Brief Description Your digital camera with color LCD display is similar to the size of a credit card - only 14 mm thick. The camera’s portability and convenience are enabled by its “worry free” rechargeable battery, simple user interface, and easy image download when you connect the camera to a PC with the supplied USB Docking Station.
Capturing good pictures • Hold the camera steadily. • Under dimmer environment, the camera needs longer time to capture a picture. • Make sure your fingers will not block the lens and flash.
