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.
