Setting Image Resolution and Quality

Resolution and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file size, and compression ratio for your images. These settings affect the number of images that can be stored on a memory card. As you get to know the camera, it is recommended that you try each quality and resolution setting to get an appreciation for the effects that these settings will have on your images.

Higher resolution and higher quality images offer the best photographic results but produce large file sizes. Therefore, few images will take up a lot of memory space.

High resolution and quality settings are recommended for printed output and situations requiring the finest detail. Lower resolution/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 resolution or image quality, perform these steps below:

1. Slide the mode switch to [ ] or [ ].
2. Press the MENU button.

[Picture] of the photography menu is displayed.

Step 1: Installing the USB Driver

Windows 98 computers

The USB driver on the CD-ROM is exclusively for Windows 98 computers. Installing the USB driver on computers running Windows 2000/ME/XP is not necessary.

1. Insert the CD-ROM that came with the camera into your CD-ROM drive. The welcome screen appears.
2. Click "INSTALL USB DRIVER". Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. After the USB driver has been installed, restart your computer.

Macintosh OS 8.6 computers

Mac OS 8.6 users must install a USB driver. For Mac OS 9.0 or higher, the computer will automatically recognize the camera and load its own USB drivers.

1. Insert the CD-ROM that came with the camera into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Select and double-click "Digital Camera Driver Installer".
3. Select "Install Location" and click "Install".
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation and restart your computer.

Step 2: Connecting the Camera to Your Computer

1. Connect one end of the USB cable to the conversion adapter terminal of the camera.

If you use the conversion adapter to connect the USB cable, insert the conversion adapter into the conversion adapter terminal of the camera first, and then connect one end of the USB cable to the USB terminal of the conversion adapter.

1. Connect the other end of the USB cable to an available USB port on your computer.

1. Turn on your camera.
2. From the Windows desktop, double click on "My Computer".
3. Look for a new "Removable disk" icon. This "Removable disk" is actually the memory card in your camera. Typically, the camera will be assigned drive letter "e" or higher.
4. Double click on the removable disk and locate the DCIM folder.

5. Double click on the DCIM folder to open it to find more folders.

6. Your recorded images and video clips will be inside these folders.

7. Copy & Paste or Drag-N-Drop image and video files to a folder on your computer.

Mac users: Double-click the "untitled" or "unlabeled" disk drive icon on our desktop. iPhoto may automatically launch.

NOTE

• The data saved to the SD card may be damaged if the power to the camera is cut off during image transfer. We recommend that you use the AC power adapter when connecting the camera to the PC.

Step 3: Downloading Images and Video Files

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" or "unlabeled" disk on a Macintosh) to your computer hard drive.

Windows

Open the "removable disk" and subsequent folders by double clicking on them. Your images are inside these folder(s). Select the images that you want, and then choose "Copy" from the "Edit" menu. Open the destination location (folder) and choose "Paste" from the "Edit" menu. You may also drag and drop image files from the camera to a desired location.

Macintosh

Open the "untitled" disk icon, and the destination location on your hard disk. Drag and drop from the camera to the desired destination.

NOTE

• Do not open the battery cover during USB cable connection.
  Memory card users may prefer to use a memory card reader (highly recommended).
  Video playback application is not included with the package. Make sure that video playback application has been installed in your computer.
