2.3.1. Safety precautions

Take the following safety precautions in order to avoid damage to the camera and to keep it in perfect condition.

- Keep away from salt and dust Wipe off any salt and dust with a light, damp cloth if you have been using the camera on the beach or at the seaside. Carefully dry the camera afterwards.

- Keep the product away from strong magnetic fields Never place the camera too close to appliances which generate strong electromagnetic fields, such as electric motors. Strong electromagnetic fields may cause the camera to malfunction or interfere with data recording.

- Avoid excessive heat Do not use or store the camera in sunlight or at high temperatures. This can wear the battery out or cause the casing to warp.

- Avoid extreme fluctuations in temperature If you take the camera from a cold environment into a warm one or vice versa, drops of water can form outside and inside the camera which can

cause malfunctions and can damage the camera. Wait until the camera has reached room temperature before switching it on. Using a carrying case or plastic case offers a certain amount of protection against fluctuations in temperature.

- Do not drop the camera

Jarring or vibrations resulting from a fall can cause malfunctions. Loop the carrying strap around your wrist when you carry the camera.

- Do not remove batteries while data are being processed

Switching off the power supply while data are being saved or deleted from memory cards can result in data loss or damage to the internal circuit or the memory.

- Treat the lens and all moving parts carefully Do not touch the lens or the lens barrel. Take care when handling the memory card and the batteries. These parts are not designed for high levels of impact.

- Batteries At low temperatures there can be a sharp drop in battery capacity.

- Memory cards Switch off the power supply before you insert or remove the memory card otherwise data could be lost. Memory cards may heat up during use. Always take care when removing the memory cards from the camera.

- Underwater operation The camera is suitable for underwater operation up to a maximum depth of 3 metres/30 minutes of diving. Please ensure that you do not dive deeper than 3 metres or for longer than 30 minutes.

2.4. Never carry out repairs yourself

MEDION LIFE S42008 (MD 86852) - Never carry out repairs yourself - 1

WARNING!

7.2. Tips for taking good shots

  • The camera should not move when pressing the shutter release. Do not move the camera directly after pressing the shutter release. Wait until the preview appears in the display.
  • View the subject on the display before pressing the shutter release.
  • Check the angle if the subject is lit from behind. Change your position to reduce the background lighting.
  • In order to shoot good video clips, move the camera around slowly. If you pan too quickly, the video footage will be fuzzy and blurred.

▶ Press the shutter release all the way down to take the photograph. A tone indicates that the photo has been taken.

The photos are saved as JPEG files.

7.3.1. Using the flash

If there is insufficient light for the photo, the built-in flash can provide the additional light required.

▶ Press the "Flash" button ✦ repeatedly to choose between the following flash settings:

Setting Meaning
AAUTO: The flash is activated automatically when the shooting conditions require additional lighting
Flash always on
Flash always off

The flash only works in single shot and self-timer mode. It cannot be used for macro shots and video recordings.

3M2048 x 1536
5M2592 x 1944
8M3264 x 2448

8.4.2. Quality

The quality determines how the data recorded are compressed. The higher the quality, the more memory space the images require.

Setting Meaning
SUPERFINEHighest quality
FINEMedium quality
NORMALStandard quality

8.4.3. Metering

This function allows you to determine the range for measuring light for the photos or video recordings.

Setting Meaning
CENTREThe light in the entire shooting range is measured but the measurement is weighted towards the values near the centre.
MULTIPLEAn exposure is selected on the basis of the measurements at several places in the shooting range.
POINTAn exposure is selected on the basis of one single measurement in the centre of the picture.

8.4.4. White balance

The white balance can correct certain light conditions.

FLUORESCENTSuitable for shots in fluorescent light.Corrects the green cast from fluorescent light and can save the flash.

8.4.5. ISO (light sensitivity)

This setting changes the sensor's sensitivity to light. A higher value increases light sensitivity but generates more noise which can have a negative impact on the image quality. It is therefore important to select the lowest possible ISO value for the conditions.

Setting Meaning
AUTOM.Automatic ISO value
100Sets the sensitivity to ISO 100.
200Sets the sensitivity to ISO 200.
400Sets the sensitivity to ISO 400.
800Sets the sensitivity to ISO 800.

8.4.6. Exposure

By correcting the exposure value (EV) you can take pictures which would otherwise be too dark or too light.

There are 13 settings to choose from between +2.0 EV and -2.0 EV.

Use a positive value when light conditions are poor and a negative value in strong light.

Do not use the exposure correction when the subject is in a very bright or very dark area or if you are using the flash. In that case, use the automatic setting ("O").

8.4.7. Self-timer/operating mode

The delayed-action shutter release function allows you to take individual pictures or to make a recording using the self-timer.

PLEASE NOTE!

You cannot restore a file that has been deleted. You should therefore exercise caution when deleting files.

12. PC connection

12.1. Transferring data to a computer

You can copy your pictures and videos to a computer.

Supported operating systems:

Windows XP SP3

Windows Vista SP1

Windows 7

Windows 8

12.1.1. Using a USB cable

Connect the USB cable supplied to the USB output on the camera and to the USB port on the computer.
▶ Switch the camera on. The camera will then be detected by the computer as a removable storage device.

▶ Navigate to the "DCIM" directory and, where applicable, to the relevant subdirectories in order to view the files (*.jpg = photos; *.avi = sound recordings). See also the directory structure in the memory.

Press down the left mouse button and drag the relevant files to the directory provided on the computer, e.g. in the folder "My Documents". You can also highlight the files and use the Windows commands "Copy" and "Paste".

The files are transferred to the computer and stored there. You can display, view and process the files with a suitable software application.

12.2. DCF memory standard

The recordings on your camera are managed (saved, named, etc.) as specified by the DCF standard (DCF = Design Rule for Camera File System). Recordings on memory cards from other DCF cameras can also be played back on your camera.

12.3. Card drive

If your PC has a card drive or is connected to a card reader and you have saved your pictures and recordings on the memory card, you can also just use the card to copy the files to your PC. The card reader is also detected as a removable storage device on the Windows desktop (or in "Computer" if using Vista).

12.4. Memory folder structure

The camera saves the pictures and video recordings in two different directories on the memory card. The following folders are automatically created during the process:

DCIM: All the photographs and video recordings are saved in this folder.

Normal shots are located in the "100MEDIA" folder and automatically saved under the name "IMG_" and a four-digit number.

On reaching the highest number, "IMG_9999", the next folder "101DICAM" is created for the subsequent shots, and so on.

A maximum of 999 folders can be set up. If another shot is then taken, a message will appear informing you that it is not possible to create another folder.

▶ Insert a new memory card.

Do not try to change the folders and files in the camera's own directory structure (by renaming, etc.) as this might result in the loss of data.

13. Installing the software
