1. Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Stylus 1000. Using the latest innovations in technology the Stylus 1000 offers fun,
affordable and easy to use digital imaging.
Although you probably want to get started right away, please take a few minutes to read this guide and familiarise yourself
with your new Stylus 1000. Your new Stylus 1000 will take approximately 20 Hi-Res (High Resolution) or 80 Low-Res
(Low Resolution) images, which you upload to your PC (Personal Computer) running Windows® 98 and Windows® Me or
Macintosh™ running OS 8.6 - 9.1 via the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port.
You can also use your Stylus 1000 to capture not only snaps of your family and friends, but also video of them in action.
Your Stylus 1000 can also be used as a Web Cam. If you have an internet connection and microphone (not supplied) you
can chat face-to-face with friends and colleagues, conferencing in real time.
Please note that your images are stored on your Stylus 1000’s internal memory. When you have taken your images, the
Stylus 1000 will wait for 30 seconds and then automatically switch to Stand-by mode, which draws a constant trickle of
power from the battery.
