Loading the battery

1. Open the battery/SD-card compartment by pressing down its
cover and pushing it in the direction of the arrow towards
the outer edge of the camera body.

2. Open the compartment.

3. Insert the Li-Ion battery into the compartment, making sure
that its contacts are properly oriented.

4. Close the battery-compartment cover.

5. Fully charge the battery before using the camera for the fi rst
time.

Inserting the SD/MM card

Insert the memory card so that its cut-off corner is opposite the
outer edge of the camera (the gold-plated circuits should be
facing towards the front of the camera).

When there is no SD/MM card in the camera, the TFT screen
will display the number of pictures available on the internal
memory.

Without a memory card in the camera, the latter can save
a limited number of pictures in its internal memory.

Taking pictures

1. Turn the mode switch to „Camera“ so that the camera icon
points at the mode selector.

2. The camera is ready to shoot when the LED next to the
viewfi nder eyepiece lights green.

3. Check battery status on the LCD.

4. Press the navigation switch to the left to select the desired
fl ash mode.

5. Press the shutter release halfway and wait until the green
LED signals that the camera is ready to fi re. As soon as this
is the case, you may press down the shutter release fully to
take your picture.

6. After the exposure, the counter in the TFT screen indicating
the approximate number of pictures still available will read
one frame less.

Caution:

To avoid loss of data, do not switch off the camera after an
exposure before your picture has been properly saved. While
saving is in progress, the bottom viewfi nder LED will blink red.

Note:

The LCD display may drain your battery. It is therefore advisable
to switch it off whenever you don‘t actually take pictures. The
camera will automatically switch itself or the LCD off after 1, 3
or 5 minutes of non-use (selectable).
