• When you take a picture, hold the camera with both
hands and brace your elbows against your sides.
• Be careful not to touch the lens surface when you
press the shutter button.
• When you press the shutter button fully, press it
lightly.
• Be careful that your fingers or the strap do not cover
the flash, lens, or film ejection slot.

picture is taken. You can change the flash setting to
disable flashing. (Page 20)
Cautions on the camera's memory
• When the memory becomes full, the shutter will not
release and you cannot take a picture. Delete the
images in the memory or use another memory card.
• You can save up to 50 images in the memory. 1000
images per 1 gygabyte can be saved if you use a
memory card.
• Images in the memory may be damaged or lost if the
camera has any trouble. We recommend you store
important image files as backup using other media
(e.g. Hard disk, CD-R, CD-RW, or DVD-R, etc.).
• If you ask for repair, we do not guarantee the safety of
images in the memory.
• While the camera is being repaired, note that we may
check the contents of images in the memory.
