1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Warning
To avoid injury, please note the following warnings when using the product. Never point the viewfinder at the sun or any other bright source of light. If you point the viewfinder at the sun, you may damage your eyes. Make sure you are not too close to people when using the flash. Otherwise you could damage peoples eyes. Keep a distance of at least one metre from children when working with the flash function. Do not place the camera strap around your neck. If the strap is placed inadvertently around the neck there is a risk of choking. Do not open up or dismantle the device. Dismantling the device could lead to an electric shock. Tests on internal components, modifications and repairs should be carried out by specialists only. Please take the product to an authorised service centre for checks. Pull out the mains adapter plug if the battery charger is not in use. The socket must be close to the device and within easy reach. If you are not going to use the camera for a period of time, remove the batteries to prevent leakage

1. Safety instructions

The camera must not be exposed to water droplets or spray. Do not place any objects filled with water (e.g. vases) on top of the device.

Battery instructions

You can operate your camera with rechargeable batteries or standard batteries. You can recharge the batteries in the battery recharger supplied. Please note the following instructions when using batteries: Keep the batteries away from children. Seek medical attention immediately if a battery is swallowed. WARNING. Never try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of an explosion. There is a risk of explosion if batteries are incorrectly replaced. Replace the batteries only with the same or equivalent type. Before inserting the batteries, check that the contacts in the device and on the batteries are clean and, if necessary, clean them. Only use new batteries. Never use old and new batteries together. Do not use a combination of battery types. Please note the polarity (+/-) when inserting the batteries. Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Direct strong heat can damage batteries. Therefore do not expose the device to any sources of direct heat.
Do not throw batteries into a fire, do not short-circuit them and do not dismantle them. Do not expose batteries to extreme conditions; for example, do not place the camera on top of radiators. There is an increased risk of leakage. If the device is not going to be used for long periods, remove the batteries. Remove leaking batteries from the device immediately. Clean the contacts before inserting new batteries. There is a risk of skin irritations from battery acid. Also remove dead batteries from the device. Also note the special safety instructions about the recharging device on page 11.

Precautionary measures

Please note the following precautionary measures to avoid damage to your camera and to keep it in good condition. Store in a dry place This camera is not waterproof and can be damaged if it is immersed in water or if liquids get into the interior of the camera. Keep it away from damp, salt and dust Wipe away salt and dust with a slightly damp soft cloth if you have used the camera on the beach or near the coast. Dry the camera carefully afterwards.
Keep away from strong magnetic fields Do not ever take the camera too close to devices that have strong electromagnetic fields, e.g. electric motors. Strong electro-magnetic fields can cause the camera to malfunctions or corruption of data. Avoid warm conditions Do not use or store the camera in sunlight or in high temperatures. Such intensity can cause the batteries to leak or the case to deform. Avoid extreme fluctuations in temperature If the device is moved suddenly from a cold environment into a warm one or vice-versa, water droplets may form on the inside and outside of the device. To avoid condensation, place the device in its travel case or in a plastic bag before exposing it to sudden temperature changes. Do not drop the device Severe shocks or vibrations caused by dropping the device can cause malfunctions. Place the carry strap around your wrist when carrying the camera. Do not remove the battery when data is being processed. If image data on memory cards is recorded or deleted, switching off the power supply can result in loss of data or damage the internal circuit and/ or the memory. Treat the lens and all moving parts carefully Do not touch the lens or the lens barrel. Be careful when handling the

Charging

Inserting batteries
When inserting the batteries, note the polarity +/ as indicated in the battery compartments. The negative pole should be on the spring. You can insert either two AA batteries or two AAA batteries on the upper side: - Insert AA batteries in the upper compartment (1). - Insert AAA batteries in the lower compartment (2). These smaller batteries should be placed at an angle in the compartment so that the positive pole touches the positive contact. Insert two AA batteries below (3)

Left LED

Right LED
2. The battery recharger Start recharging procedure
When you have inserted the batteries, insert the recharging devices plug in a mains socket. If there is a battery in the upper compartments the right LED will illuminate. If there is a battery in the lower compartments the right LED will illuminate. If all compartments have batteries, both LEDs will illuminate.

Charging times

The following table specifies the approximate charging times for different types of battery and capacities: Size AA Type Ni-MH Capacity 1500 mAh 1800 mAh 2000 mAh 2300 mAh 2500 mAh 650 mAh 750 mAh 800 mAh 1000 mAh 1200 mAh 650 mAh 750 mAh 800 mAh 850 mAh 900 mAh Time for two batteries 1.5 hours 1.8 hours 2.0 hours 2.3 hours 2.6 hours 0.7 hours 0.8 hours 0.9 hours 1.1 hours 1.3 hours 1.4 hours 1.6 hours 1.7 hours 2.0 hours 2.1 hours Time for four batteries 3.0 hours 3.6 hours 4.0 hours 4.6 hours 5.2 hours 1.4 hours 1.6 hours 1.8 hours 2.2 hours 2.6 hours
Stopping charging process
Protection from overcharging
When the batteries are fully charged, the device will switch from the fast charging function to the trickle charge function. Trickle charging begins at the latest after three hours for two AA or AAA batteries or after six hours for four AAA batteries. This protects the batteries from being overcharged. The LED lights will go off when the batteries are fully charged.
Remove charging device from the mains
Although there is protection from overcharging, remove the charging device from the mains after four hours use to prevent any unnecessary wear and tear to the charging device.

3. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

21. TROUBLESHOOTING

Frequently asked questions
Q1: Can I use the camera without batteries if the camera is connected to the computer via the USB/AV cable? A1: No; the camera can only be operated with batteries. Q2: I am not very familiar with digital cameras and often get blurred pictures. Is there a sharpness setting? A2: Yes; turn the macro setting to the flower position when taking closeup photos and to the mountain position for objects further away. Note: If the dial for the macro setting is between these two symbols, the picture will turn out blurred. Ensure there is sufficient light and be sure to hold the camera still for approximately 2 seconds after taking the photograph. Q3: My pictures are often very dark. How can I get lighter pictures? Should I use the flash? A3: Avoid taking photos in areas with very little lighting. If cloudy, use

21. Troubleshooting

additional light sources if you wish to take photos. The flash is recommended for taking photos at night. During the day, the flash can be too bright and your photos could be very light. Q4: Once I have taken a photo, it always takes a while until the picture appears on the LCD monitor. Is my camera not working? A4: Larger picture formats require a little longer before they are shown on the LCD monitor. If you would like to shorten this procedure, use a smaller picture format (M, for instance).
