INTRODUCTION

Overview

Your new digital camera delivers high quality, 2048 x 1536 resolution images
using a 3.1 Megapixels CCD sensor. 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.

16MB internal (built-in) memory lets you capture and store images without the
need for an additional memory card. However, you may wish to expand the
memory capacity by using an external memory card.

In addition to still images, you can record short videos by using the movie
function.

Images you have taken can be downloaded to your computer using the USB
cable (USB driver is required only 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 already own. You may share
your images with your friends via e-mail, in a report, or on a website.

RECORD MODE

Capturing Images

Your camera is equipped with both an optical viewfinder and a 1.5" LCD monitor
to compose images. Capturing images using the optical viewfinder will
conserve battery power. If your batteries are low, it is recommended that you
only compose images using the viewfinder. Using the LCD monitor, you can

Description

The flash fires automatically according to the
ambient lighting conditions.
Select this mode for general photography.
The flash emits a precursor-flash before the main
flash fires. This causes the pupil in the human
eye to constrict, reducing the red-eye
phenomenon.
Select this mode when taking images of people
and animals in low-light conditions.
The flash is fired at a slower shutter speed.
This flash mode is effective when capturing
images so that not only the subject but also the
background are both clearly reproduced in
artificial light (backlighting, fluorescent lighting,
etc.) or with people against the night as a
background scene.
The flash will always fire regardless of the
surrounding brightness.
Select this mode for recording images with high
contrast (backlighting ) and deep shadows.
The flash will not fire.
Select this mode when capturing images in a
place where flash photography is prohibited, or
when the distance to the subject is beyond the
effective range of the flash.

The camera has five flash modes: Automatic, Red-Eye Reduction, Slow Synchro,
Fill Flash (on), and Flash off.

The table below will help you to choose the appropriate flash mode:

Setting Image Resolution and Quality

Resolution and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file
size, and compression ratio for your images. These settings affect the number
of images that can be stored in memory, or on an SD memory card. As you get
to know the camera, it is recommended that you try each quality and resolution
setting to get an appreciation for the effects that these settings will have on your
images.

Higher resolution and higher quality images offer the best photographic results
but produce large files sizes. Therefore, fewer images will take up more
memory space.

High resolution and quality settings are recommended for printed output and
situations requiring the finest detail. Lower resolution/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 resolution and quality settings:

1. Slide the switch and power on the
camera.

2. Set the mode dial to the Record mode or
the Manual Record mode.

3. Press the button.

4. Select IMAGE SIZE or QUALITY by using
the / buttons and then press the
button.

5. Change the settings with the or
buttons and then press the button.

6. Press the button again to exit from the
menu mode.

7. Compose your image.

8. Press the shutter button to capture an
