CAMERA OPERATION

Important battery information

The Eye-Q fun.cam camera uses a type of memory that continually draws
power to retain the pictures in the camera’s internal memory even if the
camera is powered off. If the battery power is depleted and you have not
transferred your images to the computer, you will lose them. It is strongly
recommended that you transfer your images to the computer promptly and
then remove the batteries to extend their life.

If you have not transferred your pictures to your computer and you receive
a battery low warning, change the batteries immediately and swiftly. The
camera will retain images for around one minute after the batteries are
removed. Failure to replace the batteries will result in the loss of your
images.

Always use fresh batteries to optimize the performance of your camera.
