TIPS
●
Press the shutter button gently using the ball of your finger. If the button is
pressed hard, the camera may move and pictures may come out blurred.
●
Recorded pictures will be saved on the card regardless of whether the
camera is turned off or the batteries are replaced or removed.
●
Never open the card cover, eject the card, remove the batteries, or
disconnect an AC adapter when the card access lamp is blinking. Doing so
could destroy stored pictures and prevent storage of pictures you have just
taken.
