INTRODUCTION
Overview
Your new digital camera delivers high quality, 2560 x 1920 resolution images using a
5.25 Megapixels CCD imager. Using either the optical viewfinder or the 1.5” 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.
SD Memory Card is a storage medium for saving images that you have photographed. Even
if the camera’s power is turned OFF, the images saved on the SD Memory Card are not
erased. SD Memory Card can be repeatedly read and written.
Images you have taken can be downloaded to your computer using the USB cable
(USB driver 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 have already owned. You may 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.
Note:
The memory card testing results for 512MB are based on Toshiba, Panasonic and Sandisk
SD Memory Cards.
