CAUTIONS
Do not place this camera in a location affected by oil fumes or steam, such as near a cooking stove or
humidifier. This may cause a fire or an electrical shock.
Do not leave this camera in a location subject to extremely high temperatures, such as in a sealed
vehicle or in direct sunlight. Exposure to high temperatures may adversely affect the camera case and
internal components and may cause a fire.
Do not cover or wrap the camera or AC power adapter with a cloth or quilt. This may cause heat to build
up and distort the camera case and cause a fire. Always use the camera and accessories in wellventilated locations.
Handle the camera carefully and do not expose the camera to shock or vibration. Handling the camera
roughly may cause a malfunction.
When handling and moving the camera, always unplug it from the power source (if you are using an AC
power adapter). Unplug the adapter from the AC power outlet after you have disconnected the camera.
Failure to do so may result in an electrical shock.
Do not use batteries other than those specified for use with your camera. Use of unsuitable batteries
may result in the batteries splitting, or leaking and may cause a fire, injury, or soiling of the battery
compartment.
When placing the batteries into the camera, check the polarity markings on the batteries ( - and + ) to
ensure that the batteries are inserted correctly. Incorrect battery polarity will result in camera inoperability
and may result in the batteries splitting or leaking and causing a fire, injury, or soiling of the battery
compartment.
Remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for an extended period of time. The batteries may leak and
cause a fire, injury or soiling of the battery compartment. If the batteries leak, clean and wipe the battery
compartment carefully and install new batteries. Wash your hands carefully if you touch the battery fluid.

Introduction
Overview
Your new digital camera delivers high quality, 2048 x 1536 resolution images using a 3.3 Megapixels CCD
imager. Using either the optical viewfinder or the 1.5" TFT color image LCD monitor, you can compose
images and then examine them in detail. An auto-flash sensor automatically detects the shooting (lighting)
conditions and determines whether the flash should be used. This feature helps ensure that your images
turn out right.
16MB internal (built-in) memory lets you capture and store images without the need for an additional
memory card. However, you may wish to expand the memory capacity by using an external memory card.
In addition to still images, you can record short videos using the movie function.
Images you have taken can be downloaded to your computer using the USB cable (USB driver required for
Win 98 and Mac OS 8.6) You can enhance and retouch your images on your computer by using the
provided editing software, or image editing software you may already own. You may share your images
with your friends via e-mail, in a report, or on a website.
DPOF functionality allows you to print your images on a DPOF compatible printer by simply inserting the
memory card.

Getting Started
You can use either 2 AA size batteries (Alkaline, Ni-MH) or an AC power adapter (optional accessory) to
power the camera. Battery power is convenient for capturing images or video clips while an AC adapter
power is useful when transferring images to your computer.
Installing Batteries
1. Make sure the camera is turned off.
2. Slide the battery cover.
3. Insert the batteries, noting correct polarity (+ and -).
4. Close the battery cover firmly.
Note:
A CR-V3 Lithium battery pack can also be used as the power supply.
If you will not be using the batteries for an extended period of time, remove them from the camera to
prevent leakage or corrosion.
Never use manganese batteries.
Never use batteries of different type (together) or mix old and new batteries.
Avoid using batteries in extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten the battery life and reduce
camera performance.
EN-15
Using an AC Power Adapter (optional accessory)
1. Make sure the camera is turned off.
2. Connect one end of the AC power adapter to the jack labeled "DC IN".
3. Connect the other end to an electrical outlet.
Note:
Make sure to use only the AC power adapter specified for the camera.
Damage caused by the use of an incorrect adapter is not covered under the
warranty.
Using an AC power adapter while transferring images to your computer prevents unexpected automatic power
off of the camera.
Attaching the Hand Strap
To prevent accidental dropping of the camera, always use the strap.
Attach the hand strap as follows:
1. Thread the small loop of the hand strap through the strap eyelet
on the camera.
2. Pull the large loop through the small loop until the strap is firmly
secured.
EN-16
Inserting an SD Memory Card (optional accessory)
The camera comes with 16MB of internal memory, allowing you to store images and video clips in the

can store more images and video clips.
1. Make sure the camera is off.
2. Open the card cover.
3. Insert an SD memory card:
The front side of the memory card (printed arrow)
should face towards the rear side of the camera.
If the card cannot be inserted, check the orientation.
4. Close the card cover.
To remove a memory card:
Make sure the camera is off. Open the card cover. Press lightly on the edge of the memory card and it will
