    GETTING STARTED
    You can use either 2 AA size batteries (Alkaline, Ni-MH) or an AC power adapter
    (optional accessory) to power
      the camera. Battery power is convenient for recording
    images or video clips while AC adapter power is recommended for transferring
    images to your computer.
    Installing the batteries
    1. Make sure the camera is off.
    2. Slide the battery/SD card cover in the direc- tion of the OPEN arrow.
    3. Insert the batteries according to the correct polarity marks (+ or -).
    4. Close the battery/SD card cover firmly.
    • If you won’t be using the batteries for an extended period of time, remove them from the ca-
    mera to prevent leaks or corrosion.
    • Never use manganese batteries.
    • Never use different types of batteries (together) or mix old and new batteries.
    • Avoid using batteries in extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten the battery life and reduce camera performance.
    Using the AC power adapter
    (optional accessory)
    1. Make sure the camera is off.
    2. Open the DC IN jack cover and connect one end of the AC power adapter to the DC IN
    jack on the camera.
    3. Connect the other end to an electrical outlet.
    • Make sure to use only the specified AC power adapter for the camera. Otherwise, it may cause
    damages to the camera, which is not covered under the warranty.
    • To prevent unexpected auto power off resulting from no battery power left during the process of transferring your images to the computer, use the AC power adapter as\
     a power supply.

    Loading a SD memory card
    (optional accessory)
    The camera comes with 8MB of internal
    memory, allowing you to store images and video
    clips in the camera. However, you can expand
    the memory capacity by using an optional SD
    memory card so that you can store additional
    images and video clips.
    1. Make sure the camera is off.
    2. Slide the battery/SD card cover in the direction of the OPEN arrow.
    3. Insert the SD memory card. 
    The front side of the memory card (printed arrow) should face towards the front side of
    the camera
    .
      
    If the card cannot be inserted, check the orientation.
    4. Close the battery/SD card cover.  To  re move the SD memory card, make sure the camera is off. Open the
    battery/SD card cover. 
    Press lightly on the edge of the memory card and it will
    eject.
    • To prevent valuable data from being accidentally
    erased from an SD card you can slide the write
    protect tab (on the side of the SD memory card) to
    “LOCK”.
    • To save, edit, or erase data on an SD memory card, you must unlock the card.
    Attaching the strap
    To prevent accidental dropping of the camera, always
    use the strap.
    1. First thread the small loop of the wrist strap through the strap eyelet on the camera and
    then pull the large loop through the small loop
    until the strap is firmly secured.

    Setting the 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 set-
    ting 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 situ-
    ations 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, press the 
    button on top of the camera repeatedly to select the settings that you prefer.  As
    you press this button watch the Status LCD.
    Resolution & Quality:
    The camera provides 2 resolution modes and 3 quality modes, which can be
    changed cyclically by pressing the 
     button. The cyclical order is   ➔  ➔   ➔   ➔   ➔   ➔ repeat.

    Taking pictures
    RECORD MODE
    Your camera is equipped with both an optical viewfinder and a 1.6 LCD monitor to
    compose images. Taking images using the optical viewfinder will conserve bat-
    tery power. If your batteries are low, it is recommended that you only compose
    images by using the viewfinder. Using the LCD monitor you can compose images
    more accurately, but at the cost of battery consumption. Always use the image
    LCD for macro shots, however, to avoid parallax effects.  The LCD image display
    must be used when Digital Zoom is used.
     Using the viewfinder
    1. Open the lens cover.
    2. Turn the mode dial to the  mode.
    3. Turn the camera on by pressing the 
     button.
    4. Compose your shot in the viewfinder.
    5. Press the shutter button down halfway (the
    camera adjusts the exposure and the focus),
    then press it the rest of the way down.
     When the camera adjusts the exposure and
    focus, the LED indicator lights red. Take a
    picture until the LED indicator lights green.
     The LED indicator blinks orange while the
    camera is processing a captured image.

     Using the LCD monitor
    1. Open the lens cover.
    2. Turn the mode dial to the  mode.
    3. Turn the camera on by pressing the 
      button.
    4. Turn the LCD monitor on by pressing the 
    button.
    5. Compose the picture.
    6. Press the shutter button.  The LED indicator blinks orange while the
    camera is processing a captured image.
    • The image on the LCD monitor darkens when in strong sunlight or bright light. This is not a
    malfunction.
    • Using the LCD monitor for an extended period of time will decrease the number of images you can take. To increase battery longevity, turn the LCD monitor off and use the viewfinder instead.
    • Always use the image LCD for macro shots.
    • The LCD monitor must be on when Digital Zoom is to be used.
    Normal mode is used to take images where the
    distance to the subject is 70 cm or more. Select
    this mode for general shooting, including por-
    traits and scenery.
    1. Open the lens cover, turn the mode dial to the 
     mode, and power on the camera.
    2. Move the focus switch located on the front
        side of the camera to the 
     position.
    3. Compose the picture.
    4. Press the shutter button.
    Using the normal mode

    Using the digital zoom
    Using digital zoom, images appear closer. Whereas digital zoom is a compelling feature,
    the more an image is enlarged (zoomed), the more pixilated (grainier) the image will
    appear. The digital zoom function is only available when you set the LCD monitor\
    and the digital zoom to ON. To enable the digital zoom, refer to DIGITAL ZOOM in
    Record menu.
    1. Open the lens cover, turn the mode dial to the 
     mode, and power on the camera.
    2. Turn the LCD monitor on by pressing the 
    button.
    3. Press the  OK button to activate 2X digital
    zoom function.
      The 2X icon appears on the LCD monitor.
      To  cancel the digital zoom function, press
    the  OK button.
    4. Press the shutter button 
    to capture a zoomed
    image
    .
    • You can only set the digital zoom at the resolution of 1600x1200 pixels; digital zoom is not available at the resolution of 800x600 pixels. When you play back a digitally zoomed ima\
    ge,
    the image size is 800x600 pixels.
    • The more the image is enlarged, the more pixilated (grainier) the image.
    • Digital zoom cannot be used in the movie mode.
