Getting Started  
Before you start taking digital pictures with your camera, insert the (AA-size Alkaline)  
batteries. When you use your camera as a video camera for your PC, you wont need  
batteries. The camera absorbs power from your computer through the USB port.  
Inserting Batteries  
1. On the bottom of the camera, slide the  
battery door in the direction indicated by  
the arrow to open it.  
2. Insert two (2) AA-size batteries as indicated  
on the inner side of the battery door.  
3. Close the battery door and turn on the  
camera.  
If you are using new batteries with your  
camera, the Battery Power icon on the LCD  
panel will be fully shaded.  
After using the camera for some time and the  
battery power becomes low, only the lower  
portion of the Battery Power icon will appear  
shaded. This indicates that the batteries are  
weak and need to be replaced.  
Note  
Insert the batteries in the correct positive  
and negative  
polarities.  
Remove the batteries if the camera is not used for an extended period of time to  
prevent leaks or corrosion.  
Never use manganese batteries.  
Never mix old and new batteries.  
Low temperatures (under 0°C or 32°F) reduce the output efficiency of batteries,  
thereby shortening the operation time of the camera.  
The recommended battery is AA size alkaline battery.  
When discarding the batteries, cover the positive  
and negative  
terminals with  
adhesive tapes.  
11-EN

Using your Camera as a PC-Camera (WebCam)  
Aside from taking pictures, you can also use your camera as a PC-Camera (WebCam).  
Using your camera as a PC-camera (WebCam) with Microsoft Netmeeting:  
1. Make sure you have installed the Dual  
Mode USB camera driver (refer to page  
18).  
2. Connect a USB cable to the camera and to  
your PCs USB port.  
3. Press the Power button to turn on the  
camera.  
4. Set the camera to PC mode.  
5. Launch your PC-Camera (WebCam)  
Application Software.  
6. Follow the instructions of the software.  
7. After finishing, be sure to turn off your PC  
first, then disconnect the USB cable from  
the camera and PC.  
Note  
No PC-Camera (WebCam) Application Software is included in the CD-ROM. Please  
use a commercially available videoconferencing program such as Microsoft  
Netmeeting. To use the camera for videoconference via the Internet or LAN  
connection, you also need a networking device such as a modem or TA (Terminal  
Adapter), as well as speakers and a microphone.  
For more information about the operation of videoconference application software,  
please refer to its respective software help.  
When the camera is attached to your computer, only the power and  
Mode/Menu  
buttons can be used.  
If the camera does not work properly after connecting to a PC, remove the batteries  
once and insert them back into the camera, then try again.
