It Works great!

The focus information is available at: http://www.ssdonline.com/... ...m?Productid=B111021F&affid=A01&urlid=B111021F

Yes. Image processing time will be 2.5x longer with the Image Authentication System installed in the camera than without. For example, an image normally processed in 4 seconds will be processed in 10 seconds with the Image Authentication System installed in the camera.

Yes, the use of a flash memory card will not affect the system. All images taken and stored on the flash card will be IAS-enabled ("Epson protected") subject to verification in the same manner as images stored on the internal memory of the camera.

Yes. Changing file names will not cause images to fail the verification test.

Adjust the brightness of the screen using the Settings menu. Make sure the Solar Assist is disabled if you are not in bright sunlight.

Make sure the flash is not set to the flash off setting. Check the batteries and make sure they are installed correctly. Recharge or replace the batteries if necessary. You can't use the flash in continuous shooting mode. Check to make sure your camera's flash setting is not set to use the optional external flash (see Appendix A).

You may be pressing the shutter all the way down at once. This forces the camera to focus, make exposure adjustments, and capture the image all at once. By pressing the shutter button partially to focus, then the rest of the way to capture the image, your camera can process pictures more quickly. You can turn on quick shot mode to take pictures quickly.

Whenever you change the batteries in your camera you need to reset the clock. You can use the LCD screen Settings menu or set the camera's clock from your computer.

Make sure you're using an ATA-compatible CompactFlash memory card. Other cards may not work with PhotoPC 850Z.

Although the photos are saved as .JPG, is there an issue with the physical size of them ? Perchance, should the loaded image exceed the size of the paper loaded, the printer may not be able to print it.

Hi, go to the link below to download it :-) jn3v16

No you don't have to buy a new printer :-) for a few pence /cents you can buy an adapter from eBay.

You may have a finger getting into the area in front of the lens.

The D7000 doesn't have wireless capability on its own. However, depending on how your printer is configured, you could use an Eye-Fi card to send your pictures to be printed.

It's ancient, worthless and totally obsolete. Spare parts will be impossible to obtain. Repairs will be completely uneconomical if you have to pay for them in any way (parts or labour).

In short, you have absolutely nothing to lose by trying a DIY repair, and even if it fails (highly likely) you gain valuable experience for when you next attempt such a repair.

BTW: the Epson 850z is not an SLR. The optical viewfinder does not take it's image from the same lens used to take the picture.
