Using your new Argus DC-2185 Digital Camera is as easy as 1,2,3!

Getting Started with your new Argus DC-2185 Digital Camera

1.Remove the plastic protective covering from the LCD on the back of the camera.

2.Open the battery door on the bottom of the camera and insert three AAA alkaline batteries – we recommend photo grade AAA batteries or other brand-name long life batteries for best performance.

a.Please use high grade Alkaline, Photo Grade Alkaline or rechargeable Alkaline batteries for your camera’s best performance.

b.Please do not leave batteries in your camera for an extended time without use as they may cause damage to the camera.

c.We recommend that you store images only on your removable memory (SD/MMC) card, however your new DC-2185 includes a small amount of built-in memory that will store approximately eight images. If you decide to save any images directly to the camera, please transfer photos saved to the cameras internal memory onto your computer before replacing the batteries to avoid losing photos.

d.Photos saved to an SD/MMC card are secure and will not be lost if the batteries are drained or removed.

3.Turn the camera on by pressing the “ON/OFF” button for approximately three seconds. The camera will automatically shut off automatically after 60 seconds, however you can also shut it off by pressing and holding the “ON/OFF” button for approximately three seconds when the camera is on.

4.Frame your subject using either the optical or LCD viewfinder. Always try to get as close as you can and be sure there is enough light. If more light is needed, please turn on the flash feature.

a. Turn on the flash by holding the “Flash/Down” key – you will see the Flash icon on the LCD blink for a few seconds and then a Flash Symbol will appear, press “Flash/Down” again – the Auto Flash is now on. The camera will then be in Auto Flash mode and the camera will adjust the light for the exposure automatically.

1.The flash icon should NOT have a line through it as that would indicate the flash is in the off mode.

2.If the flash icon will not set to auto flash, your batteries may be low and need to be replaced.

3.The default for the flash is off. Each time you turn your camera on, you will need to reset the flash to Auto Flash if needed.

b.Once the subject is framed and the lighting condition is set, press the shutter button on the top of the camera. Please hold the camera steady for approximately three seconds to ensure the best exposure.

c.To review the image, press the “Preview” button.

d.To return to the capture mode, press the “Preview” button again.

Other Important Features of your new Argus DC-2185 Digital Camera

1.Internal Memory: Your camera is equipped with 8MB of built in storage that is designed as starter memory only and can hold a few images (up to 8). We strongly recommend that you purchase and use a SD/MMC memory card (electronic film!) to store your images. The Argus DC-2185 can operate with SD cards ranging from 16MB up to as much as 512MB which will hold hundreds of images.

*Note: If when inserting an SD or MMC card, a format icon may appear, this means your memory card needs to be formatted in order to work with this camera. Please press the shutter button to format the SD card.

The camera resets to the self-timer off position once it has

been used.
