Inserting the Battery
We highly recommend using specified rechargeable lithium-ion battery (3.7V) to realize the full capability of the
camera. Charge the battery fully before using the camera. Make sure that the power of the camera is off before
inserting or removing the battery.

Tilt the battery lock lever, and then insert the battery in the direction of the arrow.

Inserting the SD memory card
The camera comes with approx. 32 MB of internal memory (26 MB available for image storage), allowing you to store
captured still images or video clips in the camera. However, you can also expand the memory capacity by using an
optional SD memory card so that you can store more files.
1. Open the battery / SD memory card cover.
2. Insert the SD memory card in the correct orientation shown.
Hold the SD memory card with its front side (printed arrow) facing the rear side of
the camera, and then insert the card as far as it can go.
