Thank you for purchasing this AgfaPhoto digital camera. Please read these operating instructions carefully in order to use the digital camera correctly. Keep the instructions in a safe place after reading so that you can refer to them later.
Precautions
• Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or other intense light sources which could damage your eyesight.
• Do not press the flash too close to the eyes of animals or young children. Eye damage may result. Please remain at least one meter away from infants when using flash.
• Keep the camera away from water and other liquids. Do not use the camera with wet hands. Never use the camera in the rain or snow. Moisture creates internal danger and may cause electric shock.
• Keep the camera and its accessories out of the reach of children and animals to prevent accidents or damage to the camera.
• If you notice smoke or a strange odor coming from the camera, turn the power off immediately. Take the camera to the nearest authorized service center for repair. Never attempt to repair the camera on your own.
• Use only the recommended power accessories. Use of power sources not expressly recommended for this equipment may lead to overheating, distortion of the equipment, fire, electrical shock or other hazards.
Disclaimer
We assume no responsibility over and above the provisions of the Product Liability Law for damages suffered by the user or third parties as a result of inappropriate handling of the product or its accessories, or by their operational failure and by their use. We reserve the right to make changes to this product and its accessories without prior notice.
Warning!
Never disconnect to open the camera or remove any parts of it. This will invalidate all guarantee claims.
Using your batteries
For best performance and prolonged battery life, we recommend the use of AA lithium or rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.
Extending battery life
The following functions use up a great deal of battery power and should therefore only be used occasionally:
• Excessive use of flash
• Editing images on the camera display
The battery life can be affected by soiling. Please clean the contacts with a clean and dry cloth before putting the batteries in the camera. Battery performance drops at temperatures below 5 °C (41 °F). If you use the camera at low temperatures you should have replacement batteries to hand and ensure they do not get too cold. Please note: you should not dispose of cold and seemingly flat batteries because these batteries may work again at room temperature.
