• Setting the Picture Resolution and Compression
Picture resolution refers to the number of pixels in a digital picture. Picture
quality depends on the JPEG le compression that the camera applies when
the picture is taken. Higher resolution and less compression makes better
quality and occupies more memory space. Smaller size and normal quality
pictures are easier to email while larger size and ne quality pictures are
better for printing.

reacts to light. The higher the ISO value, the less light needed to make an

speeds or smaller apertures. In a digital camera, higher ISO value allows
higher shutter speed, at the expense of mottle or grain appearing in the nal
picture.

7 Using Memory
• Using memory
Your camera comes with built-in ash memory for storing pictures and video
clips. You can expand the memory using a commercially available SD
card (up to 1 GB). 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 ash memory while
a memory card is installed in the camera. See pages 90 to 91 for storage
capacities.
Memory card precautions:
1. Use only a SD memory card with this camera.
2. An 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 ofce.
4. We recommend that you format a memory card when using it for the
rst 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 your
digital camera, and valuable data in your existing SD card may be distorted or lost
when the card is inserted in your digital camera. We strongly recommend the user
to use a NEW or formatted SD card for your digital camera. The manufacturer is
not liable for losing or corrupting any valuable data or les in your SD card due to
improper operation.
• As tests prove, your digital camera will work with most popular brands of memory
cards
