Trouble Shooting
• If you disconnect the USB cable during operation, you need to close the Acquire dialog panel
and then re-open it again for the PC to recognize the unit.
• The file size of a photo (CIF size, save as BMP file) is 298KB. For 20 photos, the file size
will be 5944KB (equal to the AVI file size). If the compression is set to on in the AVICreator,
the file size will be reduced to 1354KB but the video quality is not so good.
• The camera is set to your country’s AC mains frequency. If you use it in another country with
different frequency (either 50 or 60Hz), you should not take the photo under the lamp.Black
strips of line will be seen in the picture due to incorrect mains frequency. It is no problem
under the sunlight.
• The camera will turn off automatically after 30 seconds without pressing the buttons. This
can save the battery life. You need not to take off the battery when it is not in use. Just take
off it if the pictures are uploaded or you will not use it for a long time, say 2 days or more.
• When the LCD is blinking, it means the battery power is low. You need to change batteries.
You can take up to all 20 photos even it is blinking. Then upload the photos to the PC and
change the empty batteries.

than the alkaline battery. It will get battery low easily.
• If the PC cannot recognize the camera when you run the Photo program, you need to dis-
connect and re-connect the USB cord to the camera.
• You will hear a ‘Gi’ sound and the Digital Camera will not function to take a photo if the
environment is too dark. Try to use spot light or turn on the fluorescent lamp to get more
light.
• After power on, it will take about 2 seconds to initialize the internal set-up. Then you will see
the number of pictures remained. So it cannot take the picture immediately after power on or
awake from sleep mode.
• You would better to adjust the gamma of your monitor through some programs to fine tune
the color in order to get a vivid photo on the monitor. Actually, the Photo Studio has the
gamma adjustment to the photo.
• This is not a disposable camera. You can use it whenever the power is ready and the memory
is not full.
• It is better to use the USB port for upload. The power is supplied by the USB port so the battery
power can be saved and the upload speed is 20 times faster. Even you connect both ports,
it will select the USB port.
• It is recommended to use alkaline batteries. This will get longer play time. And the performance
is better than normal batteries.

is always '20' or '80'. Change to new batteries if it cannot recover this problem by open and
cover the battery door.
