Operation
Notes:
• We do not recommend using Ni-Cd
rechargeable batteries. They discharge
power quickly and might result in unex-
pected loss of the pictures.
• When you use the USB cable to connect
the camera to a computer and the com-
puter is turned on, the computer sup-
plies power to the camera and the
batteries are disconnected.
• In low temperatures (below 32
°
F), bat-
tery efficiency lowers and camera oper-
ation time is reduced. When using the
camera in cold environments, keep it
warm by covering it when not in use.
SETTING THE RESOLUTION
The camera is automatically set to take a
high-resolution picture (640
×
480 pixels).
You can take up to 26 high-resolution pic-
tures, or up to 107 low-resolution pictures
(320
×
240 pixels).
Notes:
• Your camera works best if you set it to
the same resolution while taking and
downloading pictures.
• 107 low-resolution pictures are initially
available; however, the display can only
show 2 characters.

appears until the
first 9 pictures (107 to 99) are used.
• The actual number of pictures you can
take depends on the complexity of the
subject matter. Pictures with little detail
take up less memory than pictures with
a lot of detail. You might occasionally
notice the display reducing by more than
1 when taking pictures with a lot of detail
(memory).
