INTRODUCTION Overview Your new digital camera delivers high quality, 2304 x 1728 resolution images using a 4.0 Mega pixel CCD sensor. Using either the optical viewinder or the 1.6" 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 tum out right. The SD Memory Card is storage medium for saving images that you have photographed. Even if the camera's power is tumed OFF, the images saved on the SD Memory Card are not erased. The SD Memory Card can be repeatedly read and written 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 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 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. Package contents Carefully unpack your package and make sure that you have the following items.
