is also often the
case with other photograph sharing websites and is partly the reason
that they are free. Read the conditions for use first.
