• Setting the Image Size and Quality
Picture resolution refers to the number of pixels in a digital picture. Picture
quality depends on the JPEG file compression that the camera applies
when the picture is taken. Higher resolution and less compression make
better quality which occupies more memory space. Smaller size pictures
with normal quality are easier to email while larger size with fine quality
are better for printing.

• Setting the ISO
This function enables you to change the camera’s sensitivity to light by
selecting the different ISO values. ISO is a measure of how quickly your
camera reacts to light. The higher the ISO value, the less light the camera
needs to make an exposure, allowing the same exposure to be achieved
with higher shutter speeds or smaller apertures. In a digital camera, higher
ISO value allows higher shutter speed, at the expense of mottled or grain
appearing in the final picture.

• About DPOF
DPOF stands for “Digital Print Order Format”, which is a format for
recording on a memory card or other medium which digital camera images
should be printed and how many copies of the image should be printed.
Then you can print on a DPOF-compatible printer or at a professional
print service from the memory card in accordance with the file name and
number of copies settings recorded on the card.
With this camera, you should always select images by viewing them on
the LCD screen. Do not specify images by file name without viewing the
file contents.
IMPORTANT!
DPOF print settings can be congured for images on a memory card only, not for
images in the camera’s built-in memory.

8 Using the SD (Secure Digital) Card
• Using the SD Card
Your camera comes with built-in flash memory for storing pictures and
video clips. You can expand the memory using a commercially available
SD card (up to 1GB). The camera senses whether a memory card is
inserted, and automatically saves pictures and video clips accordingly.
Note that you cannot save pictures or video clips to the built-in flash
memory while a memory card is installed in the camera. See pages 100 to
101 for storage capacities.
Memory card precautions:
1. Use only a SD memory card with this camera.
2. Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause
data corruption or even loss. Always make sure that you always back
up important data on other media (MO disc, computer hard drive,
etc.).
3. If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can restore normal
operation by formatting it. However, we recommend that you always
take along with more than one memory card whenever using the
camera far away from your home or office.
4. We recommend that you format a memory card when using it for the
first time, or whenever the card you are using seems to be the cause
of abnormal pictures. Remember to format a memory card if it was
used in another digital camera or other devices.

IMPORTANT!
• Make sure you turn off the camera before inserting or removing a memory
card.
• Be sure to orient the card correctly when inserting it. Never try to force a
memory card into the slot when you feel resistance.
• SD memory cards have a write protection switch that you can use to protect
les from accidental deletion. However, you must remove the write protection
whenever you want to record new les onto it, format it, or delete its les.
• Files contained in the SD card recorded by other cameras may conict with
the i733 camera, and valuable data in your existing SD card may be distorted
or lost when the card is inserted in the i733 camera. We strongly recommend
the user to use a NEW or formatted SD card for the i733 camera. The
manufacturer is not liable for losing or corrupting any valuable data or les in
your SD card due to improper operation.
Inserting a SD card
1. Turn off the camera.
2. Open the SD card door by pushing it outwards as illustrated.
3. Insert the SD card and ensure the card is inserted the correct position
as illustrated.
4. Close the SD card door by pressing it downwards and then slide it
back to lock.

IMPORTANT!
• Never insert any other object into the camera’s SD card slot. Doing so creates
the risk of damage to the camera and card.
• Should water or any foreign objects ever get into the card slot, immediately
turn off the camera, remove the battery or disconnect the AC adapter, and
contact your dealer or the nearest service provider.
•
Never remove a card from the camera while the camera is powered on. Doing
so can cause the picture or video recording operation to fail, and even damage
the memory card.
