Inserting the SD/MMC card (optional)
The SD card comes with a write-protect switch. When the
write-protect switch is set to the Lock position, the card
will become non-writable. To ensure that the camera can
operate normally, you should set the write-protect switch
to the Unlock position before inserting the SD card.
In addition to 16MB (128Mbits) built-in flash memory, your
camera can store data on a Secure Digital (SD) card or a
MultiMedia card (MMC). The supported memory size
ranges from 8MB to 256MB.
To insert a SD/MMC card, gently push the card as
indicated until the card reaches the end of the slot. Note
that once a SD/MMC card is inserted, the camera will use
the card as the main storage media. Files stored in the
camera's built-in memory will become inaccessible until
the SD/MMC card is removed.
To remove the SD/MMC card, gently push the card. After the
card pops up, pull the card out of the slot.
Do not remove the SD/MMC card while the camera is
processing data (when the LED is flashing).
If you insert a write-protected card, the media icon on the
LCD display will become red.

select the white balance setting to take pictures with the
correct color balance.
Using the hot button
While in Digital Camera mode, pressing the Right button
allows you to change the white balance setting without
entering the options menu.

Auto, Sunny, Cloudy, Fluorescent, and Tungsten.

cloudy weather.
Fluorescent ( ): Suitable for shooting environment

White balance:
When the human eye sees an object, it adapts to the object
so that a white object always looks white. However, a digital
camera sees an object as white by adjusting the color
balance of the lighting condition. This process is called
matching the white balance.
