INTRODUCTION
Overview
Your new ViviCam 3826 delivers high quality, 2304 x 1728 resolution images using a 4.0
Megapixel CCD sensor. Using either the optical viewfinder or the color TFT 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.
Secure Digital (SD) Memory Cards store images that you have captured. Even if the ViviCam
3826s power is turned OFF, the images saved on the SD Memory Card are not erased. SD
Memory Card can be repeatedly read and written.
In addition to still images, you can record short videos using the movie function. Images you
have captured can be downloaded to your computer using the USB cable (A USB driver is
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.

The accessories that come with your ViviCam 3826 may be different from those described in this manual due to the fact
that different retailers often specify slightly different product inclusions and accessories to suit their market requirements,
customer demographics, and geographical preferences.  Products very often vary between retailers especially with
accessories such as batteries, chargers, AC adapters, memory cards, cables, carrying cases/pouches, and language
support.  Occasionally a retailer will specify a unique product color, appearance, and internal memory capacity.  Contact
your dealer for precise product definition and included accessories.
