Do not use manganese batteries.
❙
Replace all four batteries at the same time.
❙
Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, or mutilate batteries. Do not
get them wet or expose them to fire.
❙
When the camera is not used for long periods of time, remove the
batteries and store them at a low temperature in a dry location.
❙
Dispose of used batteries according to the battery manufacturer’s
instructions and in compliance with all applicable laws. Contact
your local government agency for information about battery
recycling and disposal.

discharge them completely before recharging.

Taking Pictures with PhotoPC
Turning the Camera On and Off
To turn the camera on, simply slide the power switch to the ON position.
The lens cover opens and the control panel on the top of the camera
lights up. The green standby light on the back of the camera flashes for a
few seconds. When it stops flashing and stays fully lit, the camera is
ready to take pictures.
Slide the power switch to the OFF position to turn off the camera. The
lens cover closes and the control panel turns off.
Auto Shut-off
If you wait more than 60 seconds before taking a picture, the camera
turns off automatically to save battery power. To turn the camera back
on, slide the power switch OFF, and then ON. Or press the shutter
button. You will have to press the shutter button again to take a picture.
If you want, you can change the 60-second time period for auto shut-off.
For more information, see page 5-3.
The EasyTouch™ Control Panel
The control panel keeps track of how many pictures you’ve taken and
gives you important information about the status of your battery and
various settings you’re using.

Checking the Battery Icon
Before you take pictures, check the battery icon on the control panel.
The icon shows how much battery power you have left, in the following
four stages:
Full battery power (or AC adapter in use)
Battery power is decreasing
Battery power is almost out
Change batteries
The battery icon is not precise, so you should use it only as a guide to
remaining power. Note that several factors can affect battery life,
including the surrounding temperature and the type of batteries you use.
Low temperatures (especially below 50° F) will weaken your batteries.
See page 1-2 for information about changing batteries.
Snapping the Shutter
Follow these steps to take a picture:
1
Turn the camera on and wait until the green standby light stops
flashing.
2
Look straight through the viewfinder and center your subject.
3
Slowly press the shutter button.
4
Hold the camera still until the standby light starts flashing and the
camera beeps.
The flashing light indicates that the image is captured and the camera is
processing it. (If you try to press the shutter button again, you’ll hear an
“error” beep.) When the light stops flashing, the image is saved. Saved
images remain in memory for up to a year, even when the camera is
turned off and the batteries are removed.
You can take another picture when the standby light stops flashing. If the
light flashes longer each time you take a picture, your batteries are
becoming weaker.

Picture-taking Range
You should be at least 2 feet (60 cm) away from the subject you are
photographing. If you want to take pictures at a closer range, you should
use a 37 mm video camcorder close-up lens. See page A-5 for
instructions.
However, if you use a close-up or “macro” lens, the viewfinder will not
give you an accurate image of your picture. You may want to connect
the camera to your computer and view your close-up images on the
screen before you capture them. See page 5-6 for information on
viewing and taking pictures from your computer.
You can take flash pictures within a range of 3 to 10 feet, as described on
page 2-5.
TIP
When you’re taking pictures outdoors, make sure the sun is at your back.
In very bright light (at the beach or in snow, for example) your pictures
may come out too light. You can use an ND filter to reduce the amount of
light. See page 6-4 for more information.
Adjusting Settings
You can adjust the following three settings on PhotoPC using the
EasyTouch control buttons on the top of
the camera:
❙
Flash
❙
Resolution
❙
Timer.
All control button settings (except the timer) remain in effect even after
you turn off the camera.
NOTE
The controls return to their factory settings when you remove or change
the batteries.

Flash
PhotoPC’s built-in flash has three settings as listed below, which are
effective within a range of 3 to 10 feet. Press the flash control button to
cycle from one setting to another. The settings appear on the control
panel as shown.
Auto
The flash goes off automatically whenever it’s needed for
adequate lighting (factory setting).
Forced Flash
The flash goes off with every picture you take. Use this setting
to compensate for backlighting; for example, when you are
facing the sun.
Flash Off
The flash is disabled, even when adequate lighting is not
available. Use this setting for special effects, or where flash
photography is prohibited.
