• Reset Feature
In the rare situation that the camera locks up (usually in a very low power situation), we have incorporated a “camera reset switch” on the back of the camera that allows the camera processor to be reset without loosing any images. To use the reset switch, simply depress the reset switch gently (holding for around 5 seconds) using a paper clip or ball point pen. The camera will repower and return to the mode prior to the lock-up. It is important to note, that the camera probably needs to be recharged immediately in order to avoid
locking up again.

• Setting the Image Quality
Picture resolution refers to the number of pixels in a digital picture. Picture quality depends on both its resolution and the JPEG le compression that the camera applies when the picture is taken. Higher resolution with less compression make better quality which occupies more memory space. Smaller size pictures with normal quality are easier to email while larger size pictures with ne quality are better for printing. Turn on the camera and set the Capture/ Playback selector to Capture
mode .

Here are the approximate number of pictures you can expect the camera to hold at each setting: Resolution 1280 X 960 Super High:

NOT E:
Scene complexity affects a picture’s le size. For example, a picture of trees in autumn has a larger le size than a picture of blue sky at the same resolution and quality setting. Therefore, the number of pictures that can be taken is for reference only.

6 Using SD Card
• Using the SD (Secure Digital) Card
Your camera comes with 16MB of built-in ash memory for storing pictures and video clips as you record them. You can expand the memory using a commercially available SD card. The camera senses whether a memory card is inserted, and automatically saves pictures and video clips accordingly. Note that you cannot save pictures to the built-in ash memory while a memory card is installed in the camera.
IM POR TANT!
• The PDC 1075 only supports SD card for up to 128MB.
• 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 protect switch, which you can use to protect
against accidental deletion of picture data. Note, however, if you write protect a SD memory card, you must remove write protection whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete its pictures and video clips.
• Files contained in the card may conict with the PDC 1075 came ra,
valuable data in your existing SD card may be distorted or lost when th e card is inser ted in the PDC 1075 camera. We strongly recomme nd the user to use a NEW or formatted SD card for the PDC 1075 camera. We will not guarantee any data or formatted les other than PDC 1075 camera’s in your SD card.
PDC 1075 US UM BF.indd 4/30/03, 4:21 PM28

Inserting the SD (Secure Digital) Card
Turn off the camera. Insert the SD card and ensure the card is inserted correctly as illustrated.
Removing the SD (Secure Digital) Card
To remove the SD card, turn off your camera, gently push the SD card inwards and then release it for the SD card to eject from the SD card slot.
IMPORTANT!
• Never insert any other objects besides
a SD memory card into the camera’s card slot. Doing so creates the risk of damaging the camera and card.
• Should water or any foreign objects
ever get into the card slot, immediately turn off the camera, and contact your dealer or the nearest service provider.

IM POR TANT!
• You can format a memory card on the camera or on a computer. However
formatting a memory card on a computer takes much longer.
• Note that the data deleted by a format operation cannot be recovered. Make
sure you do not have any useful data currently stored on a memory card before you format it.
PDC 1075 US UM BF.indd 4/30/03, 4:21 PM30

Memory Card Precautions
1. Use only a SD memory card with this camera. Proper operation is not
guaranteed when any other type of cards is used.
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 the home or ofce.
4. We recommend that you format a memory card before using it for
the rst time after purchasing it, 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.
