3 Taking and Managing the Pictures  
Before you take pictures, please read this note first:  
IMPORTANT!  
Never remove batteries, disconnect the AC adaptor from the camera, or  
unplug the adaptor while a picture is being saved. Doing so will prevent the  
current picture being saved and may corrupt other pictures already stored on  
the camera’s internal memory or on a memory card.  
Outdoor Pictures without the Flash  
Take pictures at approximately 18 inches to ∞ (45cm to ∞).  
Avoid intense sunlight that may cause sun spots in pictures.

• 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.

• 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.  
• Use 2272 X 1504 for printing pictures at 3:2.

• Changing the ISO Speed  
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.  
You can change the ISO value according to the following steps:  
Set the Mode selector to Manual and turn on the camera.  
Press  
Press  
Press  
or  
to  
select  
Press  
100/200/400: In the same lighting condition, the higher ISO value is,  
the faster the shutter speed will be.  
Auto:  
The camera’s sensitivity is automatically changed by  
different lighting value or subject brightness.  
The ISO value appears on the LCD screen when ISO setting is  
activated.

6 Using the SD Card  
• 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 (up to 256MB). 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.  
Memory Card Precautions  
1. Use only an SD memory card 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.  
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.  
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.”

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.

Removing 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.  
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.

• DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)  
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.  
IMPORTANT!  
DPOF print settings can be configured for images on a memory card only, not  
for images in the camera’s built-in memory. To configure DPOF print settings for  
images in the camera memory, you need to copy the images to a memory card  
first.

P.I.M. (PRINT Image Matching)  
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.  
Now your digital camera and your printer can speak the same language.  
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 colour, quality and detail in every print.  
For more detailed information, please go to the PRINT Image Matching

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 memory card may vary.
