• Setting the Picture Quality
A digital picture’s quality depends on both its resolution and the JPEG le compression that the camera applies when you take the picture. Resolution refers to the number of pixel in a digital picture. Higher resolution and less compression makes better quality which occupies more memory space. Smaller size pictures and normal quality are easier to email while larger size and ne quality are better for printing.
1. Turn on the camera.
2. Set the Mode selector to Capture mode (the Status LED blinks once).
3. Press the Quality button will alter the picture quality setting.
Fine - high resolution and ne quality are good for printing
photo.

• Using the SD (Secure Digital) Card
Your camera comes with 8MB / 16MB optional built-in Nand ash memory for storing pictures, audio clips and video clips as you record them. You can expand the memory using a commercially available SD (up to 256MB). The camera senses whether a memory card is inserted, and automatically saves pictures, audio clips or video clips accordingly. Note that you cannot save pictures, audio clips or video clips to the built-in Nand ash memory while a memory card is installed in the camera.
IMPORTANT!
• Files contained in the SD card recorde d by other ca meras may con ict with
the PDC 3070 camera, and valuable data in your existing SD card may be distorted or lost when the card is inse rted in the PD C 3070 camera. We strongly recommend the user to use a NEW or format ted SD card for the SD camera. We will not guarantee any valuable data or les (oth er than PDC 3070 cam era’s) in your SD card.
• 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.
Memory card precautions:
1. Use only a SD memory card with this camera. Proper operation is not
guaranteed when any other type of card 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 you more than one memory card whenever using the camera far away from your home or ofce.
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.
