WARNING

• Do not use the camera if it is emitting smoke, becomes unusually hot to be touched, emitting any unusual odor or noise, or if it is in any other abnormal state. Operating the camera in any of these situations may cause a fire or an electrical shock. Stop using the camera immediately, turn the camera off, and then disconnect the power source (batteries or AC power adapter). If you are using the AC power adapter, unpl插 the adapter from the AC power outlet after you have disconnected the camera. After checking that smoke is no longer being emitted, contact your dealer or a local authorized service facility and request repairs. Never attempt to repair the camera yourself, as this will terminate the warranty.

INTRODUCTION

Overview

Your new digital camera delivers high quality, 2560 × 1920 resolution images using a 3.1 Mega pixel sensor. Using 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.

16MB internal (built-in) memory lets you capture and store images without the need for an additional memory card. However, you may wish to expand the memory capacity (up to 1GB capacity) by using an external memory card.

In addition to still images, you can record short videos using the movie function.

Images you have taken can be downloaded to your computer using the USB cable (USB driver required for Win 98) 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.

Setting Image Resolution and Quality

Resolution 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 internal memory, or on an SD 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 files 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 the steps below:

1. Press the MENU button.

The menu screen appears.

1. Select Quality or Resolution by using the or button.
2. Select the desired image quality or image resolution setting by using the or button.
