INTRODUCTION
Overview
Your new stylish digital camera delivers high quality, 2560 x 1920 resolution images using a 5.0 Megapixels
CCD sensor. Using either the optical viewfinder or the 1.5" LTPS TFT color image LCD monitor, you can
compose images and then examine them in detail. An auto-flash sensor automatically detects the shooting
(lighting) conditions and determines whether the flash should be used. This feature helps ensure that your
images turn out right every time.
A14MB internal (built-in) memory lets you capture and store images without the need for an additional memory
card. However, you may wish to expand the memory capacity by using an external memory card.
In addition to still images, you can record short videos by using the movie function.
Images you have taken can be downloaded to your computer using the USB cable (a USB driver is required for
Win 98 and Mac OS 8.6). You can enhance and retouch your images on your computer by using the provided
editing software or image editing software you may already own. You can share your images with your friends
via e-mail in a report or on a website.
DPOF functionality allows you to print your images on a DPOF compatible printer by simply inserting the memory
card.

Preparing Your Camera
Ins alling he Ba eries
Use 2AA-size batteries (either Ni-MH or CR-V3) to power the camera. Battery
power is convenient for capturing images or recording video clips.
1. Make sure your camera is off.
2. Slide open the battery/SD card cover lock.
3. Insert the batteries according to the correct polarity marks (+ or -).
4. Close the battery/SD card cover lock firmly.
New batteries or batteries that have not been used for an extended period of time (or batteries that have
passedtheir expiry date) may affect the number of pictures that can be taken.To maximize their performance
and lifetime, we recommend that you fully charge the batteries and discharge them for at least one complete
cycle before use.
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 will shorten the battery life and
reduce the camera performance.
LowtemperaturewillinfluenceAlkalinebattery performance.ANi-MH rechargeable battery is recommended.
If you will not be using the batteries for an extended period of time, remove them from the camera to prevent
leakage or corrosion.

Using an AC Power Adap er
You can also power your camera by using an AC power adapter. The AC power adapter is recommended for
long periods of continuous use or for transferring images to your computer.
1. Make sure your camera is off.
2. Open the port cover and connect one end of the AC power adapter to the
jack labeled “DC IN”.
3. Connect the other end to an electrical outlet.
Make sure you only use the AC power adapter specified for the camera. Damage caused by the use of an
incorrect adapter is not covered under the warranty.
To prevent unexpected auto power off resulting from no battery power during the process of transferring
your images to the computer, use the AC power adapter as a power supply.
The AC power adapter can only be used to power the camera. Batteries cannot be charged inside the
camera.

Ins alling an SD Memory Card
Your camera comes with 14MB of internal memory, allowing you to store
images and video clips in the camera. However, you can also expand the
memory capacity by using the SD memory card. An optional SD memory
card provides removable, reusable storage for images and video clips.
1. Make sure your camera is off.
2. Slide open the SD card/battery cover lock.
3. Insert the SD memory card.
If the card cannot be inserted, check its orientation.
4. Close the SD card/battery cover lock firmly.

2. Slide open the SD card/battery cover lock.
3. Press lightly on the edge of the memory card and it will eject.
Memory cards may become hot during use; observe due caution when removing memory cards.
To prevent valuable data from being accidentally erased from an SD memory 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.
To fully capture all the images you want, reformat your SD memory card first.
Be sure to format your SD memory card on this camera before using it.
Not all SD memory cards are compatible with this camera. We highly recommend using Panasonic,
Toshiba and SanDisk memory cards to ensure good camera performance.
