The code has several fun filters and effects for photos. Feel free to be creative in how you take your pictures.
Be sure the MEMENTO is powered off. The display should be dark and no LED lights visible from the top of the camera.
Place a microSD card into the microSD card slot. Power on the camera.
Press the Right button to highlight the word "Normal" in the lower left corner of the display. This is the adjust filter mode.
Press Up or Down buttons to select the choices within the filter mode:
- Normal image mode (color)
- Invert
- B&W (grayscale)
- Reddish
- Greenish
- Bluish
- Sepia (yellow tones)
- Solarize (invert)
Subsequent pictures will use the chosen effect until it is changed.
The software also has several different effects modes.
Press the Right button to highlight "JPEG" in the lower right of the display. This menu allows you to pick among the modes.
Press the Up or Down buttons to select the choices within the effects mode:
- JPEG (take JPEG image snapshots)
- GIF (create animated GIFs at 240x176 resolution)
- GBOY (shoot images that are 1-bit black & white dots like the Gameboy camera)
- STOP (shoot a series of JPEG images for stop motion animation, includes translucent "onion skin" overlay of previous frame)
- LAPS (create a series of time lapse images)
JPEG is the standard mode for taking pictures. GIF takes small animated GIFs and is covered in later pages along with STOP motion and time lapse (LAPS).
GBOY mode stands for Game Boy. The Game Boy camera from Nintendo produced small black and white images via stippling, small dots spaced such that the eye sees an image.
For many, a low resolution image taken in this mode will remind them of the Nintendo Gameboy camera.
These are shot at 240x240 resolution and saved to the microSD card as single frame GIF files.
Once you have selected the filter and/or effect, have fun taking pictures beyond the standard color image.
