Battery Installation
Your camera requires two AAA alkaline batteries, which must be inserted as follows:
1. Slide open the battery compartment at the bottom of the camera.
2. Insert the batteries in accordance with the polarity (+/-) shown on the inside of the cover.
3. Close the battery compartment.
The LCD display screen will fash if your batteries are running low in which case you will need 
to replace the camera’s batteries before taking photos. When the batteries get very low on power, 
the LCD display screen will display “Lo” and then automatically switch of.
Note: If you do not intend to use your camera for an extended period, remove the batteries to
avoid leakage and corrosion.
Warning:
• Please download any photos you have on the camera before opening the battery
compartment.
• Opening the battery compartment and/or removing the battery will erase the photos
currently stored in the camera.
• Download your photos as often as possible. Photos may be lost when the batteries
run low. 
						

							Starting Your Camera
-7-Press and hold down the mode button (for about 2 seconds) to start the camera.
• The camera will sound a beep to confirm that it is ready for use.
• The LCD display will indicate the number of photos that can be taken before it becomes necessary to 
download them to your PC.
Taking Photos
1. Compose your shot using the viewfinder. Be sure to keep the camera very still to avoid blurriness.
2. Hold the camera steady and press the shutter button to take a photo.
3. The camera will beep when a photo is taken.
If the camera fails to beep or if a 0 appears on the LCD this is an indication that the memory is
full in which event no further photos can be taken until the existing photos have been
downloaded or cleared from the camera’s memory.
Note: The LCD display indicates how many photos may still be taken at the current resolution
and compression. E.g. In Lr resolution and CP compression 160 images may be taken.
However the LCD counter only displays up to 99. It will continue to display 99 until less than
99 images may still be taken.
