GENERAL WARNINGS
• Do not immerse the device in water or subject the camera to impact or shock.

• Do not use or store the device in locations that may adversely
affect the product such as rain, snow, desert, and magnetic fields.
• Check all major functions when the device is unused for a long
period of time. This is to ensure its full operation. Maintain regular
testing and cleaning of your device.
• Do not look through the viewfinder at the sun or other strong lights.
This could damage your eyesight.

File Number.
NOTE: The internal file counter increments by 1 regardless of the
media unless it is reset.
B. Under the New option, the internal file counter to "0001" for new
media only. But in case there are image files already present inside
the storage media, it will start counting from the highest file number of
the media.
NOTE: The File Number setting should be set to New only if either the

new SD card has been installed.
FORMAT
This option will format all data in either the internal memory or the
external SD card / MMC, including all protected files.
CAUTION: Do not eject the SD card / MMC while the card is being

NOTE: The reset function can reset all the settings to factory default
except for the current time and date.
LCD BRIGHT (LCD BRIGHTNESS)
You can adjust the LCD brightness level to
compensate for different lighting conditions, for
example.
• If there is plenty of ambient light such as in
bright sunshine, you can adjust the brightness
levels higher to make the display easier to see.
• If ambient light levels are relatively low such as
indoors or at night, you can adjust the brightness
levels lower to make the display easier to see.
TIP: To maximize battery life, keep brightness settings low.
