2. Installing the Batteries  
Step 1: Open the battery door by lifting the tab on the  
door.  
Step 2: Insert two AA batteries with the polarity as  
Shown.  
Step 3: Close the battery cover.  
Warning: Do not open the battery door when the camera is powered ON. This will  
cause all images in memory to be lost immediately. If you open the battery door when  
the camera is OFF (when changing the batteries) you must close the door within thirty  
(30) seconds or your images will be erased from memory.  
Notes:  
1. Always download your images to your computer soon after you have captured them.  
Never assume your images will be retained for more than three or four days. If the  
batteries are depleted, your images will be lost.  
2. If you must change the batteries, makes sure the camera is OFF and then changes the  
batteries in less than thirty (30) seconds.  
3. If you will not use the camera for a long time (several days, or more) remove the  
batteries. The batteries will discharge slowly if left in the camera. This may cause  
complete battery discharge as well as loss of images. The batteries may corrode if  
left in the camera for extended periods of time.  
4. Dispose of batteries properly in accordance with local laws and regulations. Do not  
place them in fire.  
5. The camera has an automatic power-saving feature. The camera will turn off  
automatically if it has not been used after approximately sixty (60) seconds.  
6. When the camera is connected to a computer using a USB cable, it is not necessary to  
use batteries because the camera uses the power provided by the computer through  
the USB interface.

3. Insert/Remove SD/MMC Memory Cards  
The camera accepts a Secure Digital (SD) or a Multimedia  
Card (MMC) memory card up to 256MB capacity.  
The memory card takes priority over the internal memory.  
Whenever a memory card is inserted the camera will immediately  
use the memory card in preference to the internal memory.  
Therefore, when a memory card is inserted, the camera will  
store images and videos on the memory card. Likewise,  
the camera will playback images and videos that are stored  
on the memory card only. To access internal memory remove  
the memory card.  
Inserting a Memory Card  
Insert an SD or MMC card into the memory card slot located on the side of the camera,  
and gently press down with your finger.  
Removing a Memory Card  
Gently press down on the memory card and it will partially eject. Pull the card out with  
your fingers.  
Note: To use the internal memory (8MB), please remove the memory card first.

The camera can capture good images. Here are a few tips for getting the best possible  
images from your camera.  
14  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
1. Use good lighting. The digital camera works best with adequate lighting.  
2. Avoid uneven lighting and high contrast. Compose your scenes so that there are no  
deep shadows or bright backgrounds. The key to good images is balanced (even)  
scene lighting. Use the fill - flash for scenes where high contrast and dark shadows  
are unavoidable.  
3. Minimum focus distance. Make sure your subject is not too close. The minimum  
focus distance is three to four feet (one meter.)  
4. Position your primary subject in the center of the image. The camera focuses best  
in the center of the image. The edges of your images are softly focused, giving a  
nice soft perimeter effect to each image.
