3. 

Once  they  are  downloaded  to  the  PC  view  them  using  QuickTime  and 
Windows Media Player.

As the internal memory of the camera is limited it should be used for test 
files only. 

5. 

Please insert an SD memory card of up to 8 GB for normal use. 

6.

In  Video  mode  there  are  three  video  resolutions  for  you  to  choose  from  before 
capturing your video. The higher the resolution selected the better the quality of the 
video, however higher quality videos use up more memory. 
 

To enter the Setup options for the Video mode press the OK button.  

The different modes are explained in detail below.
