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.

English

Note: When the 1 MB camera memory is full (about 15 photos), the LCD

shows the memory-full message (FL) and the camera issues three quick

warning beeps. If you press the shutter button, the camera beeps three

times, but does not take a photo.

Note: When the memory is full, transfer photos to your computer (page 9) and

erase them from the camera’s memory (page 7 and page 13).

Using the Self-timer

Use a tripod or place the camera on a flat surface when using the self-timer.

1Turn the camera on (a).

2Set the camera into position to take a

photo.

3Compose the photo in the

viewfinder (b).

4Press the self-timer button (c). The

camera beeps for fifteen seconds, the

beep speeds up and then stops just

before the camera takes the photo.

To cancel the self-timer, press the power button.

Note: Do not press the shutter button when using the self-timer.
