GETTING STARTED
You can use either 2 AA size batteries (Alkaline, Ni-MH) or a specified AC power
adapter as the power supply for the camera. Battery power is convenient for re-
cording images or video clips while AC adapter power is recommended for trans-
ferring images to your computer.
Installing the batteries
1. Make sure the camera is off.
2. Slide the battery/SD card cover in the direc-
tion of the OPEN arrow.
3. Insert the batteries according to the correct
polarity marks (+ or -).
4. Close the battery/SD card cover firmly.
NOTE
• One CR-V3 Lithium battery pack is also acceptable for the power supply.
• If you won’t be using the batteries for an extended period of time, then remove them from the
camera to prevent leaks or corrosion.
• Never use manganese batteries.
• Never use different types of batteries together or mix old and new batteries.
• Low temperatures can shorten the battery life and reduce the performance. Avoid using them
in extremely cold environments.
Using the AC power adapter
1. Make sure the camera is off.
2. Open the DC IN jack cover and connect one
end of the AC power adapter to the DC IN
jack on the camera.
3. Connect the other end to an electrical outlet.
• Make sure to use only the specified AC power adapter (2.5A/3.3V) for the camera. Otherwise,
it may cause damages to the camera, which 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.

Loading a SD memory card
The camera comes with 8MB of internal
memory, allowing you to store images and video
clips in the camera. However, you can expand
the memory capacity by using an optional SD
memory card so that you can store more im-
ages and video clips.
1. Make sure the camera is off.
2. Slide the battery/SD card cover in the direction of the OPEN arrow.
3. Insert the SD memory card.

 The front side of the SD memory card (printed arrow) and the front side of
the camera should face in the same direction.

 If the card cannot be inserted, check whether the direction is correct.
4. Close the battery/SD card cover.

 To remove the SD memory card, make sure the camera is off. Open the
battery/SD card cover. Slightly press the SD memory card once and remove
it.
• To prevent valuable data from being erased
accidentally, you can switch the write protect tab at
the side of the SD memory card to “LOCK.” To save,
edit, or erase data in the SD memory card, cancel the
write protection state.
NOTE
Attaching the strap
To prevent your camera from accidental slipping
during use, always use the strap.
1. Thread one end of the camera strap through
the strap eyelet and pull the other end
through the loop until the strap is firmly
secured.

Setting the image resolution and quality
The resolution and quality settings determine the size and compression ratio of
your images and how many images can be stored in internal memory or on the SD
memory card. The higher resolution and quality produce the large size and less
compressed image but take up more space in memory.
Higher resolution and quality are recommended if you want to enlarge images.
Lower resolution and quality take up less memory space, suitable for sharing im-
ages via e-mail or the Internet. To change the image resolution and quality, press
the 
 button on top of the camera repeatedly until the settings that you want
appear on the status LCD.
Resolution & Quality:
The camera provides 2 resolution modes and 3 quality modes, which can be
changed cyclically by pressing the 
 button. The cyclical order is   ➔
  ➔   ➔   ➔   ➔   ➔ repeat.

Taking pictures
RECORD MODE
The camera is equipped with an optical viewfinder and a 1.6 LCD monitor to com-
pose pictures. Taking pictures by using the viewfinder can conserve battery power.
If the battery level is low and there are no extra batteries handy, we recommend
that you use the viewfinder to compose pictures. Using LCD monitor can accu-
rately compose pictures and examine all details but consume more battery power.
 Using the viewfinder
1. Turn the camera on by sliding the POWER
switch.
2. Turn the mode dial to the 
 mode or the 
mode.
3. Compose the picture in the viewfinder.
4. Press the shutter button down halfway (the
camera adjusts the exposure and the focus),
then press it the rest of the way down.

 When the camera adjusts the exposure and
focus, the LED indicator lights red. Take a
picture until the LED indicator lights green.

 The LED indicator blinks orange while the
camera is processing a captured image.
