NOTE Safety while taking pictures Do not use the camera while you are walking, running, driving or operating machinery. Doing so can result in a serious accident. 8 About Autobrite® technology The camera offers the benefits of a technology known as Autobrite. This technology automatically adjusts the exposure and captures crisp details in scenes where both dim and bright lighting conditions are present, such as glare or backlighting. Most existing digital cameras produce washed out or silhouetted images under such conditions. We suggest you try to avoid taking pictures pointing directly at bright objects (such as the sun), due to the potential impact of extremely bright lighting on image quality and lens flare. LOW LIGHT LOCK-OUT Low light lock-out is a feature that prevents the camera from taking pictures in low light settings when the flash is not ready. When low light lock-out is enabled, the camera will give a warning beep ­ even if the sound is off. To override low light lockout, continue holding the Shutter button for 1 second after the warning beep. Turn the camera on and switch the Picture-Taking Mode/Playback Mode to Playback. Use the Up / Down arrow buttons to select "Yes" to delete the image or "No" to save the image. To resume taking pictures move the mode selection switch to the left to Picturetaking mode. To delete all the images on the camera: · Follow steps 1-4 above and select "Delete All" at step 2. FORMATTING INTERNAL FLASH MEMORY OR SD CARD To format internal flash memory or SD card: WARNING Formatting an SD card or flash memory will delete all information. Turn the camera on and switch the Picture-Taking Mode/ Playback Mode to Playback. Press the Menu button and use the Up / Down arrow buttons to Select Format.
