Auto Flash - The flash fires automatically as needed. Use this  
setting to take most pictures.  
Flash On - The flash fires for every picture. Use this setting in  
high-contrast situations to provide fill-light or use it indoors in  
low light.  
Flash Off - The flash does not fire. Use this setting for outdoor  
pictures, or where flash is prohibited or may be distracting, or  
when shooting toward a reflective surface, such as a window or  
mirror. If there is not enough light when using this setting, your  
pictures will be too dark.  
In Auto flash and Flash on modes, the camera fires a brief, preflash flash  
before the regular flash to avoid red glare in your subject’s eyes. Please  
hold the camera steady until the second flash has finished; otherwise you  
will get blured images.  
NOTE:  
Flash is not available in Video mode.  
Never touch or block the flash with your fingers. Doing so can soil these  
components and interfere with the correct flash operation.

of the picture. Digital zoom applies to only one photo at a time. To Zoom  
in and out, press the Zoom in and Zoom out buttons respectively.

• Setting the Image Resolution  
Picture resolution refers to the number of pixels in a digital photo. The  
higher the resolution, the more pixels in your photo and the more memory  
the photo uses. A higher resolution produces a higher quality digital photo  
when printed.  
To select an image resolution in image size setting:  
Turn the Mode dial to , then turn on the camera.  
Press  
Press  
Press  
The following is the approximate number of  
pictures you can expect the camera to hold at each  
setting based on the 16MB internal memory. You  
can expand the memory with a SMC card, please  
refer to SMC Card Storage Capacities on page 46  
for further details.  
F (Fine) 2048 X 1536:  
approximately 9 pictures  
N (Normal) 1600 X 1200: approximately 25 pictures  
E (Economy) 1280 X 960: approximately 27 pictures  
L (Low) 800 X 600: approximately 101 pictures  
NOTE:  
Scene complexity affects a picture’s file size. For example, the file size of a  
picture with trees in autumn is larger than that of the blue sky at the same  
resolution and quality setting. Therefore, the number of pictures you can  
store in the camera internal memory or on a memory card may vary. The  
number of pictures on the LCD screen is for reference only.

day.  
• When shooting under very dark or very bright conditions, you may not  
be able to obtain satisfactory results even after performing exposure  
compensation.

6 Using SMC Card  
IMPORTANT!  
Files contained in the card may conflict with the PDC 3035 camera, valuable  
data in your existing SMC card may be distorted or lost when the card  
is inserted in the PDC 3035 camera. We strongly recommend the user to  
use a NEW or formatted SMC card for the PDC 3035 camera. We will not  
guarantee any data or formatted files other than PDC 3035 camera’s in your  
SMC card.  
• Using the SMC Card  
Your camera comes with a 16MB built-in Nand flash memory for storing  
pictures and video clips. You can expand the memory using a commercially  
available SMC card (up to 128MB). The camera senses whether a  
memory card is inserted, and automatically saves pictures and video clips  
accordingly. Note that you cannot save pictures and video clips to the  
built-in Nand flash memory or delete pictures and video clips from the  
built-in Nand flash memory, while a memory card is installed in the camera.  
Memory Card Precautions  
1. Use only a SMC memory card with this camera. Proper operation is not  
guaranteed when any other type of cards is used.  
2. Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause  
data corruption or even loss. Always make sure that you always back up  
important data on other media (MO disc, computer hard drive, etc.).  
3. If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can restore normal  
operation by formatting it. However, we recommend that you always  
take along with more than one memory card whenever using the  
camera far away from the home or offi ce.  
4. We recommend that you format a memory card before using it for the  
first time after purchasing it, or whenever the card you are using seems  
to be the cause of abnormal pictures. Remember to format a memory  
card if it was used in another digital camera or other devices.

IMPORTANT!  
The camera must be turned off before inserting or removing a memory  
card.  
• Be sure to orient the card correctly when inserting it. Never try to force a  
memory card into the slot when you feel resistance.  
Inserting a SMC Card (not included)  
Turn off the camera and open the SMC card door as illustrated. Insert  
the SMC card ensuring the card is inserted correctly as illustrated. On the  
inner side of the SMC card slot, there is a diagram showing the proper  
insertion orientation.  
Removing a SMC Card (not included)  
To remove the SMC card, turn off your camera, then open the SMC card  
door and gently push the SMC card to eject it.

• Formatting a SMC Card or the Internal Memory

Press  
IMPORTANT!  
• Formatting the internal memory or a SMC card erases  
all the pictures and video clips, including protected  
data. Removing the SMC card during formatting may  
damage the card.  
• You can format a memory card on the camera or on  
a computer. However formatting a memory card on a  
computer takes much longer.  
• Note that data deleted by formatting operation cannot  
be recovered. Make sure you have no useful data  
stored on a memory card before formatting it.

• Using Your Batteries  
IMPORTANT NOTE:  
A fresh alkaline battery provides an output voltage of 1.5V whereas a  
rechargeable battery available in retail stores generally has a lower output  
1.2V. In order to maximize the performance of your PDC 3035 camera, we  
recommend that you do not use rechargeable batteries.  
WARNINGS!  
• Batteries should be replaced by an adult.  
• Do not mix different types of batteries or new and used batteries.  
• Use recommended or equivalent type of batteries only.  
• Insert the batteries with the correct polarity.  
• Remove exhausted batteries from the camera immediately.  
• Do not short the supply terminals.  
• Do not dispose the batteries in fire.  
• Remove batteries from the camera when not in use.  
• Rechargeable batteries are not recommended.  
These instructions should be retained for future reference.

Scene complexity affects a picture’s file size. For example, the file size  
of a picture of trees in autumn is larger than that of blue sky at the same  
resolution and quality setting. Therefore, the number of pictures you can  
store on a card may vary.
