E-15 User's Manual >> 16-E Digital Camera >> GETTING STARTED You can use either 2 AA size batteries (Alkaline or Ni-MH) or an AC power adapter (optional accessory) to power the camera. Battery power is convenient for capturing images or recording video clips while an AC power adapter is useful when transferring images to your computer. Installing Batteries 1. Make sure the camera is turned off. 2. Slide the battery cover in the direction of the [OPEN] arrow. 3. Insert the batteries, noting correct polarity (+ and -). 4. Close the battery cover firmly. VIDEO OUT Different battery types and surrounding temperatures may affect the battery performance. Avoid using batteries in extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten the battery life and reduce camera performance. This low temperature will also influence Alkaline battery performance, therefore Ni-MH rechargeable battery is highly recommended. If you are using the new rechargeable batteries or rechargeable batteries that have not been used for an extended period of time (batteries that pass the expiry date are exceptions) might affect the number of pictures that can be taken. Therefore, to maximize their performance and lifetime, we recommend that you fully charge the batteries and discharge them for at least one complete cycle before use. If you will not be using the batteries for an extended period of time, remove them from the camera to prevent leakage or corrosion. Never use batteries of different types (together) or mix old and new batteries. Never use manganese batteries. User's Manual >> Using an AC Power Adapter (optional accessory) 1. Make sure the camera is turned off. 2. Open the terminal cover and connect one end of the AC power adapter to the jack labeled "DC IN 3V". 3. Connect the other end to an electrical outlet.

Refer to section in this manual titled "Setting Image Resolution and Quality" for further details. Your camera adjusts the exposure of each scene automatically. However, if the subject is very dark, or very bright, you may override the camera's automatic exposure determination to make the subject brighter or darker. This is called EV compensation. Examples of Exposure Compensation: Positive (+) Compensation - Imaging printed text (black characters on white paper) - Portraiture with back lighting - Very bright scenes (such as snow) and highly reflective subjects - Shots made up predominantly of sky Quality EV Option 2032 x 1520 1600 x 1200 1280 x 960 640 x 480 Super fine Fine Normal -2.0 ~ +2.0 User's Manual >> Negative (-) Compensation - Spot lighted subjects, particularly against dark backgrounds - Imaging of printed text (white characters on black paper) - Scenes with low reflectivity, such as shots of green or dark foliage White balance Your camera adjusts the white balance of each scene automatically. However, the images that your camera captures will appear different under different lighting conditions (sun, shade, fluorescent, tungsten lights). Unlike your eyes, which can easily adjust to different lighting conditions (lighting temperatures), a digital camera cannot always differentiate between lighting types. Under some lighting conditions the image may appear in strange shades. If that occurs you may change the white balance setting by specifying a lighting condition (temperature) most appropriate for your scene. The ISO speed defines light sensitivity. The ISO higher the ISO number is, the more sensitive it is to light. When recording under dark situations or recording a fast-moving subject, use a high-number setting. When recording high-quality images, use a low-number setting. You can stamp the date on the bottom left of Date imprint your still images.
