Attach the Strap
Dropping a camera can cause serious damage both
internally and externally. So, to secure your investment,
attach the hand strap first thing, and use it every time.
1. Insert the small loop at the end of the strap under the
strap eyelet.
2. Insert the other end of the strap through the loop to tie
the strap onto the strap eyelet.
Power Supply
This digital camera features two ways to supply
power to it; either use two batteries (size AA) or the
included AC adapter.
Inserting Batteries
1. On the bottom of the camera, slide the battery
chamber cover out in the direction of the large
arrow to open it. A click can be heard when the
compartment is released.
2. Insert two (2) AA batteries. Make sure to match the
positive and negative ends of the batteries to the
markings inside the battery compartment.
3. Close the battery chamber cover by pushing down
firmly and sliding it back until the latch closes with a
click.
Important Notes!
• Never use manganese batteries.
• Your camera will not work if the batteries are inserted incorrectly.
• Remove batteries from camera if it will not be used for an extended
period of time.
• Never mix old batteries with new ones.
• Never mix batteries of different types.
• Never destroy batteries or dispose of by fire. Doing so can cause an
explosion or leak caustic materials into the environment.
The battery compartment
Using AC Adapter
To power the camera from an electrical outlet,
use the supplied AC adapter. To attach the
adapter to your digital camera:
1. Open the rubber connector cover on
the camera’s side, using the flap
handle and pulling it upwards.
Plug the AC adapter into the proper
camera jack. Make sure the plug slides
all the way into the jack.
The supplied AC adapter will allow the
digital camera to operate without batteries
Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet
making sure the prongs slide all the
way in.
Turn the camera’s power on by
depressing the power button on the back of the camera.
Important Notes!
• Be sure to use the supplied AC adapter only. Using any other AC
adapter may cause serious damage to the camera, voiding the warranty.
• When unplugging the AC Adapter from the wall socket, be sure to grasp
the plug {not the cord).
• Avoid undue bending, pulling, or twisting of the AC adapter cord.
• If the power cord gets damaged (exposed wires, disconnection, etc.), please
contact the authorized RCA reseller to purchase a new AC adapter. Use of
a damaged power cord may cause fire or electrical shock.
• Be sure to power off your camera before connecting or disconnecting
the adapter.
• The AC adapter may become warm to the touch after extended periods
of use.This is normal and is not cause for alarm.
Auto Power Off
To conserve energy, the camera goes into “sleep” mode automatically if no buttons or
switches are pressed for a certain amount of time. Press the POWER button on the back
of the camera to restore power to full.
Power source inactivity period: Battery- 2 min.; AC adapter- N/A (will not time out).
Recording Pictures
Since there needs to be pictures taken before the camera will display stored files, let’s
walk through the steps to capture images.
Your camera automatically defaults to recording mode (as indicated by the [S icon on
the rear LCD display) the first time it is turned on. If, for some reason, the camera is not
in record mode, quickly pressing and releasing the [m] button near the lower right of the
LCD screen should display the record icon.
Frame Your Picture
Frame the picture with the optical viewfinder using the
marks on the edge to enclose the image you want to take.
The actual picture captured will be slightly larger than
what you see in the optical viewfinder.
Capturing Images
Center the image you want to take in the viewfinder and
press the shutter release button on top of the camera to capture the image
The shutter release button
• Do not block the lens or flash with your fingers.
• Never open the battery chamber cover, disconnect the AC adapter from the camera,
or unplug the adapter from the wall socket while an image is being stored. Doing so
may cause the image to be lost.
Just after the picture is taken, the green light near the optical viewfinder on the back of
the camera blmks while the image is processing. The picture number on the LCD screen
may decrease by one after the picture is stored, depending on camera settings.
Viewing Stored Images

viewed on a TV screen or downloaded to your computer.
