Safety instructions
Dangers for children and people with
reduced ability to operate machinery
• This product is not intended for use by people (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or
for those without experience and/or knowledge, unless they
are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or they
have been instructed on its use.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the device. Children should not be allowed to use this
device without supervision.
• Keep the appliance and its accessories out of reach of children.
DANGER!
Keep plastic packaging out of reach of children.
There is a risk of suffocation.
6
Warnings
In order to avoid injury, please heed the following warnings while
using the product:
• Do not trigger the fl ash too close to the eyes. This can cause
damage to the eyes of the person being photographed.
• Keep at least 1 m away from children when you are working
with the fl ash.
• Do not open or dismantle the camera.
• If you are not going to use the camera for a period of time,
remove the batteries to prevent leakage
Battery information
Batteries may contain combustible materials. If not handled
properly, batteries may leak, heat up excessively, ignite or even
explode, which could result in damage to the camera and your
health.
WARNING!
Risk of explosion if batteries are replaced incorrectly.
Replace batteries only with the same or equivalent
type.
7
Please note the following general instructions for handling
batteries:
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Seek medical
attention immediately if a battery is swallowed.
• Before inserting the batteries, check that the contacts in the
device and on the batteries are clean and, if necessary, clean
them.
• Pay attention to the polarity (+/–) when inserting the battery.
• Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Strong, direct heat can
damage the battery. Therefore, keep the unit away from strong
heat sources.
• Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes. If any
of these areas come into contact with battery acid, rinse them
immediately with plenty of clean water and consult a doctor as
soon as possible.
• Never throw batteries into a fi re, short-circuit them or dismantle
them.
• Never expose the batteries to excessive heat, such as sunlight,
fi re or similar.
• Only replace batteries in dry conditions.
• Remove a leaking battery from the device immediately. Clean
the contacts before inserting a new battery. There is a risk of
skin irritations from battery acid!
8
Safety precautions
Take the following safety precautions, in order to avoid damage to
your camera and to always keep it in perfect condition.
• Keep away from salt and dust
If you have been using the camera on the beach or at the
seaside, wipe off salt and dust with a light, damp cloth. Carefully dry the camera afterwards.
• Keep the device away from strong magnetic fi elds.
Never place the camera too close to appliances which generate
strong electromagnetic fi elds, such as electric motors. Strong
electromagnetic fi elds may result in camera malfunctions or
corrupt data recordings.
• Avoid excessive heat
Do not use or store the camera in sunlight or at high
temperatures. Stress of this kind can result in battery leakage or
cause the case to warp.
• Avoid extreme fl uctuations in temperature
If you take the camera from a cold environment into a warm
one, or vice versa, drops of water can form outside and inside
the camera, which can cause malfunctions and can damage the
camera. Wait until the device has reached room temperature
before switching it on. Use of a carrying case or plastic case
offers a certain amount of protection against fl uctuations in
temperature.
9
• Do not drop the camera
Jarring or vibrations resulting from a fall can cause
malfunctions. Loop the carrying strap around your wrist when
you carry the camera.
• Do not remove batteries while data is being processed.
Switching off the power supply while image data is being
saved to or deleted from memory cards can result in data loss
or damage to the internal circuit or the memory.
• Treat the lens and all moving parts carefully.
Do not touch the lens or the lens barrel. Take care when
handling the memory card and the batteries. These parts are
not designed for high levels of stress.
• Batteries
At low temperatures there can be a sharp drop in battery
capacity.
• Memory cards
Switch off the power supply before you insert or remove the
memory card otherwise data could be lost. Memory cards may
warm up during use. Always take care when removing the
memory cards from the camera.
• Underwater operation
The camera is suitable for underwater operation up to a
maximum depth of 3 metres/30 minutes of diving. Please ensure that you do not dive deeper than 3 metres or for longer
than 30 minutes.
10
Never carry out repairs yourself
WARNING!
Never try to open or repair the appliance yourself.
There is a risk of electric shock.
• If there is a fault, contact the MEDION Service Centre or other
suitable specialist workshop.
Water resistance
• The camera is water resistant to a depth of 3 metres.
• The camera should only be used for a maximum of 30 minutes
under water.
• The accessories included are not water resistant.
11
Important notes before diving:
• Check the area around the battery compartment.
Remove any dirt, sand or other particles with a dry cloth.
• Ensure that the battery compartment is not scratched or
cracked.
• Ensure there are no cracks in the camera.
• Check that the battery compartment cover is fi rmly closed.
• Do not throw the camera into the water or jump into the water
with the camera as such dynamic forces may result in water
penetrating the camera’s interior.

The outlines are softer. This setting is particularly suitable for displaying on-screen.
Exposure compensation (EV)
By correcting the exposure value (EV) you can adjust pictures that
would otherwise be too dark or too light.
You can set the value in 13 stages between +2.0 EV and −2.0 EV.
Use a positive value when light conditions are poor and a negative
value in strong light.
Do not use the exposure correction when the subject is in a very
bright or very dark area or if you are using the fl ash. In that case,
use the automatic setting (”0”).

PC Connection
Transferring data to a computer
You can copy your pictures and videos to a computer.
Supported operating systems:
Windows XP SP3
Windows Vista SP1
Windows 7
Using a USB cable
Connect the supplied USB cable to the USB output on the
camera and to the USB port on the computer.
Navigate to the “DCIM” directory and, where applicable, to the
relevant subdirectories in order to display the fi les (*.jpg =
photos; *.avi = sound recordings). See also the directory
structure in the memory.
Press down the left mouse button and drag the relevant fi les to
the directory provided on the computer, e.g. in the folder “My
Documents”. You can also highlight the fi les and use the
Windows commands “Copy” and “Paste”.
The fi les are transferred to the computer and stored there. You can
display and process the fi les with a suitable software application.
45
DCF memory standard
The recordings on your camera are managed (saved, named, etc.)
as specifi ed by the DCF standard (DCF = Design Rule for Camera
File System). Captures on memory cards from other DCF cameras
can also be played back on your camera.
Card drive
If your PC has a card drive or is
connected to a card reader and
you have saved the shots on the
memory card, you can use this
to copy the shots onto the PC.
The card reader is also detected
as a removable data medium
on the Windows desktop (or in
“Computer” if using Vista).
46
Memory folder structure
The camera saves the pictures and videos fi les in different directories in the internal memory or on the memory card. The following
folders are automatically created upon saving:
DCIM: All pictures, videos and audio fi les are saved to this folder,
Normal shots are located in the “100MEDIA” folder and
automatically named with “PTDC” and a four-digit number. When
the highest number has been reached – “PTDC9999”, the next
folder “101DICAM” is created for the following shots, and so on.
A maximum of 999 folders can be created. If another capture/
recording is made after this, an error message will appear
(“Directory cannot be created”).
Insert a new memory card.
Do not try to change the folders and fi les in the camera’s own
directory structure (by renaming, etc.). You might destroy the fi les
by doing so.
