Using Your Digital Camera 

Make sure the batteries have been inserted properly into your digital camera. If your camera 

comes with a rechargeable lithium battery, make sure it is fully charged before the first use.   

 

Powering the camera ON 

Press the Power button 

  to turn your camera ON. The camera will be in Photo Capture mode 

to start. 

 

 
Powering the camera OFF 

While the camera is on, you can press the Power button 

    again at any point to turn your 

camera OFF. You will see a “Goodbye” splash screen and then the camera will power off 

completely.   

Note:

 your digital camera also has an Auto Power Off feature that will automatically turn off your 

camera after a specific period of time that your camera is left idle. The Auto Power Off settings 

can be set from the Auto Power Off settings menu. 

 

 

Changing Camera Mode   

Your camera has three main modes: 

1) 

Photo Capture Mode - 

Use this mode to capture photos with your camera.

 

2) 

Video Capture Mode - 

Use this mode to capture videos with your camera. 

3) 

Playback Mode (for photos and videos) - 

Use this mode to view the photos and videos 

you have already taken with your camera. 

 

When the camera is first powered ON, the Photo Capture Mode will be active. The icons that 

appear on the LCD screen are the best default settings so that you can begin to capture and 

enjoy clear quality photos.
