INTRODUCTION

Overview

Your new digital camera delivers high quality, 2560 × 1920 resolution images using a 5.25 Megapixels 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.

SD Memory Card is a storage medium for saving images that you have photographed. Even if the camera's power is turned OFF, the images saved on the SD Memory Card are not erased. SD Memory Card can be repeated read and written.

Images you have taken can be downloaded to your computer using the USB cable (USB driver required for Win 98 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 have already owned. 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 bysimply inserting the memory card.

Note:

The memory card testing results for 512MB are based on Toshiba, Panasonic and Sandisk SD Memory Card.

Look for a new "removable disk" icon appearing in the "My Computer" window. Your recorded images/movies will be in a folder on this "removable disk". (For Mac users, double-click the "untitled" disk drive on the desktop.)

Step 3: Downloading Images/Movies

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

Windows

Open the "removable disk" by double clicking on it. Double click on the folder. Your images are inside the folder(s). Select the images that you want, then choose "Copy" from the "Edit" menu. Open the destination location 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 window and the hard disk or the destination location. Drag and drop from the camera disk to the desired destination.

Note:

Memory card users may prefer to use a memory card reader (highly recommended).
