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 first 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 viewfinder eyepiece lights green.
3.Check battery status on the LCD.
4.Press the navigation switch to the left to select the desired flash mode.
5.Press the shutter release halfway and wait until the green LED signals that the camera is ready to fire. 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 viewfinder 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).
