Note:

• A “low battery” warning will show up on the screen when the battery charge is insufficient. Shortly thereafter your camera will power off.
• Please remove the battery if you are not going to use the camera for a while in order to extend its life time.

Lithium Battery Charging

To recharge the lithium battery, simply connect the camera (without removing the battery) to your computer using the USB cable provided in the box. The red LED on the back of the camera will light up to indicate that the battery is being charged, and will turn off when fully charged. You can also charge the lithium battery by connecting the camera to AC power if you have an adapter to which you can connect the USB cable.

SD Memory Card Installation

This camera supports SD memory card up to 32 GB. It is necessary to insert a SD card into the camera before using it to extend its storage capacity. To remove the card, simply press it firmly and the card will eject itself from the slot.
Please refer to the below diagram for correct installation:

1. Slide the battery cover below the camera to open the battery compartment and access the memory card slot.

2. Insert the memory card by gently sliding it in the correct polarity direction and until it clicks (the card top should be flushed with the battery one).

Note:

• The internal memory can only store a few photos for test purposes. It is recommended to download them on a computer if you want to keep it, otherwise they could be lost when the camera automatically shuts down because its charge is low or when you remove away the battery.
• If there is a photo stored in the internal memory when you insert a card into your camera, a “Copy to card” message will show up on the LCD screen with “Yes” or “No” options. By selecting “Yes”, the photo will be then copied to the card.
• Formatting will delete all data stored on the memory card including those which are protected.
• Do not remove the SD card during formatting as this may damage the card and render it unusable.

Q: I have taken photos but my computer does not recognize my camera. What do I do?
A: First of all, make sure you took photos. Take a few photos as a test, and then try downloading them to your computer by connecting it to the camera with the USB cable. Alternatively, you can insert the memory card directly into your computer card slot if your computer has one, or use an external card slot that can be connected to your computer USB port. If you still get a “No photos in camera” message on your computer, check that it meets the minimum requirements as indicated at the beginning of this instruction manual.

Q: How to be sure that I have not lost any important photos?
A: As all files are stored on the SD card inserted in your camera, make sure there is always enough space on the card for you to take pictures. It is recommended that you insert a memory card up to 32 GB and regularly transfer the files stored on the memory card to your computer to free up more memory. This will also be the backup data when you have lost or damaged the SD card. The test photos are stored in the limited RAM of the SD card but if the camera has insufficient power or is out of power, all the test photos will be lost.

Q: Will the device work normally if I use a Mac computer?
A: The device can be used as a removable disk on Mac OSX (10.5.x or higher version).
