FlatFOTO 2.0 Digital Camera with Color LCD

1 Brief Description

Your FlatFOTO 2.0 Digital Camera with color LCD display is roughly the size of a credit card - only 13 mm thick. The camera’s portability and convenience are enabled by its “worry free” rechargeable battery, simple user interface, and easy image download when you connect the camera to a PC or Mac with the supplied USB cable.

Package Contents

Be sure to check that the package contains all the items listed below:

Camera Hand Strap USB cable CD-ROM Docking Station Quick Operation Guide

If any items are missing, please contact the store where you purchased the camera. Keep the camera packaging in a safe place as it will be needed if you return the camera for repairs, etc.

2 Before Using Your Camera

To ensure that you use your camera correctly, read the Safety Notes in section 8 and the rest of this user’s manual carefully.

Holding the camera correctly

Due to the extremely compact size and light weight of the camera, it is critical that you hold the camera securely in order to avoid “camera shake”. The camera is particularly sensitive to “shake” in low light environments. Taking a picture in low light requires a longer exposure time for the image to be captured and any movement during this time might cause a blurred image.

When taking a photo in low light the flash may trigger. Before this happens, try to avoid gripping the camera with your fingers placed on the front face of the camera. Instead, hold the camera on its edges so that the light of the flash does not reflect off your finger(s) and cause lens flare.

Test photos

Before you capture your first images, we recommend you take some test photos to make sure that the camera is working properly. This will also help you become comfortable holding the camera in order to capture satisfactory images.

3 Using Your FlatFOTO 2.0 Digital Camera

Charging the battery

Long battery life is one of the key benefits of this camera compared to other digital cameras. On a full charge, the camera will take hundreds of images with the flash or over one thousand images without the flash. Your camera battery has already been charged prior to shipment. So, you should be able to take pictures without recharging it. However, just to be safe, you may want to follow the instructions below to make sure that your camera is fully charged before leaving home

The lithium-polymer battery used in the camera recharges automatically when the camera is plugged into a PC or Mac via the USB cable. In order to charge the battery the first time, first install the included software (see Installing the Software in section 4) and then plug the camera into your computer using the provided USB cable. When the battery is charging, the green LED will blink. When charging is complete, the green LED will be steady on.

Lithium-polymer battery tips:

o Safety note: Always observe the precautions described in Section 8. o It takes approximately 3 hours to fully charge a depleted battery. o The camera can be charged at ambient temperatures between 0°C and +40°C. o The battery does not need to be fully discharged or exhausted before being

recharged.

o Lithium-polymer batteries lose their charge even when not used. So, be sure to

charge the battery before taking pictures.

o To ensure that your battery lasts as long as possible, switch the camera off when

you are not using it.

o The number of available shots will be lower at low temperatures. You can

increase the amount of power produced by putting the camera in your pocket or another warm place to heat it just before taking pictures. If you are using a heating pad, take care not to place the camera directly against the pad.

Turning on the camera

Press the Power button once to turn on the camera. Press it again to turn the camera off.

• Note: The camera has an automatic time-out feature to conserve battery life. After

one minute (or 2 minutes) the camera will time-out (turn off). When timed out, the

camera will not take a photo when you push the shutter button. Press the Power button once to turn on the camera again.

• If power is low, the red LED blinks 5 times and then the camera turns off. Recharge

the battery immediately.

Turning on the LCD

The LCD screen comes on automatically in preview mode when the power is turned on. Press the LCD button once more to switch to preview mode with icons visible. Press the LCD button again to turn off the LCD.

Typical picture-taking mode menu displays

Picture-taking mode with timer on

Note the timer icon in the center of the display. When the timer is on, and set to 10 seconds (for example), the front red LED begins blinking when the shutter button is pressed. It begins counting down with 8 seconds of slow blinking (with audio beeps if the sound is on) and 2 seconds of fast blinking (with audio beeps). After the picture is taken there is a 1 second audio beep and the red LED goes steady.

Playback mode

Use the Playback mode to review images you have captured and to review images in order to delete them. Select Playback mode by sliding the mode switch to the right. The last picture taken is displayed first. If the camera is empty, the display will say “No pictures on camera.” Only the active media (SD card or internal memory) is displayed. In order to review pictures in internal memory, the SD card must be removed. After a picture has been deleted, the camera will return to Playback mode.

Using Secure Digital (SD) memory cards

Your camera is capable of storing images on Secure Digital (SD) memory cards. To use an SD card, insert the card into the SD slot in your camera. The LCD will show the SD card indicator when an SD card is in the slot.

To retreat the SD card, use your finger nail to push the card in so it pops out slightly. Grasp the card and pull it out.

Insert SD Card in the card slot

It may be necessary to format the SD card if the card has been used in devices other than your camera. To format, see Formatting Flash Memory or SD Card on Page

“0” displays at lower right of the LCD display when the SD card is full, or the SD card is write-protected, or there is an error writing to the card. You cannot take picture. To take picture, download the pictures to your computer, or delete some unimportant pictures from the SD card (refer to page 10), or use a writable SD card.

Changing resolution

Your 2MP Digital Camera offers three choices in resolution: Large, Medium and Small. Large resolution is 2048 x 1536 pixels, Medium resolution is 1600 x1200 pixels, and Small resolution is 800 x 600 pixels. The higher resolution setting allows for an image to be printed as large as 8 x 10 inches, but requires more memory to store. The lower resolution setting will allow for more images to be stored on the camera, but does not ensure print-quality detail. It is best suited for images to be e-mailed or posted on a Web site.

(16MB internal memory)

Large 2048x 1536 pixels 14

Medium 1600 x 1200 pixels 14

• Turn the camera on and move the mode button to the left to Picture-taking.

• Select Size and then select LARGE, MEDIUM or SMALL.
