INTRODUCTION

Overview

Your new digital camera delivers high quality, 2048 x 1536 resolution images using a 3.2 Megapixels CCD sensor. Using either the optical viewfinder or the 2.5" TFT color image LCD monitor, you can compose images and then examine them in detail. An auto-flash sensor automatically detects the shooting (lighting) conditions and determines whether the flash should be used. This feature helps ensure that your images turn out right.

In addition to still images, you can also record short videos by using the movie function. Images you have taken can be downloaded to your computer using the USB cable (USB

driver is required only for Win 98 and Mac OS 8.6). You can enhance and retouch your images on your computer by using the provided editing software, or image editing software you may already own. You may share your images with your friends via e-mail, in a report, or on a website.

DPOF functionality allows you to print your images on a DPOF compatible printer by simply inserting the SD memory card.
