• Setting the Image Size and Quality
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
with normal quality are easier to email while larger size with fine quality
are better for printing.

on the LCD screen is for reference only.
• It is recommended to use the 2304 X 1728 resolution for printing pictures.

6 Using the SD (Secure Digital) Card
• Using the SD Card
Your camera comes with 32MB of built-in flash memory for storing
pictures and video clips. You can expand the memory using a commercially
available SD card (up to 512MB). The camera senses whether a memory
card is inserted, and automatically saves pictures and video clips
accordingly. Note that you cannot save pictures or video clips to the built-
in flash memory while a memory card is installed in the camera.
Memory card precautions:
1. Use only a SD memory card with this camera.
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 formatting it. However, we recommend that you always
take along with more than one memory card whenever using the
camera far away from your home or office.
4. We recommend that you format a memory card when using it for the
first time, 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.

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 protection switch that you can use to protect
files from accidental deletion. However, you must remove the write protection
whenever you want to record new files onto it, format it, or delete its files.
• Files contained in the SD card recorded by other cameras may conflict with
the PDC 4370 camera, and valuable data in your existing SD card may be
distorted or lost when the card is inserted in the PDC 4370 camera. We
strongly recommend the user to use a NEW or formatted SD card for the
PDC 4370 camera. The manufacturer is not liable for losing or corrupting any
valuable data or files in your SD card due to improper operation.
Inserting a SD card
1. Turn off the camera.
2. Open the SD card door by pushing it outwards as illustrated.
3. Insert the SD card and ensure the card is inserted the correct position
as illustrated.
4. Close the SD card door by pressing it downwards and then slide it
back to lock.

Removing the SD card
To remove the SD card, turn off your camera and open the SD card door.
Gently push the SD card inwards and then release it. The SD card will
eject out of the SD card slot.
IMPORTANT!
• Never insert any other object into the camera’s SD card slot. Doing so creates
the risk of damage to the camera and card.
• Should water or any foreign objects ever get into the card slot, immediately
turn off the camera, remove the battery or disconnect the AC adaptor, and
contact your dealer or the nearest service provider.
• Never remove a card from the camera while the camera is powered on. Doing
so can cause the picture or video recording operation to fail, and even damage
the memory card.

• About DPOF
DPOF stands 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.
IMPORTANT!
DPOF print settings can be configured for images on a memory card only, not for
images in the camera’s built-in memory.

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 and length of video clips
you can store on a memory card may vary.
