SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Camera notes:

Do not store or use the camera in the following types of

locations:

• In the rain, very humid and dusty places.

• In a place where the camera can be exposed directly to

the sunlight or subject to high temperature, e.g. Inside a

closed car in summer.

• In a place where the camera is subject to a high

magnetic ﬁeld, e.g. near motors, transformers or

magnets.

Do not place the camera on a wet surface or places where

dripping water or sand may come in contact with the

camera, which may cause irrepairable faults.

If the camera will not be used for a long period of time, we

suggest you remove the battery and the memory card from

the camera and keep them in dry environment.

If you carry the camera suddenly from a cold location to a

warm place, moisture may condense inside the camera. We

suggest you wait for a while before turing on the camera.

If water has gotten inside the camera, turn off the camera

and remove the battery and memory card. Allow to air-dry

for at least 24 hours before using the camera again.

If camera overheats, while in use or charging, disconnect

charger and carefully remove batteries

Battery notes:

Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak,

become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the precautions

given below.

• Do not expose the batteries to water, and take

particular care to keep the terminals dry.

• Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a ﬁre.

• Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the

batteries.

Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small

children.

In cold locations, battery performance deteriorates and the

time for which they can be used shortens markedly.

Memory card notes:

When using a new memory card, or a memory card has

been initialized by a PC, be sure to format the card with

your digital camera before using it.

To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC’s hard

disk ﬁrst.

Do not change or delete the folder names or ﬁle names

in the memory card from your PC, as this may make it

impossible to recognize or misinterpret the original folder

or ﬁle in your camera.

The photos taken by this camera are stored in the auto-

generated folder in SD card. Please do not store photos

that are not taken by this model of camera, as this may

make it impossible to recognize the picture when the

camera is in playback mode. Please do not expose the

camera to harsh environments such as moisture or extreme

temperatures, which may shorten the life of your camera or

damage the batteries.

Do not remove memory card without turning the digital

camera off to avoid possible damage of your memory card.

Do not switch off the digital camera when a writing process

is on to avoid incomplete data writing and damaged pictures.

Align memory card correctly before inserting. Do not force

memory card into slot.

Pictures at higher ISO will naturally have more noise than

those at lower ISO.

800, 1600 and 3200.

The available ISO values vary on different camera

Quality

The quality setting adjusts the compression ratio of the

images. Higher quality settings give better photos, but will

take up more memory space.

There are three options for picture quality:

• : Quality: Best

• : Quality: Fine

• : Quality: Normal

Size

The size setting refers to the image resolution in pixels.

A higher image resolution allows you to print that image in

larger sizes without degrading the image quality.

The bigger the number of recorded pixels is, the

better the image quality becomes. As the number of

recorded pixels becomes smaller, you will be able to

record more images on a memory card.

Color

The color setting allows you to add artistic effects directly

when taking pictures. You can try different color tones to

alter the mood of your pictures.

The color options include:
