• DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)

”DPOF” stands for “Digital Print Order Format”, which is a format for recording on a memory card or other medium which captured images and how many copies should be printed. Then you can print on a DPOFcompatible printer or at a professional print service from the memory card in accordance with the file name and number of copies settings recorded on the card.

With this camera, you should always select images by viewing them on the LCD screen. Do not specify images by file name without viewing the file contents.

NOTE:

Print settings are configured for images only. Make sure there are no video clips or other file besides images in the memory before printing, otherwise, an error will occur if trying to print using the “ALL IMAGES” option.

7 Using the SD (Secure Digital) Card

• Using the SD card

Your camera comes with built-in flash memory for storing pictures and video clips. You can expand the memory using a commercially available

SD card (up to 1 GB). The camera senses whether a memory card is inserted, and automatically saves pictures and video clips accordingly.

Note that you cannot save pictures or video clips to the built-in flash memory while a memory card is installed in the camera.

See pages 76 to 78 for storage capacities.

Memory Card Precautions

1. Use only an SD memory card with this camera.

2. Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause data corruption or even loss. Always make sure that you always back up important data on other media device (Flash disc, computer hard disk drive, etc.).

3. If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can restore normal operation by reformatting it. However, we recommend that you always take along more than one memory card whenever using the camera far away from the home or office.

4. We recommend that you format a memory card before using it for the first time after purchasing it, or whenever the card you are using seems to be the cause of abnormal pictures. Remember to format a memory card if it was used in another digital camera or other devices.



57


IMPORTANT!

• Make sure you turn off the camera before inserting or removing a memory card.

• Be sure to orient the card correctly when inserting it. Never try to force a memory card into the slot when you feel resistance.

• SD memory cards have a write protection switch that you can use to protect files from accidental deletion. However, you must remove the write protection whenever you want to record new files onto it, format it, or delete its files.

• Files contained in the SD card recorded by other cameras may conflict with the PDC 5070 camera, and valuable data in your existing SD card may be distorted or lost when the card is inserted in the PDC 5070 camera. We strongly recommend the user to use a NEW or formatted SD card for the

PDC 5070 camera. The manufacturer is not liable for losing or corrupting any valuable data or files in your SD card due to your improper operation.

• As tests prove, thePDC 5070 works best with popular brands of memory cards such as SanDisk, Panasonic, Lexar and TOSHIBA. Consider using these cards for best performance.

Inserting a SD Card

Turn off the camera and open the SD slot cover as illustrated. Insert the

SD ensuring the card is inserted the correct position as illustrated. On the inner side of the SD slot cover, there is a diagram showing the proper insertion orientation.

Notched corner of

SD card

The icon will appear on the LCD screen when a SD card is inserted into the camera.


57

Removing the SD Card

To remove the SD, turn off your camera and open the SD slot cover.

Gently push the SD inwards and then release it for the SD to eject. Take the SD card out and close the card slot cover.

IMPORTANT!

• Never insert any other object into the camera’s SD card slot. Doing so creates the risk of damage to the camera and card.

• Should water or any foreign objects ever get into the card slot, immediately turn off the camera, remove the batteries and contact your dealer or nearest service provider.

• Never remove a card from the camera while the camera is powered on.

Doing so can cause the picture or video recording operation to fail, and even damage the memory card.

Formatting the SD Card

Formatting the SD card erases all files stored in it, including the protected ones. Removing the SD card during formatting may damage the card.

• Note that data deleted by a format operation cannot be recovered. Make sure you do not have any useful data currently stored on a memory card before you format it.

• Formatting a memory card destroys all the pictures, even those are protected.
