3 Using Your Digital Camera
Charging the battery
Long battery life is one of the key benefits of this camera compared to other digital cameras. On a full charge, the camera will take hundreds of images. Your camera battery has already been charged prior to shipment. So, you should be able to take pictures without recharging it. However, just to be safe, you may want to follow the instructions below to make sure that your camera is fully charged.
Note: Install the provided software before initial charging of the camera.
The Lithium-polymer battery used in the camera recharges automatically when the camera is plugged into a PC via the USB cable. When the battery is charging, the green LED will blink. After fully charged, the green LED remains ON.
Lithium-polymer battery tips:
•Safety note: Always observe the precautions described in Section 7.
•It takes approximately 3 hours to fully charge a battery.
•The battery can be charged at any time.
•If power is low, the red LED blinks 5 times and then the camera turns off.
•Recharge the battery immediately.
•A fully charged battery allows the camera to take about 90 pictures with Flash and 440 pictures without Flash.
•To ensure that your battery lasts as long as possible, switch the camera off when you are not using it.

Turning on the camera
Press the Power button once to turn on the camera. Press it again to turn the camera off.
Note:
•The camera has an automatic time-out feature to conserve battery life. After one minute (or 2 minutes) the camera will time-out (turn off). When timed out, the camera will not take a photo when you push the shutter button. Press the Power button once to turn on the camera again.
•If power is low, the red LED blinks 5 times and then the camera turns off. Recharge the battery immediately.
Turning on the LCD
The LCD screen comes on automatically in preview mode when the power is turned on. Press the LCD button to switch to preview mode. Press the LCD button again to turn off the LCD.
