INTRODUCTION
Overview
Your new digital camera delivers high quality, 2560 x 1960 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 512MB
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 softw are, 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.
