IMPORTANT!
Never remove batteries, disconnect the AC adaptor from the camera, or unplug the adaptor while a picture is being saved. Doing so will prevent the current picture being saved and may corrupt other pictures already stored on the camera’s internal memory or on a memory card.
Outdoor Pictures without the Flash
Take pictures at approximately 18 inches to ∞ (45cm to ∞).
• Avoid intense sunlight that may cause sun spots in pictures.
• Always make sure that the sun or other light source is in front of the
