Test shooting
Be sure to take some test shots before taking important pictures (such as busi-
ness or weddings) to make sure that the camera is working properly.
Results are not guaranteed
In the unlikely event that a problem arises in shooting or reproducing pictures
due to the camera or memory card used, please understand that no compen-
sation can be made.
Be aware of copyright
Any pictures that you take of existing images may be used for personal use
only. Copyright law prohibits the use of pictures without the permission of the
rightful owner. Also, please note that some occasions of the performing arts,
demonstrations and exhibitions may restrict photography even for the purpose
of personal enjoyment.
Caution for extended camera use:
The camera body may become hot when used for a long period of time. This is
normal, and does not mean that the camera is faulty. However, if the camera is
in contact with the skin for a long time, this may cause a cryogenic burn. Please
be careful with it.

INTRODUCTION
Overview
This camera is a friendly-interface digital still camera, which delivers outstanding
1600x1200 image resolution and high quality with a 2.1 Mega pixel, 1/3.2" CCD.
By using the built-in1.6" TFT LCD monitor, you can compose pictures and examine
them in detail. An auto-flash sensor, which automatically detects the shooting con-
ditions and determines whether the flash should be used, helps ensure that your
pictures turn out successfully. The 8MB built-in memory lets you record or store
images without purchasing an additional memory card. Or you can expand the
memory capacity (up to 128MB capacity) by using an external memory card. Be-
sides the still images, you can record moving images with the movie function.
Pictures you have taken can be easily downloaded to your computer using the
USB cable and USB driver (for Win98 and Mac OS 8.6)supplied. You can enhance
and retouch your pictures on your computer using the bundled editing software
before sharing them with your friends via e-mail. The DPOF-supported function
allows you to print out your images on compatible printers by simply inserting the
memory card.All the thoughtful functions are specially designed for you. Now let’s
help you to experience the benefits this camera offers.
