HOW TO USE THE DIGITAL CAMERA
The Snapper 8.0 Digital Camera – A Quick Start:
1.
Charge Battery – The high capacity Lithium-ion battery usually comes half-
charged. Always give it a full charge before using. Open the battery compartment
of the camera by sliding the cover in the direction of the arrow and remove the
battery by moving the latch away. Be careful not to drop the battery, as sudden
impact may damage its casing and it’s interior. With the two battery contacts
facing down, insert the battery fully into the Charger. Connect the power cord
from the AC Adapter to the Charger, and then plug the AC Adapter into a wall
socket. The green light on the AC Adapter comes on to indicate there is power,
and the red light on the Charger comes on during charging and turns to green
when the battery is fully charged. Usually, the Lithium-ion battery does not reach
its full capacity until a few charges later. It does not develop “memory” problem
like the NiCad rechargeable battery, so do not hesitate to charge it even if it is
only partially discharged. To remove the battery from the Charger, depress the
latch at the end and slide the battery complete out. Insert the battery into the
camera with its contact away from the LCD. Push it completely into the camera
until the latch locks it in place.
2.
SD Memory Card – The camera comes with 16MB of internal memory and its
storage capacity can be increased by adding a SD memory card up to 1GB. To
install a SD Card, first turn off the camera. Open the battery compartment and
insert the SD card into the slot with the connector side facing towards the LCD.
Insert it fully until it clicks and locks. To remove the SD card, push the card
inward and then release. It will spring out so it can be grabbed and removed.
Never insert or remove the SD card while the camera is on.
3.
