Inserting Batteries
Your kit includes four AAA batteries.
1Turn the camera off.
2Open the battery door by sliding the
cover out to the side as far as it will
go and lifting it.
3Insert the batteries. Ensure that the
battery terminals (+and -) are
properly positioned (as shown).
4Close the battery door securely. Slide
it out to the side as far as it will go,
press it against the camera base, and
slide it back into the base to lock it closed. If you feel resistance, do not force
the door closed.
Note: Replace the batteries when the low-battery
indicator (a) turns on, the LCD shows bL, or
the LCD does not turn on.
Do not mix old and new batteries, batteries of
different types, or batteries from different
manufacturers. High-capacity super-alkaline
batteries provide longer battery life for digital
cameras.

Taking Photos
1Turn the camera on (a). The green
power/status indicator (b) is lit.
2Stand at least 1 m (3 feet) from your
subject.
Note: For best results, take photos
outdoors or indoors in a brightly
lit room.
3Point the camera toward your
subject. If you see the low-light
warning message (LL) on the LCD (e), add light or move to a brighter
location.
If you still want to take a low-light photo without adding light or moving to
a brighter location, hold the camera very steady or attach it to a tripod
(using the tripod mount), due to the increased exposure time required.
Under low light conditions, photo quality may be reduced.
4Frame your subject within the yellow lines in the viewfinder (c).
5Hold the camera steady and press the shutter button (d) until the camera
beeps. (Moving the camera before you hear the beeps may blur the photo.)
The power/status indicator blinks while the photo is processed, and the
picture counter in the LCD (e) increases by one.
