INTRODUCTION
Overview
Your new digital camera delivers high quality, 2032 x 1520 resolution images using a 3.0 Mega pixel imager. Using 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.
16MB 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 (up to 512MB capacity) by using an external memory card.
In addition to still images, you can record short videos using the movie function.
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 already own. You may share your images with your friends via e-mail, in a report, or on a website.
The illustrations in this manual are for the purpose of explanation and may differ from the actual setting of your camera.

GETTING STARTED
You can use either 2 AA size batteries (Alkaline or Ni-MH) or an AC power adapter (optional accessory) to power the camera. Battery power is convenient for capturing images or recording video clips while an AC power adapter is useful when transferring images to your computer.
Installing Batteries
1. Make sure the camera is turned off.
2. Slide the battery cover in the direction of the [OPEN] arrow.
3. Insert the batteries, noting correct polarity
(+ and -).
4. Close the battery cover firmly.
VIDEO OUT
Different battery types and surrounding temperatures may affect the battery performance.
Avoid using batteries in extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten the battery life and reduce camera performance. This low temperature will also influence Alkaline battery performance, therefore
Ni-MH rechargeable battery is highly recommended.
If you are using the new rechargeable batteries or rechargeable batteries that have not been used for an extended period of time (batteries that pass the expiry date are exceptions) might affect the number of pictures that can be taken. Therefore, 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.
If you will not be using the batteries for an extended period of time, remove them from the camera to prevent leakage or corrosion.
Never use batteries of different types (together) or mix old and new batteries.
Never use manganese batteries.
Using an AC Power Adapter (optional accessory)
1. Make sure the camera is turned off.
2. Open the terminal cover and connect one end of the AC power adapter to the jack labeled "DC IN 3V".
3. Connect the other end to an electrical outlet.
Make sure to use only the AC power adapter specified for the camera.
Damage caused by the use of an incorrect adapter is not covered under the warranty.
E-17
Inserting an SD Memory Card (optional accessory)
The camera comes with 16MB of internal memory, allowing you to store images and video clips in the camera. However, you can expand the memory capacity by using an optional SD (Secure Digital) memory card so that you can store additional images and video clips.
1. Make sure the camera is turned off.
2. Slide the memory card cover in the direction of the [OPEN] arrow.
3. Insert an SD memory card:
The front side of the memory card
(printed arrow) should face towards the rear side of the camera.
If the card cannot be inserted, check the orientation.
4. Close the memory card cover.
Be sure to format the memory card with this camera before its initial usage. Refer to section in this manual titled “Formatting Media” for further details.
18-E
To remove a memory card:
Make sure the camera is turned off. Open the memory card cover. Press lightly on the edge of the memory card and it will eject.
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.
Attaching the Hand Strap
To prevent accidental dropping of the camera, always use the strap.
Attach the hand strap as follows:
1. Thread the small loop of the hand strap through the hand strap eyelet on the camera.
2. Pull the large loop through the small loop until the strap is firmly secured.

20-E
When the Date & Time screen appears, follow these steps to set the correct date and time.
1. Select the setting item with the / buttons and set the date and time with the / buttons.
2. Check the setting contents and press the
OK button.
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 in memory, or 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 files 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. Set the mode dial to .
2. Press the MENU button.
3. Select [Image size]/[Quality] using the / buttons and press the OK button.
4. Use the / buttons to select the setting that you desire, and press the OK button.

Taking Images
Your camera is equipped with both an optical viewfinder and a 1.5" LCD display to compose images. Taking images using the optical viewfinder will conserve battery power. If your batteries are low, it is recommended that you only compose images by using the viewfinder.

The flash fires automatically according to the ambient lighting conditions. Select this mode
Red-eye reduction
Fill flash for general flash photography.
The flash emits a precursor-flash before the main flash fires. This causes the pupil in the human eye to constrict, reducing the red-eye phenomenon. Select this mode when taking images of people and animals in low-light conditions.
The flash will always fire regardless of the
Flash off surrounding brightness. Select this mode for recording images with high contrast
(backlighting) and deep shadows. Also known as forced flash.

Your camera adjusts the exposure of each scene automatically. However, if the subject is very dark, or very bright, you may override the camera’s automatic exposure determination to make the subject brighter or darker. This is called EV compensation.
Examples of Exposure Compensation:
Positive (+) Compensation
- Imaging printed text (black characters on white paper)
- Portraiture with back lighting
- Very bright scenes (such as snow) and highly reflective subjects
- Shots made up predominantly of sky

Negative (-) Compensation
- Spot lighted subjects, particularly against dark backgrounds
- Imaging of printed text (white characters on black paper)
- Scenes with low reflectivity, such as shots of green or dark foliage
Your camera adjusts the white balance of each scene automatically. However, the images that your camera captures will appear different under different lighting conditions (sun, shade, fluorescent, tungsten lights). Unlike your eyes, which can easily adjust to different lighting conditions (lighting temperatures), a digital camera cannot always differentiate between lighting types. Under some lighting conditions the image may appear in strange shades. If that occurs you may change the white balance setting by specifying a lighting condition
(temperature) most appropriate for your scene.
The ISO speed defines light sensitivity. The higher the ISO number is, the more sensitive it is to light. When recording under dark situations or recording a fast-moving subject, use a high-number setting. When recording high-quality images, use a low-number setting.
You can stamp the date on the bottom left of your still images.
