user interaction.
1.  
Insert the batteries (p.15). Insert the batteries 
taking note of the polarity (+ / -).

has a 10MB internal memory, you do not need

the internal memory. If the memory card 
is inserted, an image will be stored on the 
memory card.
3.  Close the battery chamber cover.
4.  Press the power button to turn on the 
camera. (If the date/ time that is displayed on the LCD monitor is 
incorrect, reset the date/ time before taking a picture.)

using the LCD monitor.
7.  Press the shutter button to capture an image.

If the auto focus frame turns to red when you press the shutter 
button down half way, it means that the camera cannot focus on the 
subject. Should this be the case, the camera is unable to capture 
an image clearly.
Avoid obstructing the lens or the fl ash when you capture an image.
