Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Camera to pursue your DSC.
Whether you are creating memories of your friends and
family or exploring the great outdoors to get the utmost
satisfaction from your DSC, please take a moment to read
through this manual. Its contents will send you on an
educational journey into your camera's multiple
capabilities.
1. CameraPrecaution
Before using the camera, please ensure that you read
and understand the safety precautions described below.
Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly.
•Never operate the camera inside of an aircraft or
anywhere else where operation of such devices is
restricted. Improper use creates the risk of serious
accident.
•Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or other
intense light sources which could damage your
eyesight.
•Do not try to open the case of the camera or attempt
to modify this camera in any way. High-voltage
internal components create the risk of electric shock
when exposed. Maintenance and repairs should be
carried out only by authorized service providers.
•Do not fire the flash too close to the eyes of animals
or people, especially for young children. Eye
damage may result. In particular, remain at least
one meter away from infants when using flash.

•Keep the camera away from water and other liquids.
Do not use the camera with wet hands. Never use
the camera in the rain or snow. Moisture creates the
danger of fire and electric shock.
•Keep the camera and its accessories out of the
reach of children and animals to prevent accidents
or damage to the camera.
•If you notice smoke or a strange odor coming from
the camera, turn the power off immediately. Take
the camera to the nearest authorized service center
for repair. Never attempt to repair the camera on
your own.
•Use only the recommended power accessories. Use
of power sources not expressly recommended for
this equipment may lead to overheating, distortion of
the equipment, fire, electrical shock or other
hazards.
•Never apply too much force when cleaning the
surface of the lens. Doing so can scratch the lens
surface and cause malfunction?
•The camera may become slightly warm during use.
This does not indicate malfunction.
•If the exterior of the camera needs cleaning, wipe it
with a soft, dry cloth.

Charging the Battery
Long battery life is one of the key benefits of this product
compared to others. Your camera battery has already
been charged prior to shipment, you should be able to
take pictures without recharging it. However, just to be
safe, you may want to follow the instructions below to
make sure that your camera is fully charged before
leaving home.
The lithium-polymer battery used in the camera recharges
automatically when the camera is plugged into a PC via
the USB cable. In order to charge the battery the first time,
first install into your computer using the provided USB
cable. When the battery is charging, the green LED will
blink. When charging is complete, the red LED will be
steady on.

sure to charge the battery before taking pictures.
* To ensure that your battery lasts as long as possible, switch the
camera off when you are not using it.

can increase the amount of power produced by putting the camera in
your pocket or another warm place to heat it just before taking pictures.

Taking Picture
Holding the camera correctly
Due to the extremely compact size and light weight of the
camera, it is critical that you hold the camera securely in
order to avoid “camera shake”. The camera is particularly
sensitive to shake in low light environments. Taking a
picture in low light requires a longer exposure time for the
image to be captured and any movement during this time
might cause a blurred image.
When taking a photo in low light the flash may trigger.
Before this happens, try to avoid gripping the camera with
your fingers placed on the front face of the camera.
Instead, hold the camera on its edges so that the light of
the flash does not reflect off your fingers and cause lens
flare.
