SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Camera notes:

Do not store or use the camera in the following types of locations:

• In the rain, very humid and dusty places.

• In a place where the camera can be exposed directly to the sunlight or subject to high temperature, e.g. Inside a closed car in summer.

• In a place where the camera is subject to a high magnetic ﬁeld, e.g. near motors, transformers or magnets.

Do not place the camera on a wet surface or places where dripping water or sand may come in contact with the camera, which may cause irrepairable faults.

If the camera will not be used for a long period of time, we suggest you remove the battery and the memory card from the camera and keep them in dry environment.

If you carry the camera suddenly from a cold location to a warm place, moisture may condense inside the camera. We suggest you wait for a while before turing on the camera.

If water has gotten inside the camera, turn off the camera and remove the battery and memory card. Allow to air-dry for at least 24 hours before using the camera again.

If camera overheats, while in use or charging, disconnect charger and carefully remove batteries

Battery notes:

Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak, become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the precautions given below.

• Do not expose the batteries to water, and take particular care to keep the terminals dry.

• Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a ﬁre.

• Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the batteries.

Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small children.

In cold locations, battery performance deteriorates and the time for which they can be used shortens markedly.

Memory card notes:

When using a new memory card, or a memory card has been initialized by a PC, be sure to format the card with your digital camera before using it.

To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC’s hard disk ﬁrst.

Do not change or delete the folder names or ﬁle names in the memory card from your PC, as this may make it impossible to recognize or misinterpret the original folder or ﬁle in your camera.

The photos taken by this camera are stored in the autogenerated folder in SD card. Please do not store photos that are not taken by this model of camera, as this may make it impossible to recognize the picture when the camera is in playback mode. Please do not expose the camera to harsh environments such as moisture or extreme temperatures, which may shorten the life of your camera or damage the batteries.

Do not remove memory card without turning the digital camera off to avoid possible damage of your memory card.

Do not switch off the digital camera when a writing process is on to avoid incomplete data writing and damaged pictures.

Align memory card correctly before inserting. Do not force memory card into slot.

LCD Screen notes:

Extremely high-precision technology has been used to manufacture the LCD screen so that most of the pixels are operational for use. However, there may be some minute points (black, white, red, blue or green) that constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and the recording is not affected in any way.

Avoid exposing the LCD screen to water; please remove any moisture on the LCD screen with a soft dry cleaning cloth.

If the LCD monitor is damaged, take particular care with the liquid crystal in the monitor. If any of the following situations arise, take the recommended immediate action indicated below:

• If liquid crystal comes in contact with your skin, wipe the area with a cloth and then wash thoroughly with soap and running water.

• If liquid crystal gets into your eye, ﬂush the affected eye with clean water for at least 15 minutes and then seek medical assistance.

• If liquid crystal is swallowed, ﬂush your mouth thoroughly with water. Drink large quantities of water and induce vomiting. Then seek medical assistance immediately.

ISO

The ISO function allows you to set the sensitivity of the camera sensor based on the brightness of the scene. To improve the performance in darker environments, a higher ISO value is required. On the other hand, a lower ISO value is needed when in bright conditions.

Pictures at higher ISO will naturally have more noise than those at lower ISO.

• WB: Fluorescent

• WB: Fluorescent CWF

• WB: Incandescent

• WB: Manual (Press the Shutter button to

detect WB)

The options of ISO include automatic, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 and 3200.

The available ISO values vary on different camera models.

AgfaPhoto SELECTA 14 AgfaPhoto SELECTA 14

Quality

The quality setting adjusts the compression ratio of the images. Higher quality settings give better photos, but will take up more memory space.

There are three options for picture quality:

• : Quality: Best

• : Quality: Fine

• : Quality: Normal

Size

The size setting refers to the image resolution in pixels. A higher image resolution allows you to print that image in larger sizes without degrading the image quality.

The bigger the number of recorded pixels is, the better the image quality becomes. As the number of recorded pixels becomes smaller, you will be able to record more images on a memory card.

Color

The color setting allows you to add artistic effects directly when taking pictures. You can try different color tones to alter the mood of your pictures.

The color options include:

• Color: Auto

• Color: Vivid

• Color: Black & White

• Color: Sepia
