TURNING THE CAMERA ON/OFF

To turn the camera on,
Slide the switch at the bottom of the camera to ON.
The LED indicator light will blink a few times, and then remain steady. The camera is now ready to take pictures.
When you have finished taking pictures, be sure to slide the switch to OFF. Keep the camera OFF when you are
not using it.

LED INDICATOR

The LED indicator light tells you the status of your camera:
If blinking quickly, it's searching for the correct exposure. You should not take a picture if it is blinking quickly.
If on steadily, your camera is now ready to take a picture.
If blinking slowly, the camera memory is full, and you cannot take any more pictures.
If the LED indicator does not come on, or if it blinks quickly for a few seconds and then turns off, the battery
needs to be replaced.
