rechargeable, or NiCD batteries.

2. Insert the SmartMedia™ Memory Card. Open the door to the left of the lens barrier on the front

of the camera and slide the card into the slot as indicated on the door. This card is your "film."

It stores your images for reviewing, downloading and printing. To remove, gently pull the card out.

3. Turn on the power by sliding the lens barrier open. Icons representing default camera settings

appear in the top LCD, along with the number of pictures available at the preset memor y settings.
