1 Introduction

This instruction manual is for users of the 1220S POWERC@M OPTICAL ZOOM.
This camera is an advanced model for the demanding user.

The various possibilities built into the camera allow it to be used not only for taking
photos but also as a video camera and a dictaphone. It is posible to carry out simple
editing when the camera is in display mode.

Read this manual carefully in order to get the best out of the camera.

1.1 General comments regarding photography

Test photograph

Before you start photographing a unique event, it is a good idea to first take a number
of test photographs. This will help to ensure that the camera works as required.

No compensation for unsuccessful photographs

No compensation may be claimed for unsuccessful photographs as a result of a faulty
camera, faulty software, etc.

Exchanging photographs and video clips

No guarantees are given that photographs and video clips produced with this camera
can be displayed on other devices or that photographs and video clips produced with
other devices can be displayed using this camera.

Sunlight

Do not aim the camera directly at the sun for a long period of time.

Shaking/knocks

Shaking/knocks Do not shake the camera or knock it against anything. This may
cause a fault, unsuccessful photographs, memory incompatibility or the loss of
photographs from the memory.

LCD display

There may sometimes be small black or clear dots visible on the LCD screen. This is
normal and does not affect the photographs. There is no reason to exchange the
camera if there are 10 dots or less.

Exposing the LCD screen to direct sunlight for a long period of time may cause faults.

Lens

Keep the glass of the lens clean. Use a cotton bud to clean the lens. If necessary
immerse this in special cleaning fluid for camera lenses. Do not use a different type
of cleaning product.

device. These may harm the material.

- Never immerse the camera in a fluid. This may be dangerous and will damage
the device. Do not use the device near water.

- Do not repair this device yourself.

2.1 Batteries

- The Duracell Ultra batteries supplied with the device are not rechargeable. Do
not try to recharge them. This can give rise to danger of an explosion.

5 Making the camera ready for use.

5.1 Inserting/removing the batteries

Follow the instructions given below to insert or remove the batteries

N.B.: switch the camera off before opening the battery cover.

Open the battery cover (1, Figure 4). Insert the batteries into the battery compartment
as indicated on the inside of the battery holder. Close the battery cover.

N.B.: it is normal for the camera casing to become warm when using

the camera.

N.B.: after inserting/replacing the batteries, you will have to reset the

date and the timeError! No bookmark name given..

N.B.: turn off the LCD screen to increase the lifetime of the batteries.

The state of the batteries will be displayed temporarily on the LCD screen. The
pictogram will be displayed on the LCD screen for about 10 seconds everytime a
change is made.
If the batteries are nearly flat the battery symbol will flash red (for about 10 seconds).
The text [battery empty] will be displayed on the screen and the camera will switch
off.

Note: the camera has an energy saving function. Set this correctly. See

chapter 15.

Lifetime of batteries

: Ni-MH battteries are recommended rather than alkaline batteries
for use with digital cameras. Use at least Ni-MH 1800mAh rechargeable batteries.
Trust has various Ni-MH battery chargers + batteries in its range. (see

www.trust.com/battery

-chargers)

N.B.: standard AA NiCd batteries are unsuitable for use with this

device.

N.B.: do not use old and new batteries at the same time, because the

old batteries may deplete the new ones.

N.B.: if the camera is not to be used for a long time remove the

batteries. This will save the battery capacity.

5.2 Using a memory card

This camera has a 14 MB internal memory which allows number of photographs to
be saved on it, see Table 19 and Table 20.

Trust recommends that a certified SD (Secure Digital) or MMC (Multi Media Card)
memory card with greater capacity be purchased. This allows more photos to be
saved in the memory.

Note: because there are a large number of SD cards on the market it is

possible that an SD card will not be compatible with this camera.
It is recommended that the SD card is tested in the camera
before purchasing it.

5.2.1 Inserting/removing a memory card

Follow the instructions given below to insert a memory card.

N.B.: switch the camera off before opening the battery cover.

Open the battery cover (1, Figure 4) and fit the memory card as shown in the memory
card holder, see Figure 6. Press the memory card into the slot until it clicks into
place.

1220S POWERC@M OPTICAL ZOOM

8

Remove the memory card by pushing it so that the lock is released. Remove the
memory card from the camera

Format the memory card before using it for the first time. See Section 6.2.

N.B.: the memory card can only be inserted into the camera in one way. Do

not force the card into the slot. This could damage both the memory
card and the camera.

N.B.: NEVER remove a memory card whilst the camera is still processing

data (Indicator lamp flashes green (4, Figure 3). This will result in loss
of data or faults.

If there is a MMC/SD card in your camera new photos will be saved on this card. If
there is no card in the camera new photos will be saved in the internal memory.
