Charging the Battery
To maximize performance and lifetime, we recommend that you fully charge
the battery and discharge it for at least one complete cycle before use. Using
the optional AC power adapter charges the battery while the battery is inside
the camera.  Make sure that the camera is powered off and the AC adapter is
disconnected from the camera before inserting or removing a battery.
1. Insert one end of the AC power adapter into the DC IN 5V terminal of the
camera.
2. Insert the other end of the AC power adapter into a wall outlet.
The viewfinder LED lights orange momentarily when an AC adapter is
connected to the camera and a battery is inside the camera.  The
viewfinder LED will then turn green while charging is in progress.  The
LED goes off when charging is completed.  If the LED remains orange a
charging error has occurred.
It is recommended to fully discharge the battery before recharging.
Charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and the status
of battery.
You may use the Vivicam 4000 while the battery is charging, with the AC
power adapter connected.

Use only the specified AC power adapter.  Damage caused by the use of
an incorrect adapter is not covered under the warranty.
The battery may feel warm after it has been charged or immediately after
being used. This is normal and not a malfunction.
When using the camera in cold conditions, keep the camera and battery
warm by storing it in a warm place such as an interior pocket between
shots.
If you open the battery/memory card cover without removing the battery,
the battery power will not be disconnected.  If you remove the battery for
more than two hours the date and time must be reset.
Never attempt to use an AC adapter/charger with the Vivicam 4000 if you
are using a Duracell CP1 battery.

Inserting and Removing an SD Memory Card (Optional
Accessory)
Images captured with the Vivicam 4000 will be stored on a Secure Digital (SD)
memory card.  You must have an SD card in place to use the Vivicam 4000.
Before inserting or removing the SD card, make sure that the power of the
camera is off.
Inserting an SD card
1. Open the battery/SD card cover.
2. Insert the SD card in the correct orientation
as shown.

facing the rear side of the camera.  Insert
the card as far as it can go.  There will
be a distinct click as the card seats fully
into the card slot.
3. Close the battery /SD card cover.
Removing an SD card
Open the battery/SD card cover, press lightly on the edge of the SD card and it
will eject.
If the Vivicam 4000 is powered on
without an SD card inserted, a
message  NO CARD appears on
the LCD monitor.
To prevent valuable data from
being accidentally erased from an
SD card you can slide the write-
protected tab (on the side of the SD
card) to “LOCK”.
However, to save, edit or erase data on an SD card, you must unlock the
card.
The Vivicam 4000 cannot use MultiMediaCardTM (MMC) memory cards.
Removing a memory card when the camera power is on may potentially
corrupt the memory card.

Setting Image Resolution and Quality
Resolution and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file
size, and compression ratio for your images. These settings affect the number
of images that can be stored  on a memory card. As you get to know the Vivicam
4000, it is recommended that you try each quality and resolution setting to get
an appreciation for the effects that these settings will have on your images.
Higher resolution and higher quality images offer the best photographic results
but produce large file sizes. Therefore, few images will take up a lot of memory
space.
High resolution and quality settings are recommended for printed output and
situations requiring the finest detail. Lower resolution/quality images take up
less memory space and may be quite suitable for sharing images via e-mail, in
a report, or on a web page.
To change image resolution or image quality, perform these steps below:
1. Set the mode dial to one of the photography
modes.
2. Press the MENU button.
[Picture] of the photography menu is
displayed.
3. Select [Size] with the 
 /  buttons, and
press the SET button.
4. Select the desired setting with the 
 /  buttons, and press the SET button.
5. Select [Quality] with the 
 /  buttons, and press the SET button.
6. Select the desired setting with the 
 /  buttons, and press the SET button.
7. To exit from the photography menu, press the MENU button.
