Read First
Before using the camera, please make sure that you read and understand all
the following safety precautions. Always ensure that the camera is operated
correctly. The safety precautions will instruct you in the safe and correct oper-
ation of the camera and its accessories, preventing injuries or damage to your-
self, other persons and equipment.
In the following pages, the term "equipment" refers mainly to the camera
and its power supply accessories.

WARNINGS
To prevent possible injury, please observe the following warnings when using
JENOPTIK products.

• Do not use the flash too close to eyes

Using the flash too close to your subject’s eyes can injure the eyesight.
Especially, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away from infants when
you use the flash.

• Do not place camera strap around neck

The strap could result in suffocation when accidentally wound around neck.

• Do not open or disassemble

Disassembling the equipment may cause high-voltage electrical shock.
Interior inspections, modifications and repairs should be conducted by quali-
fied service staff. Please take the product to a JENOPTIK authorized service
center for inspection.

5
Read First
• Turn off immediately when malfunction
If you notice unusual smell or smoke coming from the equipment, please
unplug the AC adaptor and remove the battery immediately. Proceed swiftly
with caution to avoid burns. Take the equipment to JENOPTIK authorized
service center for inspection.

• Unplug the adaptor when the camera is not in use

If you use the adaptor as the power source, unplug the adaptor when the
camera is not in use to prevent fire and other dangers. Continuous use over
a long time may lead to overheating, deformation and fire.

Battery
Observe the following instruction when handling battery used in this product.
Improper use of battery may lead to leakage or explosion.
• Recharge only Ni-Mh or Ni-Cd AA rechargeable batteries. Recharging batter-
ies that are not rechargeable may leads to leakage or explosion.
• Check battery polarity before inserting. Do not attempt to insert the battery
upside down or backward.
• Do not disassemble or short circuit the battery.
• Do not expose battery to fire or excessive heat.
• Do not immerse or contact with water or other liquids.
• Stop using the battery immediately if noticing any deformation or changes
in color.
• Do not put the batteries along with metal objects such as coins, keys or hair-
pins in your pocket.
• Keep battery out of the reach of children. Seek medical attention right away
if a child swallows a battery.

6
 CAUTIONS
Observe and exercise the following cautions to avoid damage and keeping
your JENOPTIK camera in an optimum working status.

• Keep Dry
This camera is not waterproof, and may malfunction when immersed in
water, or any liquids to enter the interior of the camera

• Away from Moisture, Salt or Dust

Wipe off salt or dust with a slightly dampened soft cloth after using your
camera at the beach or seaside, then, dry your camera thoroughly.

• Away from Strong Magnetic Fields

Never put the camera too close to any equipment producing strong electro-
magnetic fields, such as electric motor. Strong electromagnetic fields could
lead to camera malfunctions or interfere the data recording.

• Avoid Intense Heat

Do not use or store the equipment under sunlight or high temperatures.
Such exposure could lead to the leakage of the batteries or deformation of
the casing.

• Avoid rapid temperature change

Rapidly moving the equipment between hot and cold temperatures may
form water droplets on its exterior and interior. To prevent the condensa-
tion, place the equipment in its carry case or a plastic bag before exposing it
to a rapid temperature change.

• Do not drop
Strong shock or vibration of dropping could cause malfunction. Keep the
strap around your wrist when carrying the camera.

7
Read First
• Do not unplug or remove the battery when the processing data
When images data are being recorded or deleted from memory cards, cut-
ting off power could result in data loss or damage the internal circuitry or
memory.

• Carefully handle the lens and all moving parts

Be careful not to apply too much force to the lens, memory card, battery or
the jack cover. These parts are not design to take extra force than regular
use.

• Battery
In low temperature circumstances, the battery’s capacity may decrease sig-
nificantly due to the inactive chemical reaction. When taking pictures in cold
weather, keep a warm backup battery on hand.
Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them with a dry, clean cloth
or use an eraser to remove the stain.

• Memory cards
Turn off the power before inserting or removing the memory card.
Otherwise, the memory card could become unstable.

. Quality

In order to reduce the size of the image for more storage of pictures in the
memory card, images are compressed. However, compression leads to the loss
of image quality. In other words, the less you compress the image, the better
the image quality, and the less picture you can store in the memory card.

Both NTSC and PAL are TV's broadcast systems. The NTSC system is mainly used
in U.S.A., Japan, Canada, Mexico, the Philippines, and Korea. The PAL system is
used in the western Europe such as Germany, England, Switzerland, Holland,
Italy (except for France) and Australia, Singapore, Thailand and China.
As these systems have no compatibility, you cannot watch an NTSC system
based TV in an area where a PAL system is used. This camera can switch the
