INTRODUCTION

Overview

Your new digital camera delivers high quality, 2032 x 1520 resolution images

using a 3.0 Mega pixel imager. 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 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.

GETTING STARTED

You can use either 2 AA size batteries (Alkaline or Ni-MH) or an AC power

adapter (optional accessory) to power the camera. Battery power is convenient

for capturing images or recording video clips while an AC power adapter is

useful when transferring images to your computer.

Installing Batteries

1. Make sure the camera is turned off.

2. Slide the battery cover in the direction of

the [OPEN] arrow.

3. Insert the batteries, noting correct polarity

(+ and -).

4. Close the battery cover firmly.

Different battery types and surrounding temperatures may affect the

battery performance.

Avoid using batteries in extremely cold environments as low temperatures

can shorten the battery life and reduce camera performance. This low

temperature will also influence Alkaline battery performance, therefore

Ni-MH rechargeable battery is highly recommended.

If you are using the new rechargeable batteries or rechargeable batteries

that have not been used for an extended period of time (batteries that

pass the expiry date are exceptions) might affect the number of pictures

that can be taken. Therefore, to maximize their performance and lifetime,

we recommend that you fully charge the batteries and discharge them

for at least one complete cycle before use.

If you will not be using the batteries for an extended period of time,

remove them from the camera to prevent leakage or corrosion.

Never use batteries of different types (together) or mix old and new

batteries.

Never use manganese batteries.

2. Open the terminal cover and connect one

end of the AC power adapter to the jack

labeled "DC IN 3V".

3. Connect the other end to an electrical

outlet.

Make sure to use only the AC power adapter specified for the camera.

Damage caused by the use of an incorrect adapter is not covered under

the warranty.

additional images and video clips.

1. Make sure the camera is turned off.

2. Slide the memory card cover in the direction

of the [OPEN] arrow.

3. Insert an SD memory card:

The front side of the memory card

(printed arrow) should face towards the

erased from an SD memory card you can slide

the write protect tab (on the side of the SD memory

card) to “LOCK”.

To save, edit, or erase data on an SD memory card, you must unlock

the card.

Attaching the Hand Strap

To prevent accidental dropping of the camera, always use the strap.

Attach the hand strap as follows:

1. Thread the small loop of the hand strap

through the hand strap eyelet on the

camera.

OK button.

Setting Image Resolution and Quality

Resolution and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file

size, and compression ratio for your images. These settings affect the number

of images that can be stored in memory, or on a 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 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 these steps below:

1. Set the mode dial to .

2. Press the MENU button.

3. Select [Image size]/[Quality] using the /

buttons and press the OK button.

4. Use the / buttons to select the setting

that you desire, and press the OK button.

Your camera adjusts the exposure of each

scene automatically. However, if the subject

is very dark, or very bright, you may override

the camera’s automatic exposure determination

to make the subject brighter or darker. This is

called EV compensation.

Examples of Exposure Compensation:

Positive (+) Compensation

- Imaging printed text (black characters on

white paper)

- Portraiture with back lighting

- Very bright scenes (such as snow) and highly

reflective subjects

- Shots made up predominantly of sky

Negative (-) Compensation

- Imaging of printed text (white characters on

- Scenes with low reflectivity, such as shots of

green or dark foliage

Your camera adjusts the white balance of each

scene automatically. However, the images that

your camera captures will appear different

under different lighting conditions (sun, shade,

fluorescent, tungsten lights). Unlike your eyes,

which can easily adjust to different lighting

conditions (lighting temperatures), a digital

camera cannot always differentiate between

lighting types. Under some lighting conditions

the image may appear in strange shades. If

that occurs you may change the white balance

setting by specifying a lighting condition

(temperature) most appropriate for your scene.

The ISO speed defines light sensitivity. The

higher the ISO number is, the more sensitive

it is to light. When recording under dark

situations or recording a fast-moving subject,

use a high-number setting. When recording

high-quality images, use a low-number setting.

You can stamp the date on the bottom left of

your still images.
