Getting to Know Your Camera
Overview
The camera with 10 Mega Pixel sensor can take H.264 movies. By way of using H.264 technology, more
videos can be taken within certain amount of memory. High quality images with up to 16 mega-pixels
can also be delivered smoothly. With a color LCD monitor, users can compose images and examine
them easily.

screen HDTV.
Moreover, the camera has an advanced uploading feature. With the exclusive built-in Internet Direct
application, you can upload the videos captured by the camera to Internet more effortlessly.
ISO sensitivity and color balance can either be adjusted automatically or changed manually. A 10x digital
zoom helps you to control over the movies and pictures you take.
The varied effect options, such as Time Lapse and Slow Motion, make recording more fun.
The built-in memory allows you to take pictures and to record movies without a memory card. The
memory card slot allows users to increase the storage capacity.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
If the LCD preview is not clear while shooting, how can the focus be adjusted?1.
Try to switch between Macro and Auto Mode.
The ash is not working.2.
The battery power is low.
The camera is in DC power mode.
The les on the memory card do not display smoothly when the LCD shows the “!” marking.3.
The “!” means the SD card is low speed or is having wrong content inside. The way to solve this
condition is to format SD card by the camera instead of a PC (Please refer to the detailed Format
instruction in Section 5).
Why is camera ash not active when taking pictures?4.
In the ash auto mode, the camera ash res ONLY when necessary (e.g. in the dark).
Why do some of my indoor pictures look blurry and dark?5.
The camera extends picture exposure time under low light/ indoor condition. Keep the camera (and
the target subject) steady for several seconds when taking pictures. The shutter will sound when
pictures are being taken.
How do I charge battery?6.
You must use the supplied AC charger or the USB cable.
The camera must be turned OFF; blinking light conrms charging, and the light becomes constant
when the charging has been completed. Then, the light will turn itself off automatically after 5 minutes.
(In AC charging Mode).
