Digital camera Software CD-ROM User’s manual Camera strap USB cable Lens strap Video cable
Overview
Your new digital camera delivers high quality, 2048 x 1536 resolution images using a 3.2 Megapixel CCD sensor. Using either the micro display viewfinder or the 2.5" TFT color image LCD monitor, you can compose images and then examine them in detail. An automatic-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.
In addition to still images, you can record short videos 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.
Optional Accessories
Camera pouch SD memory card AC power adapter 4 x AA (Alkaline or Ni-MH) batteries or 2 x CR-V3 batteries

If you will not be using the batteries for an extended period of time, remove them from the
camera to prevent leakage or corrosion.
Never use manganese batteries.Never use batteries of different type (together) or mix old and new batteries.Avoid using batteries in extremely cold environments as low temperatures will shorten
battery life and reduce camera performance.
Using an AC Power Adapter (optional accessory)

Exposure Compensation
Your camera adjusts the exposure of each scene automatically. However, if the subject is very dark, or very bright, you may override the camera automatic exposure determination to make the subject brighter or darker. This is called EV compensation. The EV compensation of the camera can be adjusted from -2.0EV to +2.0EV in 0.3EV steps.
1. Rotate the mode dial to [ ] manual photography mode.
2. Adjust the exposure using the
/ buttons.
3. Compose your image, press the shutter button down halfway to set and then press the shutter fully down to capture the image.
Recommendations for using EV compensation
Positive (+) Compensation
Imaging of printed text (black characters on white paper)Backlit portraitsVery bright scenes (such as snowfields) and highly reflective subjectsShots made up predominantly of sky.
Negative (-) Compensation
Spot lit lighted subjects, particularly against dark backgroundsImaging of printed text (white characters on black paper)Scenes with low reflectivity, such as shots of green or dark foliage.
When the camera is in [M] manual mode is set, the / buttons adjust the shutter speed,
and exposure compensation cannot be set.
