Multi-day use during which the camera remains out of the GPO must be approved by the Director. The person who reserves the camera is responsible for any damage to the camera or loss of the camera while it is out of the GPO under their name, regardless of who possesses the camera or incurs such damage or loss during that time. The camera has a built-in flash with several settings. Images are stored on an 8 MB SmartDisk mounted in the camera. Images can be viewed on the LCD panel on the back of the camera after they are taken.
Erasure is also possible using the LCD, enabling field editing of pictures.
Images are transferred from the camera to the user's PC via an included serial port cable. Anyone wishing to use the digital camera is strongly encouraged to borrow it for a practice and training period prior to their actual photo shoot. To avoid software license violations, the software must be removed from the user's PC once the desired images have been acquired and the camera is no longer needed.
