1. Press the
button repeatedly to switch between flash modes. The
selected flash mode icon will appear on the LCD monitor.

About the Red-eye Reduction Function
Shooting with flash in dark places, the subject’s eyes may appear red in the picture. This phenomenon
is known as “Red-Eye” and occurs when flash reflects back from the retina.
When shooting with the red-eye reduction function, the subjects must look right at the flash for
this mode to be effective. Try asking them to look directly at the flash. Even better results can be
obtained by shooting with the lens set to a wide angle, by increasing the lighting indoor settings, or by
approaching closer to the subject.
SELECTING THE METERING MODE
The camera enables you to select the metering mode to suit the shooting conditions and purpose.
Multi-pattern metering:
The image is divided into multiple regions and metering is performed for each region. The camera
judges the subject position and background brightness, and determines a well-balanced exposure.
Spot metering:
The camera meters the light within the AF frame.

Folder File Capacity
Each folder usually contains up to 9999 images. If a photo is taken when the folder with highest folder
number contains a picture file number equal to or greater than 9999, the camera creates a new folder
by adding one to the current folder number. For example, if the current folder is “100DICAM” the new
folder is named “101DICAM.”
If the highest folder number is 999 and the highest file number exceeds 9999, the camera will display
the warning message “Folder Can Not Be Created.” In this case, please set the File Number Reset to
ON mode and then format the memory or insert a new memory card.
FILE NUMBER RESET
Use File Number Reset if the camera experiences a ““FILE NUMBER OVER” error or if you want to
restart numbering, for example, after erasing all files.
The file number will start from 0001 each time a new SD card is inserted or after the

USING THE ULEAD PHOTO EXPLORER 8 SE BASIC - FOR WINDOWS 98SE/2000/
ME/XP
Photo Explorer is a handy Web-enabled program for quickly viewing any multimedia file (such as
image, animated GIF, video, or sound) in your computer. Operating very much like the Windows
Explorer, Photo Explorer displays all your folders and files in a tree-like structure. Selecting a folder
from this tree structure displays the image and graphics files in visual thumbnails. This provides the
advantage of finding images visually rather than remembering file names when you want to open,
delete, move, or copy files. You can take advantage of drag-and-drop technology when you want to
insert a file into another application. Refer to the application help documentation for information on
using the software.
To start this program, click Start > Program > Ulead Photo Explorer 8 SE Basic

Ulead VideoStudio is a consumer video editing software that lets users quickly and easily produce
their own home videos complete with attractive titles, video filters, transitions, and sound. Unlike other

right away. Once you have completed your video projects, you can share them on tape, e-mail, the
Web or burn your own high-quality VCDs.
