You can use either 2 AAA size batteries (Alkaline or Ni-MH) to power the camera.

2.1 Installing Batteries

Installing Batteries

2.12.1

Installing BatteriesInstalling Batteries

1. Make sure the camera is turned off.

2. Slide the battery cover in the direction of the

[OPEN] arrow.

3. Insert the batteries, noting correct polarity (+ and

-).

4. Close the battery cover firmly.

Different battery types and surrounding temperatures may affect the battery

•

performance. Avoid using batteries in extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten

•

the battery life and reduce camera performance. This low temperature will also influence Alkaline battery performance, therefore Ni-MH rechargeable battery is highly recommended.

If you are using the new rechargeable batteries or rechargeable batteries that have not

•

been used for an extended period of time (batteries that pass the expiry date are exceptions) might affect the number of pictures that can be taken. Therefore, to maximize their performance and lifetime, we recommend that you fully charge the batteries and discharge them for at least one complete cycle before use.

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 batteries of different types (together) or mix old and new batteries.

•

Never use manganese batteries.

1. Make sure the camera is turned off.

2. 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.

• Be sure to format the memory card with this camera before its initial usage. Refer to

Resolution and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file size, and compression ratio for your images. These settings affect the number of images that can be stored in memory, or on a memory card. As you get to know the camera, it is recommended

that you try each quality and resolution setting to get an appreciation for the effects that these settings will have on your images.

Higher resolution and higher quality images offer the best photographic results but produce

large files sizes. Therefore, few images will take up a lot of memory space.

High resolution and quality settings are recommended for printed output and situations requiring the finest detail.

Lower resolution/quality images take up less memory space and may be quite suitable for sharing images via email, in a report, or on a web page.

To change image resolution or image quality, perform these steps below:

1. To ggl e t h e MODE button to , and press the SE T

button.

2. Press the MENU button.

3. Select [Resolution]/[Quality] using the /

buttons and press the button.

Your camera adjusts the white balance of each scene automatically. However, the images that your camera captures will appear different under diff erent lighting conditions (sun, shade, fluorescent,tungsten lights). Unlike your eyes, which can easily adjust to different lighting conditions (lighting temperatures), a digital camera cannot always differentiate between lighting types. Under some lighting cond itions the image may appear in strange shades. If that occurs you may change the white balance setting by specifying a l ighting condition (temperature) most appropriate for your scene.
