INTRODUCTION

Overview

Your new stylish digital camera delivers high quality, 2560 x 1920 resolution images using a 5.0 Mega pixels CCD sensor. Using the 1.7" 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.

16 MB internal memory (14 MB available for image storage) lets you capture and store images without the need for an additional memory card. However, you may wish to expand the memory capacity by using an external memory card.

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

Images you have taken can be downloaded to your computer using the USB cable. 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.

DPOF functionality allows you to print your images on a DPOF compatible printer by simply inserting the memory card.

Setting the 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 in 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, fewer images will take up more 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 quality settings perform the steps below:

1. Press the MENU button to enter the

[Capture] menu and select [Size] or [Quality]

by using the / button. Press the OK

button to enter the sub-menu.

1. After entering the sub-menu, select your option by using the / button.

Press the OK button to confirm the setting.

1. To exit from the menu mode, use the / button to select [Exit] and press the OK button.

Number of Recordable Images

The frame counter indicates the approximate number of images that can be stored on the internal memory or the SD memory card at the camera's image quality and size settings. The number of recordable images may vary depending on the recorded subject and the capacity of the memory card, or if there are files other than images, or when the recording is made while switching the picture quality/resolution.
