1 Open the battery cover.

Slide the battery cover open as indicated.

2 Install the battery.

Place the accessory Li-Ion battery into the compartment. Note that the metallic contacts must be aligned with the contacts in the compartment.

3 Replace the cover.

After the battery is properly installed, replace the battery cover.

Treat the Li-ion battery with care:

• Keep the battery away from fire or high-temperature environment (over 140^ or 60^ ).
• Do not drop the battery or try to disassemble it.
• If the battery is not used for long periods, fully discharge and charge the battery at least once a year to maintain its lifecycle.

Upon using the battery for the first time, you are recommended to fully discharge and then charge the battery to ensure its lifecycle.
Purchasing additional batteries: This camera uses one 8210 Li-Ion battery as power source. You can purchase the 8210 Li-Ion Rechargeable battery (3.7 volt; 850mAh) at your local shop.

Using the charger

The battery attached is not fully charged. Please charge the battery at least 4 hours for first time use.

Connect one end of the supplied AC adapter to the charger stand and the other end to a wall outlet.

Note that the metallic contacts must be aligned with the contacts in the charger.

The charging indicator turns red and the charge starts.

When the charging indicator turns green, the battery pack is fully charged.

This charger can only be used to charge the accessory battery pack. Do not use it to charge other unknown batteries.
When in use, do not place the charger near fire or in an enclosed area that retains heat.

Inserting a memory card (optional)

Converting files

Appendix:B

Step 1: Select media

- Adding files for conversion

1 Click the "Select Media" button.
2 An "Open" window will appear. Navigate to the folder that contains the files you'd like to convert.

a. Use the "Files of type" pull-down to filter the file types you'd like to display.
b. Preview highlighted files to be sure that they're the ones you want. Check the "AutoPlay" box to start the playback automatically after you click a file.

3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 above until all the files you want are added. In addition to using the above method, you can also drag-and-drop files directly to the file list in the program window.

Removing files

To delete a file from the list, highlight it and click the "X" icon.

Appendix:B

Step 2: Select destination

Click the "Select Destination" button to select the location where your converted files will be saved. The default save location is "C:\Documents and Settings[current user]\My documents". However, you'll most likely want to save the files to your portable device. In this case, make sure your device is connected, and then click "Select Destination" and choose the device.

Settings

Various program settings can be accessed by clicking the "Settings" button. Each section lets you select one of two settings: "Optimize for the selected device," and "Use custom conversion settings."

Appendix:B

Optimize for the selected device

This is the default setting. The program will automatically set the conversion parameters according to your selected device.

Use custom conversion settings

If you decide to use this option, you can set the various conversion parameters manually.

Video settings

When converting a video file, there are several different parameters:

• Resolution (Options include QVGA (320 x 240) [default] and VGA (640 x 480))
• File Format (MPEG-4 encoded AVI files, WMV files or MPEG-4 encoded ASF files)
  Video Bitrate (Options include 500KB, 1.0MB, 1.5MB, 2.0 MB [default], 2.5 MB, and 3.0 MB)
• Audio Bitrate (Options include 96 KB, 128 KB [default], 192 KB)
• Frame Per Second (Options include [in fps] 15.00, 20.00, 24.00, 25.00 [default], and 29.97)

Selecting "Optimize for the selected device" uses the default values above, where applicable.

After viewing/modifying the various settings, select either "Save" or "Cancel" to return to the main screen. Click "Save" if you'd made changes that you'd like to keep. Otherwise, click "Cancel."

Appendix:B

Step 3: Convert

When you're ready, select (highlight) the files you'd like to convert from the list, and then click the "Convert" button.

A progress bar will display the current status. Various popups may appear asking for specific confirmation. A popup will appear and inform you once all the files have been converted and stored to the location you selected.

Playing the converted ASF files in your camera

To play the video clips or movies (MPEG-4 in ASF format only) converted by ArcSoft MediaConverter in your MPEG-4 digital camera, please follow the steps below.

Step 1

Insert a SD/MMC card in the card slot of the camera and connect the camera to PC via the USB cable. You could follow the instructions of "Connecting the camera to your PC" on page 34 for more information.

Appendix:B

Step 2

Save the ASF files converted by MediaConverter on PC to your camera.

1 Copy the converted ASF files.
2 Open Windows Explorer to find a "Removable Disk" appeared in My Computer.
3 Double-click on the icon of Removable Disk.
4 Double-click on the DCIM file folder.
5 Double-click on the 100MEDIA file folder.
6 Paste the files into 100MEDIA file folder.
7 Change the file names to CLIP**.ASF. *** could be any 4-digit number from 0001 to 9999.

The file name must follow the naming principle of your camera, so that the camera could identify the files saved on 100MEDIA.

Step 3

Now you can use thePlayback（）mode to enjoy the video clips or movies on the large LCD monitor!

The ArcSoft MediaConverter in this package is a customized version for your digital camera. You may visit the website http://www.arcsoft.com for more product information.
