OverviewOverview

Overview

Your new stylish digital camera delivers high quality, 2272 x 1704 resolution images using a 4.0 Megapixels CCD sensor. Using either the optical viewfinder or the 1.5" LTPS 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 let you capture and store images without the need for an additional memory card. However, you may wish to expand the memory capacity by using an external memory card.

In addition to still images, you can record short videos by using the movie function.

Images you have taken can be downloaded to your computer using the USB cable (USB driver is 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.

DPOF functionality allows you to print your images on a DPOF compatible printer by simply inserting the memory card.

Preparing Your Camera

Installing the Batteries (Optional Accessory)Installing the Batteries (Optional Accessory)

Installing the Batteries (Optional Accessory)

You can use 2 AA size batteries to power the camera. Battery power is convenient for capturing images or recording video clips.

1. Make sure your camera is off.

2. Slide the battery/SD card cover lock.

3. Insert the batteries according to the correct polarity marks (+ or -).

4. Close the battery/SD card cover lock firmly.

You may use a CR-V3 Lithium battery pack. 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.

Using an AC Power Adapter (Optional Accessory)Using an AC Power Adapter (Optional Accessory)

Using an AC Power Adapter (Optional Accessory)

There’s also another way to power your camera–using an AC power Adapter. AC power adapter is

recommended for long periods of continuous use or for transferring images to your computer.

1. Make sure your camera is off.

2. Open the port cover and connect one end of the AC power adapter

to the jack labeled “DC IN”.

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. To prevent unexpected auto power off resulting from no battery power left during the process of transferring your images to the computer, use the AC power adapter as a power supply. The AC power adapter can only be used to power the camera. Batteries cannot be charged inside the camera.

Installing an SD Memory Card (Optional Accessory)Installing an SD Memory Card (Optional Accessory)

Installing an SD Memory Card (Optional Accessory)

Your camera comes with 16MB of internal memory, allowing you to store images and video clips in the camera. However, you can also expand the memory capacity by using the SD memory card. Optional SD memory card provide removable, reusable storage for images and video clips.

1. Make sure your camera is off.

2. Slide the SD card/battery cover lock.

3. Insert the SD memory card. If the card cannot be inserted, check the orientation.

4. Close the SD card/battery cover lock firmly.

To remove an SD memory card

1. Make sure your camera is off.

2. Slide the SD card/battery cover lock.

3. Press lightly on the edge of the memory card and it will eject.

To prevent valuable data from being accidentally 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. To fully capture all images you want, be sure to reformat first your SD memory card. Be sure to format an SD memory card by this camera before using it. Not all SD memory cards are compatible for this camera. We highly recommend to use Panasonic, Toshiba and SanDisk memory cards to demonstrate the camera’s performance.
