1) NORMAL will save as JPG image format (recommended).

larger than JPG but will open on any Windows computer.

mode is selected, setup to take a normal picture, but hold
down on the shutter button. Once the shot is snapped, it will
begin to record a sound clip to go with the image. Release
the button when finish recording. If you just click the shutter
button, the camera will default to a 5-sec. message. (See
Viewing Images for retrieving sound clips.)
4) E-MAIL will record two images, one normal and one small
for easy e-mailing. It will save the second image in a special
E-mail folder, but will not create a new message! (See
Viewing Images)
