1 Brief Description
Your 3-megapixel digital camera with color LCD display is roughly the size of a credit card -
only 13 mm thick. The camera’s portability and convenience are enabled by its “worry free”
rechargeable battery, simple user interface, and easy image download when you connect the
camera to a PC with the supplied USB Docking station.

2 Before Using Your Camera
To ensure that you use your camera correctly, read the Safety Notes in section 8 and the rest
of this user’s manual carefully.
Holding the camera correctly
Due to the extremely compact size and light weight of the camera, it is critical that you hold
the camera securely in order to avoid “camera shake”. The camera is particularly sensitive to
“shake” in low light environments. Taking a picture in low light requires a longer exposure
time for the image to be captured and any movement during this time might cause a blurred
image.
When taking a photo in low light the flash may trigger. Before this happens, try to avoid
gripping the camera with your fingers placed on the front face of the camera. Instead, hold
the camera on its edges so that the light of the flash does not reflect off your finger(s) and
cause lens flare.
Test photos
Before you capture your first images, we recommend you take some test photos to make sure
that the camera is working properly. This will also help you become comfortable holding the
camera in order to capture satisfactory images.
