picture, or if you later may want to crop or cut out specific areas in the picture.
Soft Softens the edges of the picture, creating a “soft focus” effect.
• Setting Image Size
Picture quality depends on both its resolution and the JPEG file compression that the camera applies when
the picture is taken. Higher resolution and less compression make better quality which occupies more
memory space. Smaller size pictures with normal quality are easier to email while larger size with fine
quality are better for printing.
Set the Capture/Playback selector to Capture mode. Open the LCD panel, then turn on the camera. Use the
Image size setting to select a picture resolution.
Press
OK

High : 1600X1200; approximately 20 pictures
Middle : 1280X960; approximately 30 pictures
Low : 640X480; approximately 98 pictures
Note
Scene complexity affects a picture’s le size. For example, the le size of a picture with trees in autumn is larger than that of the blue sky at
the same resolution and quality setting. Therefore, the number of pictures you can store in the SD card may vary. The number of pictures on the
LCD screen is for reference only.

6 Using the SD Card
• Using the SD (Secure Digital) Card
Your camera comes with approximately 8MB of built-in flash memory for storing pictures, video and audio
clips. You can expand the memory using a commercially available SD card (up to 256MB). The camera
senses whether a memory card is inserted, and automatically saves pictures accordingly. Note that you
cannot save pictures to the built-in flash memory while a memory card is installed in the camera.
IMPORTANT!
• Make sure you turn off the camera before inserting or removing a memory card.
• Be sure to orient the card correctly when inserting it. Never try to force a memory card into the slot when you feel resistance.
• SD memory cards have a write protect switch that you can use to protect les from accidental deletion. However, you must remove the write
protection whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete its les.
• Files contained in the SD card recorded by other cameras may conict with the eMovie2 camera, and valuable data in your
existing SD card may be distorted or lost when the card is inserted in the eMovie2 camera. We strongly recommend the user to
use a NEW or formatted SD card for the eMovie2 camera. We will not guarantee any valuable data or les (other than eMovie2
camera’s) in your SD card.
