Before you begin using the C-3030 Zoom: 1. Load two CR-V3 battery packs* in the compartment at the bottom of the camera as indicated by the diagram imprinted on the camera body. For best results, Olympus America Inc. strongly recommends using two CR-V3 lithium battery packs or four "AA" nickel metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries. Four "AA" lithium or nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries may also be used. Do not use manganese batteries. An optional Olympus AC adapter (C-7AU) is available and is recommended when downloading images to ensure a consistent power supply voltage. * Non-rechargeable ALL RESET ALL RESET: ON returns picture settings such as flash and focus modes to their factory set defaults. Note: This function does not reset the Setup modes. SHARPNESS: Select NORMAL for sharp, clear images without manipulation; use SOFT for capturing subjects with softer edges, or when you will apply image editing with sharpening filters to pictures downloaded to your computer; and use HARD for sharper outlines that enhance the vividness of images. TIFF SETUP: Select the image size when shooting in TIFF mode. In this mode, the number of storable pictures is reduced, and recording time is the longest. SQ1 SETUP: Select the image resolution level, NORMAL or HIGH quality at 1600 x 1200 or 1280 x 960. These resolution figures represent the number of pixels used to compose an image.
