CAUTIONS
Do not place this camera in a location affected by oil fumes or steam, such as near a cooking stove or humidifier. This may
cause a fire or an electrical shock.
Do not leave this camera in a location subject to extremely high temperatures, such as in a sealed vehicle or in direct
sunlight. Exposure to high temperatures may adversely affect the camera case and internal components and may cause a
fire.
Do not cover or wrap the camera or AC power adapter with a cloth or quilt. This may cause heat to build up and distort the
camera case and cause a fire. Always use the camera and accessories in well-ventilated locations.
Handle the camera carefully and do not expose the camera to shock or vibration. Handling the camera roughly may cause a
malfunction.
When handling and moving the camera, always unplug it from the power source (if you are using an AC power adapter).
Unplug the adapter from the AC power outlet after you have disconnected the camera. Failure to do so may result in an
electrical shock.
Do not use batteries other than those specified for use with your camera.  Use of unsuitable batteries may result in the
batteries splitting, or leaking and may cause a fire, injury, or soiling of the battery compartment.
When placing the batteries into the camera, check the polarity markings on the batteries ( - and + ) to ensure that the
batteries are inserted correctly. Incorrect battery polarity will result in camera inoperability and may result in the batteries
splitting or leaking and causing a fire, injury, or soiling of the battery compartment.
Remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for an extended period of time. The batteries may leak and cause a fire,
injury or soiling of the battery compartment. If the batteries leak, clean and wipe the battery compartment carefully and install
new batteries.  Wash your hands carefully if you touch the battery fluid.

INTRODUCTION
Overview
Your new digital camera delivers high quality, 2048 x 1536 resolution images using a 3.3 Mega pixel imager. Using either the
optical viewfinder or the 1.5” TFT color image LCD display, 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 turn out right.
8MB internal (built-in) memory lets you capture and store images without the need for an additional memory card. However, you
may wish to expand the memory capacity (up to 256MB capacity) by using an external memory card.
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.
