Photography Terms and Definitions  
Terms  
Definitions  
Auto focus refers to a camera lens’ ability to adjust its configuration in  
order to focus properly on a subject regardless of whether it is near or  
far from the camera. Auto focus lenses generally provide vastly superior  
image quality than do their fixed focus cousins since they do not have to  
rely on their depth of field. Also known as: “AF, auto-focus.  
Auto Focus (AF)  
The adjustment of electronic still picture color channel gains or image  
processing so that radiation with relative spectral power distribution  
equal to that of the scene illumination source is rendered as a visual  
neutral.  
White Balance  
With auto white balance, the camera attempts to determine the  
color temperature of the light and automatically adjust for that color  
temperature. Many people just leave the camera set to auto white  
balance all the time.  
Auto White Balance  
(AWB)  
A standardized ASCII file created in a digital camera and stored on  
removable media along with the image files that indicate how many  
copies of which images should be printed. It also allows index prints,  
cropping, and text overlays to be specified.  
Digital Print Order  
Format (DPOF)  
A compressed file format for digital cameras in which the images  
are compressed using the baseline JPEG standard, described in ISO  
12234-2, and metadata and thumbnail images are stored using TIFF  
tags within an application segment at the beginning of the JPEG file.  
Exif/JPEG  
JPEG  
Joint Photographic Experts Group. An image compression method  
defined in ISO/IEC 10918-1.  
A numerical value that is inversely proportional to the exposure provided  
to an image sensor to obtain an image. Images obtained from a camera  
using a range of exposure index values will normally provide a range of  
image quality levels.  
Exposure Value  
A numerical value calculated from the exposure provided at the focal  
plane of an electronic camera to produce specified camera output signal  
characteristics using the methods described in the referenced standard.  
The ISO speed should correlate with the highest exposure index value  
that provides peak image quality for normal scenes.

Universal serial bus, a digital interface for connecting up to 64 devices

1. Getting to Know Your Camera  
1.1 Overview  
The camera with 5 Mega Pixel sensor can take H.264 videos. By way of using H.264 technology, more  
videos can be taken within certain amount of memory. High quality images with up to 16 mega-pixels  
can also be delivered smoothly. With a color LCD monitor, users can compose images and examine  
them easily.  
The camera features 3” (16:9) LCD touch panel which is an ideal platform for you to operate your  
camera. The menu options are accessible with your finger. With the touch panel, you can select the  
options directly and quickly.  
The camera also features video recording at HD resolution of 1920x1080. You can also connect it  
to an HDTV via an HDMI cable, and easily playback the recorded high-definition videos on the wide  
screen HDTV.  
Moreover, the camera has an advanced uploading feature. With the exclusive built-in Internet Direct  
application, you can upload the videos captured by the camera to the web site more effortlessly .  
ISO sensitivity and color balance can either be adjusted automatically or changed manually. A 10x  
digital zoom helps you to control over the videos and photos you take.  
The varied effect options, such as Time Lapse and Slow Motion, make recording more fun.  
The built-in memory allows you to take photos and to record videos without a memory card. The  
memory card slot allows users to increase the storage capacity.  
Note  
Partial memory of the built-in memory is used for the camera’s Firmware code and software.  
• Install the bundled software application on the CD, ArcSoft MediaImpression, for viewing the  
videos correctly on a PC.

3~5 minutes . The full charge time is about 4 to 5 hours. (Actual  
charging time may vary depending on the condition of the battery.)  
2.3 Inserting and Removing an SD Card  
Although the camera comes with internal memory which allows a  
limited number of photos and video to be recorded, it is strongly  
recommended that you expand the capacity by using SD/SDHC  
memory cards.  
1. Insert the memory card into the slot. Please refer to the figure on  
the right side.  
2. To remove an installed SD card, press the card inwards to release it.  
3. When the card pops out, gently remove it from its slot.  
4. Recommended memory capacity: 1GB or above.

• When a memory card is installed, videos/photos are saved  
on the card rather than on the built-in memory.  
• Protecting Data on an SD Card: SD Card is read-only when  
it is locked. No photos or videos can be recorded when the  
SD card is locked. Make sure the lock is on the writeable  
position before recording any media.

9. Troubleshooting  
Troubleshooting  
1. The flash is not working.  
The battery power is low.  
The camera is in DC power mode.  
In flash auto mode, camera flash fires ONLY when necessary (in dark setting as example).  
2. The files on the memory card do not display smoothly when the LCD shows the “!”  
marking.  
The “!” means the SD card is low speed or contains incompatible content. The way to resolve this  
condition is to format SD card by the camera instead of a PC (Please refer to the detailed Format  
instruction in Section 5).  
Or upgrade to a higher speed performance SD/SDHC/SDXC card to a high speed one.  
3. Why do some of my indoor photos look blurry and dark?  
The camera extends photo exposure time under low light/ indoor condition. Keep the camera  
(and the target subject) steady for several seconds when taking photos. The shutter will sound  
when photos are being taken.  
4. How do I charge battery?  
The quickest and preferred method is to use the supplied AC adaptor with the USB cable (See  
page 8 in this manual for details). You can use the supplied UB cable with a PC or laptop to  
recharge as well. Please note that if you use a laptop, please make sure it is plugged into an AC  
source so that it’s battery is not depleted. The camera must be turned OFF; blinking light  
confirms charging, and the light becomes constant after the charging is completed.  
In AC charging Mode, the light will turn itself off automatically after 3~5 minutes . The full charge  
time is about 4 to 5 hours. (Actual charging time may vary depending on the condition of the  
battery.)  
5. After connecting the USB cable to the computer, ……  
a.The disk [DV] shows the internal memory of the camera. (The disk label may be different  
according to different model and PC OS.)  
b.[Removable Disk] shows the external memory. (Under the circumstances of within the SD/SDHC/  
SDXC card in the camera)  
c.The disk [DVAP] shows the built-in Internet Direct application is saved at this disk. Please DO  
NOT format this disk or delete the application inside; otherwise, the Internet Direct application  
can not function.  
6. The Camcorder does not power up.  
- Make sure the battery is inserted properly.  
- The battery may need to be re-charged.  
- Try removing the battery for 30 seconds and re-install.  
7. The Camcorder does not respond and seems to be locked.  
- Try removing the battery for 30 seconds and re-install. Power up the camcorder.
