INTRODUCTION Overview Your new digital camera delivers high quality, 2048x1536 resolution images using à 3.3-Megapixel CCD imager. Using either the optical viewfinder or 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. 8MB 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 256MB 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 Win98 and Mac OS 8.6). 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 à report, or on a website. DPOF functionality allows you to print your images on a DPOF compatible printer by simply inserting the memory card. Package contents Carefully unpack your package and make sure that you have the following items.
