INTRODUCTION

Overview
Your new digital camera delivers high quality, 2560 x 1920 resolution images using a 5.25 Megapixels CCD imager. Using either the optical viewfinder or 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. An SD Memory Card is a storage medium for saving images that you have photographed. Even if the cameras power is turned OFF, the images saved on the SD Memory Card are not erased. The SD Memory Card can be read from and written to repeatedly. 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. Note:

The memory card testing results for 512MB are based on Toshiba, Panasonic and Sandisk SD Memory Card.

GETTING STARTED

You can use either a Lithium Ion battery or an AC power adapter (5 V) to power on the camera. Battery power is convenient for capturing images or video clips while an AC adapter power is useful when transferring images to your computer.
Installing the Battery(Optional)
1. Make sure the camera power is off. 2. Open the battery/SD Memory Card cover. 3. Insert the battery in the correct orientation shown.

Close the battery/SD Memory Card cover. To remove the battery: Open the battery/SD Memory Card cover and then release the battery lock lever. After the battery is slightly ejected, pull out the battery slowly. Note:
Use only the specified battery type (Lithium Ion). If you are not going to use the battery for an extended period of time, remove it from the camera to prevent leakage or corrosion. Never use different type of battery. Avoid using the battery in extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten the battery life and reduce the camera performance. A Duracell Non-rechargeable Lithium battery is possible to use in an emergency, but the camera performance can not be guaranteed.
Using an AC Power Adapter(Optional)
1. Make sure the camera power is off. 2. Connect one end of the AC power adapter to the DC IN 5V terminal. 3. Connect the other end of the AC power adapter to a power outlet.

In this case, press the shutter button, and check the brightness in the preview image (photographed still image).
Setting the Image Size and Quality
Size and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file size, and compression ratio for your image. These settings affect the number of images that can be stored in an SD Memory Card. Larger and higher quality images offer the best photographic results but take up more memory space. Larger/quality settings are recommended for printed output and situations requiring the finest detail. Smaller/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 size or image quality, 1.
