INTRODUCTION
Overview
Your new digital camera delivers high quality, 2560 x 1920 resolution images using a 3.1
Mega pixel sensor. Using 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 (up to 1GB
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 ) 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.

Setting Image Resolution and Quality
Resolution and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file size, and
compression ratio for your image. These settings affect the number of images that can be
stored in internal memory, or on an SD 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
-14-
English
memory space and may be quite suitable for sharing images via e-mail, in a report, or on a
web page.
To change image resolution or image quality, perform the steps below:
1. Press the MENU button.
