Overview
Your new digital camera delivers high quality, 2048 x 1536 resolution images using a 3.2
Megapixel CCD sensor. Using either the micro display viewfinder or the 2.5 TFT color
image LCD monitor, you can compose images and then examine them in detail. An
automatic-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.
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 is required only 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.

 4 x AA (Alkaline or Ni-MH) batteries or 2 x CR-V3 batteries
