User manual

Silver AGFAPHOTO digital camera with control knob (no visible text or symbols beyond branding)

Thank you for purchasing this AgfaPhoto digital camera. Please read these operating instructions carefully in order to use the digital camera correctly. Keep the instructions in a safe place after reading so that you can refer to them later.

Precautions

Before using the camera, please ensure that you read and understand the safety precautions described below. Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly.

• Do not point the camera directly into the sun or other intense light sources which could damage your eyesight.
• Do not try to open the case of the camera or attempt to modify this camera in any way. High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric shock when exposed. Maintenance and repairs should be carried out only by authorized service providers.
• Do not fire the flash too close to the eyes of animals or people, especially young children. Eye damage may result. In particular, keep at least one meter away from infants when using the flash.
• Keep the camera away from water and other liquids. Do not use the camera with wet hands. Never use the camera in the rain or snow. Moisture creates the danger of electric shock.
• Keep the camera and its accessories out of the reach of children and animals to prevent accidents or damage to the camera.
• If you notice smoke or a strange odor coming from the camera, turn the power off immediately. Take the camera to the nearest authorized service center for repair. Never attempt to repair the camera on your own.
• Use only the recommended power accessories. Use of power sources not expressly recommended for this equipment may lead to overheating, distortion of the equipment, fire, electrical shock or other hazards.

Disclaimer

We assume no responsibility over and above the provisions of the Product Liability Law for damages suffered by the user or third parties as a result of inappropriate handling of the product or its accessories, or by their operational failure and by their use. We reserve the right to make changes to this product and its accessories without prior notice.

Warning! Never open the camera or remove any parts of it. This will void all guarantee claims.

Using your batteries

For best performance and prolonged battery life, we recommend the use of AAA-sized rechargeable NiMH batteries.

Extending battery life

The following functions use up a great deal of battery power and should therefore only be used occasionally:

• Excessive use of flash
• Editing images on the camera display

The battery life can be affected by soiling. Please clean the contacts with a clean, dry cloth before putting the batteries in the camera. Battery performance drops at temperatures below 5^ C ( 41^ F). If you use the camera at low temperatures you should have replacement batteries to hand and ensure they do not get too cold. Please note: you should not dispose of cold and seemingly flat batteries because these batteries may work again at room temperature.

Folder Structure

The folder name begins with a 3-digit number from 100 to 999 and is followed by "DCIM". A new folder can only be made manually. If new files are made, the new files named in sequence will be made automatically.

Naming Files

File names begin with "PICT" and are followed by a 4-digit number that increases in sequence. File numbering starts from 0001 when a new folder is created.

Caution

- Do not change the folder and file names on the memory card using your computer: it may be unable to play back the data on the digital camera.
