Checking the battery level

Switch your DTC 450 to the "Setup mode" (main switch
(12) top position). Using the down arrow key (11), select
the menu option "Photo/video playback" and confirm
this by pressing the OK button (11). The battery level
will be shown in the top left area of the LCD display (6).
Another way to check the battery level is by selecting the
menu option "Camera info" using the up/down arrow
keys (11) and confirming with OK (11). In the submenu
the battery level is displayed as a percentage.
Note: We recommend using high efficiency batteries
for optimum performance. You can prolong battery life
if you create shorter video sequences.

Note: The battery status LED (4) is activated when the
battery starts to run out.

Installing the memory card

You need a memory card (SD/SDHC card) in order to store
images or video clips. Your DTC 450 camera supports
memory cards of up to 32 GB.
Insert the memory card into the memory card slot (15) with
the brass coloured contacts toward the inside of the cam-
era. Ensure that the SD card is not write-protected (SD card
slider is not in the "lock" mode). Switch your DTC 450 to
the "Setup mode" (main switch (12) top position). When
your DTC 450 camera shows "No SD card" in the display,
this means that either no memory card has been inserted,
it was not correctly inserted or it is not compatible. You
can continue with the camera settings when you return
directly to the main menu.
