• Zoom Feature  
• Setting the Picture Resolution and Compression  
Picture resolution refers to the number of pixels in a digital picture.  
Picture quality depends on the JPEG file compression that the camera  
applies when the picture is taken. Higher resolution and less compression  
make better quality which occupies more memory space. Smaller size  
pictures and normal quality are easier to email while larger size and fine  
quality are better for printing.  
1. Set Mode selector to Auto, Manual or Video.  
2. Turn on the camera.  
3. Press Zoom in (Telephoto) /Zoom out (wide) button to zoom in/out  
the subject. While you press the Zoom in (Telephoto) /out (wide)  
buttons, a bar will be shown on the LCD screen as illustrated. The red  
square in the bar indicates the zoom status. “T” stands for “Tele” and  
“W” stands for “Wide”.  
4. The bar disappears from LCD screen. Now you can take pictures or  
record video clips. The zoom setting will remain after taking pictures  
or recording video clips, if you want to take the normal size picture or  
video clip, please use Zoom out button to move the red square to the  
bottom of the bar.

NOTE:  
• A higher EV value is best used for light-colored subjects and backlit subjects. A  
lower EV value is best for dark-colored subjects and for shooting outdoors on a  
clear day.  
• When shooting under very dark or very bright conditions, you may not  
be able to obtain satisfactory results even after performing exposure  
compensation.  
Scene complexity affects a picture’s file size. For example, a picture of  
trees in autumn has a larger file size than a picture of blue sky at the same  
resolution and quality setting. Therefore, the number of pictures you can  
store on the camera internal memory or a memory card may vary. The number  
of pictures on the LCD screen is for reference only.

• Setting White Balance  
• Changing the ISO Speed  
Selecting the right type of white balance can help to make the colors of a  
subject appear more natural under the type of lighting that is available.  
Set the Mode selector to Manual and turn on the camera.  
This function enables you to change the camera’s sensitivity to light  
by selecting different ISO values. ISO is a measure of how quickly  
your camera reacts to light. The higher the ISO value, the less the  
light needed to make an exposure, allowing the same exposure to be  
achieved with higher shutter speeds or smaller apertures. In a digital  
camera, higher ISO value allows higher shutter speed, at the expense of  
mottled or grain appearing in the final picture.

Removing the SD Card  
6 Using the SD Card  
To remove the SD card, turn off your camera , open the SD card door,  
gently push the SD card inwards and then release it. The SD card will  
eject out from the SD card door as illustrated.  
• Using the SD (Secure Digital) card  
Your camera comes with approximately 16MB of built-in flash memory  
for storing pictures/video clips. You can expand the memory using a  
commercially available SD card. The camera senses whether a memory  
card is inserted, and automatically saves pictures accordingly. Note that  
you cannot save pictures to built-in flash memory while a memory card  
is installed in the camera.  
IMPORTANT!  
• Make sure you turn off the camera before inserting or removing a memory card.  
• Be sure to orient the card correctly when inserting it. Never try to force a  
memory card into the slot when you feel resistance.  
• SD memory cards have a write protect switch, which you can use to protect  
against accidental deletion of picture data. “Whenever you want to record,  
format or delete item in the SD Card, you must disable write protection.”  
IMPORTANT!  
Never insert any other objects besides a SD memory card into the camera’s  
card slot. Doing so creates the risk of damaging the camera and card slot.  
Make sure that the terminal of the memory card is facing towards the front  
of the camera.  
Should water or any foreign objects ever get into the card slot, immediately  
turn off the camera, remove the batteries or disconnect the AC adaptor, and  
contact your dealer or nearest service provider.  
Inserting the SD Card  
Turn off the camera and open the battery door as illustrated. Insert the  
SD card ensuring the card is inserted correctly as illustrated. Close the  
SD card door. Make sure that the terminal of the memory card is facing  
the front of the camera.

Memory Card Precautions  
• DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)  
1. Use only an SD memory card or a MultiMediaCard with this camera.  
Proper operation is not guaranteed when any other type of card is used.  
2. Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause  
data corruption or even loss. Always make sure that you always back up  
important data on other media (MO disc, computer hard drive, etc.).  
3. If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can restore normal  
operation by reformatting it. However, we recommend that you always  
take along more than one memory card whenever using the camera far  
away from the home or office.  
The letters ”DPOF” stand for “Digital Print Order Format”, which is a  
format for recording on a memory card or other medium which digital  
camera images should be printed and how many copies of the image  
should be printed. Then you can print on a DPOF-compatible printer or  
at a professional print service from the memory card in accordance with  
the file name and number of copies settings recorded on the card.  
With this camera, you should always select images by viewing them on  
the LCD screen. Do not specify images by file name without viewing the  
file contents.  
4. We recommend that you format a memory card before using it for the  
first time after purchasing it, or whenever the card you are using seems  
to be the cause of abnormal pictures. Remember to format a memory  
card if it was used in another digital camera or other devices.

first.

P.I.M. (PRINT Image Matching)  
7 Installing the Software onto a Computer  
This camera supports PRINT Image Matching. Images recorded with it  
include information about the mode setting, camera setup, etc. When  
you print an image on a printer that supports PRINT Image Matching,  
the printer reads this data and adjusts the printed image accordingly,  
so your image comes out just the way you intended when you recorded  
them. See the documentation that came with your printer for full details  
about PRINT Image Matching.

PRINT Image Matching technology ensures that PRINT Image Matching-  
enabled digital cameras and printers work together perfectly to produce  
the best possible prints. Through this innovative technology, the printer  
is able to instantly identify the print specific information for each image  
captured, to provide superior color, quality and detail in every print.

NOTE:  
Scene complexity affects a picture’s file size. For example, a picture of  
trees in autumn has a larger file size than a picture of blue sky at the same  
resolution and quality setting. Therefore, the number of pictures you can  
store on a card may vary.
