INTRODUCTION
Overview
Your new digital camera delivers high quality, 2560 x 1920 resolution images using a
5.25 Megapixels CCD imager. Using either the optical viewfinder or the 1.5” 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.
SD Memory Card is a storage medium for saving images that you have photographed. Even
if the camera’s power is turned OFF, the images saved on the SD Memory Card are not
erased. SD Memory Card can be repeatedly read and written.
Images you have taken can be downloaded to your computer using the USB cable
(USB driver required 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 have already owned. 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 memory card.
Note:
The memory card testing results for 512MB are based on Toshiba, Panasonic and Sandisk
SD Memory Cards.

lever. After the battery is slightly ejected, pull out the battery slowly.
Note:
Use only the specified battery type (Lithium Ion).
If you are not going to use the battery for an extended period of time, remove it from the
camera to prevent leakage or corrosion.
Never use different type of battery.
Avoid using battery in extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten
the battery life and reduce the camera performance.
Duracell Non-rechargeable Lithium battery is possible to use for emergency case, but the
camera performance can not be guaranteed.
17
Using an AC Power Adapter (Optional)
1. Make sure the camera power is off.
2. Connect one end of the AC power adapter to the
DC IN 5V terminal.
3. Connect the other end of the AC power adapter to a
power outlet.
Note:
Make sure to use only the AC power adapter specified for the camera. Damage caused
by the use of an incorrect adapter is not covered under the warranty.

TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS
Photography in the Auto Capture Mode [ ]
Your camera provides a single image capturing, continuous image capturing and auto
exposure bracketing capturing. It is equipped with both an optical viewfinder and a 1.
5” full color TFT LCD monitor to compose images. Taking images by using the optical
viewfinder will conserve more battery power. If your battery is in low level, it is recommended
to compose images by using the viewfinder. The LCD monitor can help you accurately
compose the pictures and examine all details. However, this may also consume you
more battery power.
Using the Viewfinder
1. Turn the camera on by pressing the POWER
button.
2. Set the mode dial to [ ].
3. Compose your shot in the viewfinder.
Turn the “diopter adjustment dial” until the
image appears clearly within the viewfinder.

press it down fully.
The viewfinder LED indicator lights red while
the camera is processing a captured image.
Note:
Voice memo is starting to record at still image
capture mode just after the photograph is taken in
case of activating this function. It provides 10
seconds for recording and only can be done
once. To terminate recording, press the shutter
button down fully.

Setting the Image Size and Quality
Size and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file size, and
compression ratio for your image. These settings affect the number of images
that can be stored in an SD Memory Card.
Larger and higher quality images offer the best photographic results but take up more
memory space. Larger/quality settings are recommended for printed output and
situations requiring the finest detail. Smaller/quality images take up less memory
space and may be quite suitable for sharing images via e-mail, in a report, or on a web
page.
To change image size or image quality,
1. Set the mode dial to one of [
