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 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.
Do not use batteries other than those specified for use with your camera.  Use of

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 ViviCam 3750 delivers high quality images using a 3.1 Mega pixel
sensor. Using the TFT color image LCD monitor, you can compose images and then
examine them in detail. A 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.
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
512MB 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 c\
able (A
USB driver required for Win 98) 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.
