CAMERA PARTS
Setup and Basic Operation
1. the camera is powered by two AAA alkaline, lithium, or NiMh batteries (not
included). insert batteries into the compartment, with the springs in contact with
the negative (flat) end of each battery. A power meter on the left center of the
display indicates battery condition.
2. insert an SD card ("upside down" with metal contacts facing up) in the slot if greater
storage is desired. You may use SD cards (not MMC cards) up to 8 GB capacity. As
the camera has no internal memory, it cannot be operated without an SD card. if
no card is inserted and the power button is pressed, the display indicates “NSd” (no
SD)
(see “Parts Guide”)
, the memory card icon blinks, and the camera shuts down. if
this happens, insert a card, then power on again.
3. Press and hold the MODE button until the camera turns on. the camera will turn
off automatically after about one minute if no buttons are pressed.
Note: when the
camera is connected to a computer via the supplied USB cable, the camera will power
on automatically, and draw power from the computer with no battery drain.
4. Hold the imageView steady and press SNAP to take a picture (or start/stop
shooting a video, when the camera is in video mode). the camera focus is preset
to take sharp photos from appoximately 35 feet to infinity.
5. When using a tripod, you can help avoid the effects of camera shake by plugging
the supplied remote shutter release into the jack next to the SD card slot, and
using the button on the remote rather than SNAP to take photos.
