Getting Started
2.1 Battery Installation
1. Hold down the viewfinder on the top of the camera and slide the camera cover off.
2. Insert a single AAA battery inside the battery compartment. Make sure that you insert the battery with
the correct orientation as indicated by the markings inside the battery compartment.
3. Hold down the viewfinder and slide the camera cover back to insert the camera into its cover.
IMPORTANT!When using only the camera’s internal memory, make sure to always have
enough battery power since the camera utilizes SDRAM, which is volatile memory. If there is
not enough power or the battery is removed for longer than 3 minutes, the pictures will be lost
from the camera. Make sure to always download your pictures as soon as possible or replace
the battery with a new one after you have downloaded the pictures if the batteries are low.

2.2 Turning the Power On/Off
1. Slide the camera cover open.
2. The viewfinder will pop up from the top of the camera.
3. To turn the camera on: Press and hold the Mode button for three seconds. The LCD status
display will turn on.
4. To turn the camera off: Press and hold the Mode button for three seconds. The LCD status
display will turn off.
2.3 Taking a Picture
Before you take a picture or record a video, make sure that the camera cover is extended and
there are no obstructions covering the front of the camera lens.
To take pictures with your camera, make sure the camera is powered on and the camera is in the correct
mode (i.e. picture taking mode if you want to take pictures, video mode if you want to record a video).
Frame your subject through the viewfinder and press the Shutter button to take a picture.
When you snap a picture, your camera takes about one second to process and will beep once when the
process is completed. The picture counter on the LCD status will increase by 1. (If taking pictures in Burst
mode, the picture counter on the LCD status will increase by 3.)
When saving a picture or a video clip with an SD memory card installed, the LCD will indicate the camera
is saving the picture or video by displaying a bar rotating clockwise in a circular pattern.
