Chapter 1: Getting to Know Your Camera 14

Tips for saving battery life

In order to extend battery life use following tips:
! Use the optical viewfinder instead of the LCD to frame images.
! When recording more than one image, do not switch on and off the camera too often. After 30
seconds of inactivity the LCD automatically switches off.

USB Power

The moment you connect your camera to a PC (with the supplied USB cable), it is powered by the
PC (and does not use battery power).
" Note: If the camera is USB-powered the flash is disabled.
Memory Options

! In the Internal memory (2 MB).

capacity).
