FAQ  
Q1: If I do not use batteries, can I use an USB cord and Adaptor and still take pictures  
with my digital camera?  
A1: No, when taking pictures, it is important that you use batteries. Also, you have to  
remember to charge the batteries before operating your camera. (If using rechargeable  
batteries)  
Q2: I am not very familiar with digital cameras and usually my pictures turn out blurred.  
Is there any way I can better focus my camera?  
A2: Yes, please locate the Macro Switch on the camera lens. Switch it to the Landscape (  
)
setting unless taking close-up pictures in which case, you must switch to the Macro (  
setting.  
)
Note: If the pointer is found anywhere in between these two symbols, it will adversely affect  
the focus. Also, ensuring there is enough lighting and that your hands are steady for one  
second after you press the Shutter Button will help with the focus.  
Q3: I have noticed that the pictures I have taken are all very dark. How can I make  
these pictures lighter? Should I use the flash often?  
A3: Avoid taking pictures in places with little lighting. When it is cloudy, please use other means  
to create more light before taking pictures. We recommend using the flash function during  
night time. During the day, the flash may be too strong and the picture may come out too bright,  
thus use it only during the night.  
Q4: After I am done taking a picture, it takes a while for the picture to come up on the  
TFT panel. Is there something wrong with my camera?  
A4: No, with the camera, if you select a larger picture size, it will take longer for it to come up  
on the TFT panel. So if you want to speed things up, please select a smaller picture size. (S  
picture size is recommended)
