1 Introduction
This instruction manual is for users of the TRUST 950 POWERC@M ZOOM. The
TRUST 950 POWERC@M ZOOM can be used to take photographs, to record live
video images or as a webcam for videoconferencing on the Internet.
The applications supplied with the camera have a wide range of options for editing
photographs and video clips. When the Trust 950 POWERC@M ZOOM is connected
to your computer, it can be accessed directly as a removable disk. You can then
open the photographs and video clips, edit them, send them via e-mail, save them on
your computer, etc.
The camera also works with Mac OS 8.9~9.1 and Mac OS 10.1 or later releases as a
mass storage device.
1.1 General comments regarding photography
Test photograph
Before you start photographing a unique event, it is a good idea to first take a
number of test photographs. This will help to ensure that the camera works as
required.
No compensation for unsuccessful photographs
No compensation may be claimed for unsuccessful photographs as a result of a
faulty camera, faulty software, etc.
Exchanging photographs and video clips
No guarantees are given that photographs and video clips produced with this camera
can be displayed on other devices or that photographs and video clips produced with
other devices can be displayed using this camera.
Sunlight
Do not aim the camera directly at the sun for a long period of time. This may damage
the sensor.
Shaking/knocks
Do not shake the camera or knock it against anything, because this may cause a
fault, unsuccessful photographs, memory incompatibility or the loss of photographs
from the memory.
LCD screen
There may sometimes be small black or clear dots visible on the LCD screen. This is
normal and does not affect the photographs. There is no reason to exchange the
camera if there are 10 dots or less.
Exposing the LCD screen to direct sunlight for a long period of time may cause faults.

This chapter gives an explanation of the extra options which are available when
taking photographs using the camera.
With an analogue camera, a mechanical sound can be heard when something is
altered or a setting is changed. This is not the case with a digital camera. Therefore,
beeps are heard. This sound cannot be turned off.

by digitally processing it.
Press the control button up to zoom in.
Press the control button down to zoom out.
Whilst zooming in or out, the change in size is displayed in the zoom bar on the left-
hand side of the LCD screen.

Note: It will take approximately 22 seconds to save a photograph taken
in the 6 Megapixel resolution. It takes approximately 8 seconds
to save a photograph taken in the lower resolutions.
11.4.1 Resolution
Photographs can be saved in the memory in four different resolutions. The lower the
resolution, the more photographs you can save in the camera's memory. The higher
the resolution, the more detailed the photograph will be.
Use a low resolution if you wish to upload photographs onto the Internet.
Use a high resolution if you wish to print or edit photographs.
11.4.2 Compression/quality
You can determine the quality of the photographs using the compression.
The higher the quality setting (Fine), the better the final image. A higher quality
requires more memory and limits the number of photographs that can be saved in the
camera’s memory.
Fine is the best quality setting. Normal is the default quality setting. The quality
setting can be altered as desired. See Table 10 for a summary of the number of
photographs that can be saved in the camera’s internal memory.
Note: The numbers given in the table below are only an indication of the
expected capacity.

11.4.3 White balance
Under normal circumstances, the white balance is set automatically. You can select
the white balance manually for conditions which do not change or for certain lighting
conditions.
• Auto: Automatic setting (indoor and outdoor photography).
• Sun: Setting for sunny weather (outdoor photography).
• Tungsten: Setting for incandescent lighting (indoor photography).
• Fluorescent: Setting for fluorescent lighting (indoor photography).
Tip: A photograph is sensitive to the light conditions. In sunlight, the
photograph appears blue and under fluorescent lighting, the
photograph appears green. The human eye can solve this
problem. The camera, however, cannot solve this problem
without making alterations.
Under normal conditions, the white balance is adjusted
automatically by the camera. If there are strange colours, it is
recommended to alter the white balance manually.
11.4.4 Automatic exposure
The camera has an automatic exposure function which gives a time delay of 10
seconds before the photograph is taken. You can use the automatic exposure
function to take a photograph of yourself.
Press the exposure button (4, figure 2) to take a photograph using the automatic
exposure function.
Whilst counting down (10 seconds):
- The number of seconds remaining will be displayed on the LCD screen.
- The automatic exposure indicator (6, figure 2) will flash.
Note: It is recommended to use the stand when taking a photograph
using the automatic exposure function.
11.5 Exposure
