1. Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Stylus 1800. Using the latest innovations in technology the Stylus 1800 offers fun,
affordable and easy to use digital imaging.
Although you probably want to get started right away, please take a few minutes to read this guide and familiarise
yourself with your new Stylus 1800. Your new Stylus 1800 will take 26 Hi-Res (Normal Resolution) or 107 Low-Res
(Economy Resolution) images, which you upload to your PC (Personal Computer) running Windows® 98 and Windows®
Me or Macintosh™ running OS 8.6 - 9 via the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port.
You can also use your Stylus 1800 to capture not only snaps of your family and friends, but also video and audio clips of
them in action.
Your Stylus 1800 can also be used as a Web Cam. If you have an internet connection and microphone (not supplied)
you can chat face-to-face with friends and colleagues, conferencing in real time.
Stylus 1800 comes with Time Lapse Photography. You can set your Stylus 1800 to operate on its own throughout the
day at predetermined intervals and take a series of images. With this technique, you can make for example high speed
video clips of:-
• changing cloud and weather formations
• watch the hands of a clock speed round in double quick time
• watch the tide go in and then out
• watch a flower open as the sun rises
The effects are amazing.
Please note that your images and audio clips are stored on your Stylus 1800's internal memory. When you have taken
your images and audio clips, the Stylus 1800 will wait for 30 seconds and then automatically switch to Stand-by mode,
which draws a constant trickle of power from the battery. To preserve your images, there is a backup battery which
should only be used in emergency cases to change your battery when you are away from your computer and cannot
upload your images.
