Getting Started
Congratulations on purchasing your new Digital Camera. This camera is a
state-of-the-art camera bringing to you the ease of use of traditional
cameras combined with such high-tech functionality as full-color LCD
(Liquid Crystal Display) photo previewing, allowing you to immediately
see the pictures you have just taken; a built-in, non-expiring flash, up to
8MB or more of digital memory for storing your pictures; and an auto-
flash sensor, which automatically detects whether the flash should be
engaged or not while taking a photo.
Once you have finished taking your pictures, and have uploaded them to a
computer, you can then use image editing software to enhance them before
sending them off to print or you can print the pictures you took through
the direct printing interface.

Using the camera
Power Supply
This camera features a two-way power supply that lets you use either
batteries (AA-size Alkaline) or a household AC current.
Inserting Batteries
1 Place your thumb on the battery door.
2 Slide the battery door away from the
camera.
Botton view of the camera
3 Insert the batteries as indicated on the
inner side of the battery door.
I
Notes:
If you are not going to be using the camera for an extended length of
time, then you should remove the batteries to prevent leaks or corrosion.
Never use manganese batteries.
I
Never mix old and new batteries.
I
Low temperature (under 0 c) may reduce the output efficiency of
batteries, thereby shortening the operation time of camera.
The recommend battery is PANASONIC ALKALINE, DURACELL ULTRA
or rechargable battery.

Battery Life Indicator
When the camera has sufficient power, the Power icon on the LCD display
of the camera remains dark. When the power is low, the Low Power icon is
Flashed to indicate that the batteries are weak and need to be replaced.
Also, do not use the Flash or Auto-Flash features while battery power is
low. Generally, once the Low Power icon comes on, 10 minutes of operation
time is available. (When the batteries are completely dead, the camera will
not turn on.)
Flash Memory
Extended Flash Memory
You can extend the capabilities of your camera by adding the Compact Flash
memory card accessory to it. This card is a removable ATA-compatible
memory device that gives your camera additional memory. With 2MB
memory, for example, you can take 32 extra pictures in Normal mode, or 16
pictures in Fine mode. To insert the Compact Flash memory card, open the
card slot on the bottom of the camera and insert the card with the back side
facing you and heading inward. Next, close the card slot cover and the
camera memory is updated automatically. To remove the card, push the Eject
key on the right side of the slot.
