CAUTIONS

Do not place this camera in a location affected by oil fumes or steam, such

as near a cooking stove or humidifier. This may cause a fire or an electrical

shock.

Do not leave this camera in a location subject to extremely high temperatures,

such as in a sealed vehicle or in direct sunlight. Exposure to high

temperatures may adversely affect the camera case and internal

components and may cause a fire.

Do not cover or wrap the camera with a cloth or quilt. This may cause heat

to build up and distort the camera case and cause a fire. Always use the

camera and accessories in well-ventilated locations.

Handle the camera carefully and do not expose the camera to shock or

vibration. Handling the camera roughly may cause a malfunction.

Do not use batteries other than those specified for use with your camera.

Use of unsuitable batteries may result in the batteries splitting, or leaking

and may cause a fire, injury, or soiling of the battery compartment.

When placing the batteries into the camera, check the polarity markings on

the batteries ( - and + ) to ensure that the batteries are inserted correctly.

Incorrect battery polarity will result in camera inoperability and may result

in the batteries splitting or leaking and causing a fire, injury, or soiling of the

battery compartment.

Remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for an extended period

of time. The batteries may leak and cause a fire, injury or soiling of the

battery compartment. If the batteries leak, clean and wipe the battery

compartment carefully and install new batteries. Wash your hands carefully

if you touch the battery fluid.

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.

16-E

VIDEO OUT

Using an AC Power Adapter (optional accessory)

1. Make sure the camera is turned off.

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.
