TRUST 1290Z POWERC@M OPTICAL ZOOM 

Preparing the camera for use 

Inserting and removing the batteries 

Follow the instructions given below to insert or remove the batteries 

N.B.: 

make sure the camera is turned off. 

Open the battery cover and insert the batteries into the battery compartment as 
indicated on the inside of the battery cover. Close the battery cover. 
When the battery voltage begins to fall the battery indicator ( ) will be shown in the 
LCD display. Replace the batteries in time.  

N.B.:

 

the camera case will become warm during use. This is normal.  

N.B.:

 

after inserting or replacing the batteries you will need to reset the date 
and the time (see Section 7.2)  

N.B.: 

turn off the LCD display to prolong the life of the batteries. 

Battery life: It is preferable to use Ni-MH batteries rather than Alkaline batteries in 
digital cameras. Trust’s product range includes a variety of Ni-MH battery chargers. 
(please refer to www.trust.com/battery-chargers) 

Inserting the memory 

A memory card is supplied with this camera. You can save a number of photos on 
this card. We recommend the purchase of a memory card with a larger capacity. This 
will enable you to save more photographs (Table 2). 
Memory cards can be purchased from, for example, a photography store.

N.B.:

 

to avoid damage to the memory card or the camera, turn the 
camera off before inserting or removing the memory card.  

N.B.:

 

do not remove the memory card when the indicator is flashing. 

Follow the instructions given below to insert the memory card. 
Open the memory-card cover (21, Figure 1d) and insert the memory card as 
indicated in the holder. Press the memory card into the slot until it clicks in place. 
Remove the memory card by pushing it to release the lock. Remove the memory 
card. 

N.B.: 

the memory card fits only in one way in the camera. Do not force the 
card into the slot. This can damage both the memory card and the 
camera. 

The external memory card needs to be formatted for optimum use. See Section 6.1. 

N.B.: 

never remove the memory card while the camera is processing data. 
(the green indicator is flashing (14, Figure 1c). This can result in the 
loss of data, or defects.
