CAMERA SETUP.
Powering the Camera ON
1) Batteries
Make sure the batteries, 3x AAA (1.5V) alkaline batteries, have been inserted properly into
your digital camera.
- Slide and open the battery compartment.
- Make sure the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity, as indicated on the inside of
the battery compartment door.
- Close the battery compartment door.
NOTE:
When the “No Power” is displayed on the LCD, this indicates that your camera has
insufficient battery power and will automatically power off. If you have captured sample
images on the camera‟s memory, you will need to download the sample photos and videos
to your PC. If there is no SD card inserted before it powers off, the photos and videos will not
be saved.
Remove the batteries from the camera when not in use for an extended period.
Do not mix alkaline and non-alkaline batteries.
Some features, such as Flash, will not work if the battery power level is low.
When the battery power is low the battery icon turns red and the camera will
automatically turn off a few seconds later.

To properly insert the SD Card:
Push the SD card into the slot in the direction shown on the camera (see SD icon by the SD
card slot). Push the SD card until you hear a slight clicking sound. This indicates the SD
card has been inserted correctly.
Note:
After the camera is powered on, an SD icon will appear on the LCD display. If you do not
see the SD icon on the display, please check if the card was inserted properly.
Make sure the SD card is not locked (check the lock switch on the side of the SD card). If
