MUSIC PLAYBACK

______________________________

MP3 mode

MP3 has become a standard format for saving digital music, particularly in
the Internet. Numerous Web sites offer MP3 music files that can be down­loaded free of charge or for a fee. The MP3 files that are stored on your PC’s
hardisk are sent to the device via the USB interface using the enclosed adap­ter cable.

The music is played back from an integrated flash memory or from the
memory card. These cards are small in size, lightweight yet sturdy. There is
also a pre-recorded, write-protected variety of this card, the ROS card
(record on silicon).

Copying music files onto the memory card

1 Switch on the camera by pressing »POWER«.

2 Set the rotary switch to the »/« operating mode.

3 Plug the enclosed USB cable into the »

USB socket of the computer.
