Formatting is an irreversible action and data cannot be recovered at a later time.
An SD card having any problem cannot be properly formatted.
Setting Image Resolution and Quality
Resolution and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file size, and compression ratio for your images. These settings affect the number of images that can be stored on a memory card. As you get to know the camera, it is recommended that you try each quality and resolution setting to get an appreciation for the effects that these settings will have on your images.
Higher resolution and higher quality images offer the best photographic results but produce large file sizes. Therefore, few images will take up a lot of memory space.
High resolution and quality settings are recommended for printed output and situations requiring the finest detail. Lower resolution/quality images take up less memory space and may be quite suitable for sharing images via e-mail, in a report, or on a web page.
To change image resolution or image quality, perform these steps below:
1. Slide the mode switch to [ ] or [ ].
2. Press the MENU button.
[Picture] of the photography menu is displayed.

Step 1: Installing the USB Driver
Windows 98 computers
The USB driver on the CD-ROM is exclusively for Windows 98 computers.
Installing the USB driver on computers running Windows 2000/ME/XP is not necessary.
1. Insert the CD-ROM that came with the camera into your CD-ROM drive. The welcome screen appears.
2. Click “Install USB Driver”. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation. After the USB driver has been installed, restart your computer.
Step 2: Connecting the Camera to Your Computer
1. Connect one end of the USB cable to the conversion adapter terminal of the camera.
If you use the conversion adapter to connect the USB cable, insert the conversion adapter into the conversion adapter terminal of the camera first, and then connect one end of the USB cable to the USB terminal of the conversion adapter.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to an available USB port on your computer.
3. Turn on your camera.
4. From the Windows desktop, double click on “My Computer”.
5. Look for a new “Removable disk” icon. This “Removable disk” is actually the memory card in your camera. Typically, the camera will be assigned drive letter “e” or higher.
6. Double click on the removable disk and locate the DCIM folder.
7. Double click on the DCIM folder to open it to find more folders.
Your recorded images and video clips will be inside these folders.
Copy & Paste or Drag-N-Drop image and video files to a folder on your computer.
Mac users: Double-click the “untitled” or “NO_NAME” disk drive icon on our desktop. iPhoto may automatically launch. The volume name varies between memory cards.
The data saved to the SD card may be damaged if the power to the camera is cut off during image transfer. We recommend that you use the AC power adapter when connecting the camera to the PC.
