Getting to Know Your Digital Camera
Overview
Your new digital camera delivers high quality images at up to 2048x1536 resolution as well as short movie clips using a 3.2-Megapixel CMOS sensor. With the optical viewfinder and built-in 1.5" TFT color LCD monitor, you can compose images and then examine them in detail. The camera adjusts exposure and colour balance automatically or lets you change these settings manually and features a 4x digital zoom to increase your control over the pictures you take. A Movie Hotkey lets you switch rapidly between taking movie clips and taking photographs. The camera is also ideally suited for use as a PC camera hooked up to your home computer
16MB of memory is built in to your camera so you can take photos and movie clips without installing a memory card. The memory card slot allows you to increase the storage capacity if you wish. When you want to print out images, play movie clips to friends, post images on websites or inside emails, images and movie clips can be downloaded from the camera to a computer where you have the option of editing them using ArcSoft PhotoImpression and ArcSoft VideoImpression software provided.
