Use only 1.5V AAA Alkaline or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. Don’t use any other type of
Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are recommended. To maximize performance and lifetime, we
recommend that you fully charge the batteries and discharge them for at least one complete
cycle before use.
Remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for an extended period of time.
To keep Rechargeable batteries at optimal conditions, do not recharge before fully drained.
If you will not be using the batteries for an extended period of time, remove them from the
camera to prevent leakage or corrosion, and don’t dispose them in fire.
Never use batteries of different types (together) or mix old and new batteries.
NOTES ON BATTERY USAGE
The batteries may leak and cause a fire, injury or soiling of the battery compartment. If the
batteries leak, clean and wipe the battery compartment carefully and install new batteries. Wash
your hands carefully if you touch the battery fluid.
Avoid using batteries in extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten the
battery life and reduce digital camera performance. Low temperature will adversely affect
alkaline battery performance.
When batteries are removed, internal memory will only last for approximately 3 minutes. To
avoid lost of records, please replace batteries swiftly.
Card Preference:
When External Memory Card is inserted, the images will automatically be stored on the Memory
Card in preference to the Internal Memory and records stored in Internal Memory will not be
accessible until the External Memory Card is removed.
During charging the flash, the SHUTTER button is locked.

About FLASH Photography
The built-in flash has a maximum effective range of 2 meters and it is not meant to be used in
very dark environments.
The flash works best as complementary light source for capturing images under shades, dim
room lights or shooting against moderate light source.
When using the flash, avoid shooting directly against strong light source. It may cause
extremely abnormal exposures.
Do not fire the flash close to anyone’s eye.
Screen will turn black for 5 to 8 seconds while charging for the flash.
When battery level is low, Camera will beep and refuse to charge the flash. However, other
functions can still be performed until battery is fully drained.
The product includes approximately 16 MB of “built-in” internal storage memory. You may wish
to expand the memory capacity of your camera using a SD memory card.
