Chapter 2
Getting Started
1. Hold down the viewfinder on the top of the camera and slide the camera cover off.
2. Insert a single AAA battery inside the battery compartment. Make sure that you insert the battery with the correct orientation as indicated by the markings inside the battery compartment.
3. Hold down the viewfinder and slide the camera cover back to insert the camera into its cover.
IMPORTANT! When using only the camera’s internal memory, make sure to always have
enough battery power since the camera utilizes SDRAM, which is volatile memory. If there is not enough power or the battery is removed for longer than 3 minutes , the pictures will be lost from the camera. Make sure to always download your pictures as soon as possible or replace the battery with a new one after you have downloaded the pictures if the batteries are low.
