Do not place the camera in a location affected by oil fumes or steam, such as near a cooking stove or humidifier. This may cause a fire or an electrical shock.
Do not cover or wrap the camera or the AC power adapter with a cloth or quilt. This may cause heat to build up, distort the case and cause a fire. Always use the camera and its accessories in well-ventilated locations.
Handle the camera carefully and do not bump the camera into any hard object.
Handling the camera roughly may cause a malfunction.
Do not move the camera while it is switched on. (If you are using the AC power adapter, unplug the adapter from the AC power outlet after you have switched off the camera.) Ensure that any connector cords or cables to other devices are disconnected before moving the camera. Failure to do so may damage the cords or cables and cause a fire or an electrical shock.
When leaving the camera unused for long periods, such as during a vacation, always unplug the camera from the power source (batteries or AC power adapter) for safety.
(If you are using the AC power adapter, unplug the adapter from the AC power outlet after you have disconnected the camera.) Failure to do so could result in a fire.

INTRODUCTION
O verview
Your new digital camera delivers high quality, 2048 x 1536 resolution images using a 3.2
Megapixels CCD sensor. Using either the optical viewfinder or the 2.5" 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.
In addition to still images, you can also record short videos by using the movie function.
Images you have taken can be downloaded to your computer using the USB cable (USB driver is required only 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.
DPOF functionality allows you to print your images on a DPOF compatible printer by simply inserting the SD memory card.

GETTING STARTED
You can use either 4 AA size batteries (Alkaline or Ni-MH), 2 CR-V3 Lithium battery packs or an AC power adapter (optional accessory) to power the camera.

2. Unlock the battery cover lock, and slide the battery
cover.
3. Insert the batteries, noting the correct polarity marks
(+ or -).
4. Close the battery cover firmly.
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 manganese batteries.
Never use batteries of different type (together) or mix old and new batteries.
Avoid using batteries in extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten the battery life and reduce camera performance. (Such damage is not covered under the warranty).
Using the AC Power Adapter (optional accessory)
1. Make sure the camera is turned off.
2. Connect one end of the AC power adapter to the jack labeled “DC IN 5V” terminal.
3. Connect the other end to an electrical outlet.
16
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.
Using an AC power adapter while transferring images to your computer prevents unexpected automatic power off of the camera.
Using an SD Memory Card (optional accessory)

4. Close the SD card cover.
To remove an SD memory card
1. Make sure the camera is turned off.
2. Open the SD card cover.
3. Press lightly on the edge of the memory card and it will eject.

3. Turn the camera on.
4. Look for a new “Removable Disk” icon appearing in the “My Computer” window. Your recorded images/ video clips will be in a folder on this “removable disk”.
(For Mac users, double-click the “untitled” disk on the desktop.)
Step 3: Downloading Recorded Images/Video Clips
When the camera is turned on and connected to your computer, it is considered to be a disk drive, just like a floppy disk or CD. You can download (transfer) images by copying them from the “removable disk” (“untitled” disk on a Macintosh) to your computer hard driver.
For Computers Running Windows
Open the “removable disk” by double clicking on it. Double click on the folder that contains your recorded images/video clips. Select the images/video clips that you prefer and then choose “Copy” from the “Edit” menu. After that, open the destination location and choose “Paste” from the “Edit” menu.
For Computers Running Mac OS
Open the “untitled” disk window and the hard disk or the destination location. Drag and drop from the camera disk to the desired destination.
It is recommended that you use the AC power adapter as a power supply for the camera while transferring your images/video clips from the camera to your computer to avoid the camera maybe cut off unexpectedly when the batteries run out.
