PREPARING THE CAMERA

Installing the Batteries

You can use 2 AA size batteries to power the camera. Make sure that the power of the digital camera is off before inserting or removing the batteries.

1. Make sure the camera is turned off.
2. Open the battery cover.
3. Insert the batteries in the correct orientation as shown in the illustration.
4. Close the battery cover.

To remove the batteries, turn the camera off before removing them. Hold the camera with the battery cover facing upward, then open the battery cover.

Be careful not to drop the batteries when opening or closing the battery cover.

Using the AC Power Adapter (Optional Accessory)

Use of the AC power adapter is recommended if you intend to use the LCD monitor for a long time or connect the camera to a PC.

1. Make sure your camera is turned off.
2. Connect one end of the AC power adapter to the camera jack labeled "DC IN 3.0V".
3. Connect the other end to an electrical outlet.

Make sure to use only the AC power adapter specified for the camera. Damage caused by the use of an incorrect adapter is not covered under the warranty. To prevent unexpected auto power off resulting from no battery power left during the process of transferring your images to the computer, use the AC power adapter as a power supply. The AC power adapter can only be used to power the camera. Batteries cannot be charged inside the camera.

Inserting and Removing an SD Memory Card (Optional Accessory)

The digital camera comes with 12MB of internal memory, allowing you to store captured still images or video clips in the digital camera. Moreover, you can also expand the memory capacity by using an optional SD (Secure Digital) memory card so that you can store more files.

1. Make sure your camera is turned off before inserting or removing a memory card.
2. Open the SD card cover.
3. Insert an SD memory card in the correct orientation as shown in the illustration.
4. Close the SD card cover.

To remove the SD memory card, make sure the camera is turned off. Press lightly on the edge of the memory card and it will eject.

■ Be sure to format an SD memory card with this digital camera before using it. Refer to the section in the manual titled "Formatting an SD Memory Card or Internal Memory" for further details. ■ To prevent valuable data from being accidentally erased from an SD card, you can slide the write protect tab (on the side of the SD memory card) to "LOCK". ■ To save, edit, or erase data on an SD memory card, you must unlock the card.

GETTING STARTED

Turning the Power On/Off

■ Press the Ⓞ button until the digital camera turns on. ■ To turn the power off, press the Ⓞ button again.

Choosing the Screen Language

When the camera is turned on for the first time, a language-selection screen will be displayed in the monitor. Follow the steps below to choose the desired language.

1. Rotate the mode dial to SET-UP and turn your camera on by pressing the button.

■ The [Setup] menu is displayed.

1. Use ▼ to select [Language], then press the @ button.
2. Use ▲ or ▼ to select the language you want.
3. Press the button to confirm.

Setting the Date and Time

Formatting an SD Memory Card or Internal Memory

The term “Formatting” means preparing an “SD Memory Card” to record images; this process is also called “initialization”. This utility formats the internal memory (or memory card) and erases all stored images and data.

1. Rotate the mode dial to SET-UP and turn your camera on by pressing the button.

The [Setup] menu is displayed.

1. Use ▼ to select [Format], then press the OK button.

Formatting is an irreversible action and data cannot be recovered at a later time. An SD memory card having any problem cannot be properly formatted.

Using the LCD Monitor

Your camera is equipped with a 2.0" LTPS TFT-LCD monitor to help you compose images, replay recorded images/video clips or adjust menu settings. The mode icons, text and numbers displayed on the monitor may vary according to the current settings.

1. Rotate the mode dial to A, P, Av, Tv, M, SCN or ☑.
2. Press the button to turn on the power.

This is especially important when you are shooting under low lighting conditions, which your camera may decelerate the shutter speed to ensure your images are properly exposed.

PHOTOGRAPHY MODE

Shooting Images - The Basics

1. Rotate the mode dial to A, P, Av, Tv, M or SCN and turn your camera on by pressing the ① button.
2. Compose the image on the monitor screen so that the main subject is within the focus frame.
3. Press the shutter button down halfway to focus the image.

- When you press the shutter button down halfway, the camera's Auto Focus feature automatically focuses the image and exposure.

1. Press the shutter button the rest of the way down to capture the image.

■ The actual captured image appears to be larger than the one on the LCD after the image is captured.

- Pressing the |0| button switches the LCD monitor display mode. Each time you press the |0| button, the display changes in the following order: Focus Frame On → Indicators Off → Composition Line On → LCD Off.

Setting Image Resolution and Quality

As you get to know the digital camera, you can set the image resolution (number of vertical and horizontal pixels) and image quality (compression ratio) based on the types of images you want to shoot. These settings affect the number of images that can be stored in memory or on a memory card.

Higher resolution and higher quality images provide finer detail but cause the images' file size to be larger.

To change image resolution or image quality, perform these steps below:

1. Rotate the mode dial to A, P, Av, Tv, M, or SCN and turn your camera on by pressing the button.
2. Press the MENU button, then use ◀ or ▶ to select the [Capture] / [Function] / [Image] menu.

In (Auto) Mode, press the MENU button to access the menu directly.

1. Use ▼ to select [Image Size], then press the Ⓤ button.
2. Use ▲ or ▼ to select the desired setting, then press the Ⓞ button to confirm.
3. Follow steps 3 and 4 above to set the [Quality].

■ The possible number of shots and recording time depend on the storage size, resolution and quality settings and the subject of the image to be captured. ■ You can resize the images later. (Please refer to the section in this manual titled "Resizing an Image" for further detail.)

■ Possible Number of Recordable Images

The frame counter indicates the approximate number of images that can be stored on the SD memory card. The number of recordable images may vary depending on the recorded subject, the capacity of the memory card, the presence of files other than images, or when the recording is made while switching the picture quality or resolution.

When taking photographs, the red-eye phenomenon can be reduced by asking the subject (person) to look at the digital camera or get as close to the digital camera as possible.
FLASH ON The flash	will always fire regardless of the surrounding brightness. Select this mode for recording images with high contrast (backlighting) and deep shadows.
FLASH OFF	Use this mode in the environment that the flash use is prohibited or under the situation that the distance to the subject is too far away for the flash to have any effect.

Using the Self-Timer

The self-timer can be used in situations such as group shots. When using this option, you should either mount the camera on a tripod (recommended) or rest it on a flat, level surface.
