Page 15

This camera can be used with either an SD card or a Multimedia card (MMC).

When traveling and capturing a lot of images, it is convenient to make use of an SD or a Multimedia card. When a card is inserted into the camera, still images/video clips captured will be stored in the card’s memory. When the card is removed, the camera’s internal memory will be used as the storage media.

Inserting the Memory Card

1.Turn off the camera's power by pressing the POWER button.

2.Open the Battery/Memory card compartment door.

3.Firmly insert the memory card into the memory card slot as far as it can go, with the memory card electrodes (metal contacts) end facing the camera.

4.Close back the door firmly.

Removing the Memory Card

1.Turn off the camera's power by pressing the POWER button.

2.Open the Battery/Memory card compartment door.

3.Push the memory card in as far as it can go and release. The card will spring back and protrude slightly. Pull it out with your fingers.

4.Close back the door firmly

Notes :

SD and Multimedia cards are purchased separately.

Pay attention to the card direction when inserting. Wrong direction and forced insert can break it. When the memory card is inserted, access to the camera's internal memory is not possible.

Cards available in the market, and those already formatted for PC and other devices may not be identified by this camera. Therefore, before using them, it is necessary to format them first with this camera.

While the power of the camera is on, do not open the battery cover to replace the memory card or batteries as this may cause irrecoverable corruption of card data.

The memory card is a sensitive device so it should not be subject to any shock. Do not touch the metal part of the card with your hand.

When the memory card is write-protected, it cannot be used. You have to disable the write-protection first.

Switching the Power ON / OFF

Press the POWER button to toggle ON / OFF.

The Status Indicator will lit up immediately upon power on. The light will go off after a while (the length of time varies with the capacity of the memory card that is inserted in the camera) and the camera will then be ready for use.

Switching the LCD Monitor ON / OFF

The LCD monitor is automatically activated when the power is switched on. However, since the LCD monitor consumes battery power fast, we recommend that you turn off the LCD monitor and use the optical viewfinder as far as possible when capturing still images. To switch the LCD monitor ON or OFF, toggle the LCD/OK button.

Notes :

The DATE/TIME setting screen will appear on the LCD monitor upon its activation in the case of a newly purchased camera or if the camera has not been used for a long time.

When the camera is in the Play/Delete mode, the LCD monitor cannot be turned off. The still image/ video clip taken most recently will be shown on the LCD monitor. Further, in the case that no image/video clip exists in the memory, the message "NO IMAGE" will be shown on the LCD monitor.

When no operation is performed within a certain time interval (user set value : [1min] [3min] [5min] [10min] [CANCEL]); Default

value : [3min]), the camera will automatically turn off.
