Insert 2 AA Alkaline batteries into the camera as indicated, then close the battery cover until it clicks. Taking A Photo Inserting An SD Card The camera stores 10-271 photos in the 16MB internal memory, depending on resolution/quality settings (refer to the chart at the back of this manual). To expand the available storage, you may add an optional SD ("Secure Digital") memory card, with any capacity up to 512 MB. The card is inserted into a slot in the battery compartment as shown in the last diagram. Note that the "notched" corner is on the left, with the metal connectors facing up. 6 Hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn on the camera. The LCD monitor startup screen will appear, and the red flash charge indicator will 1 blink briefly. When you see the live image preview (1), the camera is ready to shoot. Compose your photo on the LCD display (or use the viewfinder if the LCD is hard to see or batteries are low). Press the shutter release halfway down to set the autofocus on the central area indicated by the AF marks (2). When focus is complete, the green AF light by the viewfinder comes 2 on, and the AF marks on the LCD will change from red to green (you can snap a photo while the marks are still red, but it may not be sharp). For offcenter subjects, set focus with AF area centered on the subject, then move the camera as desired, while continuing to hold the shutter release halfway. Press the release down all the way when you are ready to take the photo (3). The LCD will automatically show a quick review of the photo after you take it (the review time can be changed in the Mode Menu settings). To turn off the LCD to conserve battery power, press the Quick View button quickly Autofocus twice (holding it down changes to Photo Review Mode). 3 Area Frame Press the "T" (telephoto) key on the arrow pad to zoom in (up to 4x digitally). Pressing the "W" (wide) key after you start to zoom in will zoom back out towards normal magnification. NOTE: At high digital zoom settings, the live preview image may appear "coarse" or soft due to real time processing limitations. This does not represent the actual quality of the captured image, as you will see in the quick review after the photo is taken. Once the AF indicator turns green, this confirms that focus is locked in and your subject will be as sharp as possible in the final photo. Using The Digital Zoom 7 Using The Flash The default setting is "Auto Flash" when the camera is turned on, meaning the flash will fire only if needed, in low light conditions. Pressing the right button on the 4-way keypad will select other options: Red-Eye Reduction (short pre-flash to reduce pupil size for portraits ), Flash On (forces flash to fire in bright conditions-good (will not fire in any light for filling in shadows on a person's face with the sun behind them), and Flash Off conditions-useful in museums or theatres where flash is prohibited.) The icon corresponding to the current flash setting is displayed on the LCD (see "LCD Display Icons"). NOTE: When on "normal" Auto Flash, no icon will be seen. After taking a flash photo, there will be a delay of several seconds before the next photo may be taken, while the flash circuits are recharging, . Using The Top Menu Pressing the OK/Menu button below the arrow pad will display the top menu selections on the LCD. There are 2 "Shortcut" menus, which allow you to quickly change the photo size/quality or switch to movie mode, and a Mode menu containing multiple settings arranged in groups or "tabs." Press the keypad button in the same direction of the icon for each menu to enter it. The menus and their functions are : Menu Selection Display Menu Movie Mode/ Still Photo Mode Image Size & Quality Icon from photo mode from movie mode Action Switches from still photo to movie mode for recording video clips (avi format). Press the "up" arrow key again to return from movie mode to still photos. Image (file) Size can be set from 2048x1536 down to 800x600 pixels in 5 steps. Larger image sizes provide higher resolution (sharpness) but use more storage memory. Image Quality can be set to "FQ" (fine quality), "NQ" (normal) or "EQ" (economy). This affects the amount of .jpg file compression, with FQ being the least compression/highest quality/largest file. The smaller size/lower quality settings will use less memory , if you know you will only make small prints or email your photos. Using The Macro Focus and Self Timer Macro focus allow you to photograph close up subjects in a range from approx. 4" to 24" (10-60cm). To set the camera to macro focus mode, press the left keypad button. The macro/ timer menu will be displayed on the LCD. With the macro (flower) icon highlighted, press "OK" to select it. The macro icon will be seen on the preview LCD. Be sure to hold the camera steady and wait for the autofocus light when taking photos in macro mode. To return to normal focus range, press the left key button, select macro again and press OK. Once in the macro/timer menu, pressing the down keypad button will highlight the self timer options, which allow you to include yourself in a photo, with 3 or 10 second delays available. Press OK with the desired time selected. With the camera set up on a tripod or sturdy level surface, press the shutter release-the shutter will snap at the end of the time. The timer is also useful for avoiding shaking the camera when taking night scene photos, as the camera will operate at slower shutter speeds. To return to normal shutter operation, press the left key button, select the current timer, and press OK. Press Cancel while in the macro/timer menu to exit it without making a selection. 8 Note: only the first # is shown in the size menu: Macro/ Timer Menu 2048 x 1536 1600 x 1280 1280 x 960 1024 x 768 800 x 600 9 Using The Top Menu Menu Mode Menu continued Inside the Mode Menu-Groups/Items/Settings Action Opens additional menus as described next.
