Preparing Your Camera for Use
Battery Installation
Your camera requires 3 AAA batteries. To insert the batteries into the camera:
1. Slide and open the battery compartment at the bottom of the camera.
2. Please make sure that the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity facing up.
3. Close the battery door.
6
When the “No Power” is displayed on the LCD, this indicates that your camera has an insufficient battery
power level and will be automatically powered off. You 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 be lost.
Note:
1. If you don‟t intend to use your camera for an extended period of time, please remove the
batteries to avoid battery leakage and corrosion.
2. Please don‟t remove the batteries or power off your camera before downloading the test
photos or videos when you have not inserted an SD card. The test images will be lost forever if
they are not downloaded before the camera is shut down or powered off.
3. Do not mix old and new batteries.
4. We recommend you use alkaline batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or
rechargeable (nickel-cadmium metal hydride) batteries.
5. In order to conserve battery power if the camera is on but not in use for 60 seconds it will
automatically shut off. In this case too only the sample images will be lost.
7
Installing SD Memory Card
Your camera has a memory card slot that enables you to insert an “SD” compatible memory card. Adding
a memory card is needed for normal use and will allow you to increase the capacity of your camera
before you have to transfer photos and videos to your PC. Install the SD memory card as below:
1. Locate the Memory Card slot.
2. Insert the Memory card into the slot in the correct direction. (see the illustration below)
3. Push the card in until you feel it “click” into position. The top of the card should be flushed with
the surface of the camera. An icon will appear on the LCD screen after you turn on your
camera.
4. Once the external memory card is inserted into the camera all the images taken with the
camera will be stored on the card.
8
Note:
1. An external memory card is required for normal use. Your camera supports a compatible SD
memory card (up to 32GB).
2. An SD Memory Card is not included and needs to be purchased separately.
3. “Card inserted, change to card” will appear on the LCD screen when you insert the card
indicating that photos and videos will now be stored on the SD memory card. Reversely, “Card
removed, change to internal memory” will appear on the LCD screen when you remove the
card.
4. If there are photos and videos in the internal memory when you insert the card into your
camera, “copy SDRAM file to your card, please wait…” will appear on the screen. The media
will now be copied to your card.
5. When you take out the SD memory card, “Card removed, change to Internal RAM” will appear
on the LCD screen. With no card in the camera you will now only be able to take one test
photo or 10 seconds of video.

Powering Your Camera On/Off
1. Press and hold the Power button to turn on your camera.
The LCD screen will light up indicating that your camera is on and ready for use.

Photo Capture Mode
TAKING PHOTOS
After you power on your camera, the default mode is Camera/Photo Capture mode.
A camera icon appears in the top left corner of the LCD screen.
6. Hold the camera steady and compose your object as appears in the LCD screen.
7. Press the Shutter button and wait a moment for the photo to be taken.
Note: When the internal memory is full, the LCD screen will display “Memory Full! Insert a SD Memory
Card to Transfer and Take More Photos!” If you attempt to take photos or videos when the camera‟s
internal memory is full, the camera will beep continuously. Please download the test images to your
computer using the Vivitar Experience Image Manager software as described below in the section
“Transfer photos and videos to your computer” as soon as possible or insert an SD memory card in
order to take more images!

Flash
Your camera has a built in flash function which enables you to take photos when the light condition is not
good.
1. Press the Up button.
2. The „Auto Flash‟ icon will appear at the top of the LCD indicating that the Auto Flash is
turned on and ready to use.
3. Press the Up button again to change from the Auto Flash to the Red Eye function.
4. The „Red Eye Reduction‟ icon will appear on the LCD indicating that the Red Eye
Reduction function has been activated.
5. Press the Up button once more until you see the „Forced Flash‟ icon appear on the LCD
screen. This indicates that the flash is forced on.
6. To turn off the flash function, press the Up button again until the „No Flash‟ icon is
