Thank you for purchasing this AgfaPhoto digital camera. Please read these operating
instructions carefully in order to use the digital camera correctly. Keep the instructions in a
safe place after reading so that you can refer to them later.
Precautions
• Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or other intense light sources which could
damage your eyesight.
• Do not try to open the case of the camera or attempt to modify this camera in any way.
High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric shock when exposed.
Maintenance and repairs should be carried out only by authorized service providers.
• Do not press the flash too close to the eyes of animals or young children. Eye damage
may result. Please remain at least one meter away from infants when using flash.
• Keep the camera away from water and other liquids. Do not use the camera with wet
hands. Never use the camera in the rain or snow. Moisture creates internal danger and
may cause electric shock.
• Keep the camera and its accessories out of the reach of children and animals to prevent
accidents or damage to the camera.
• If you notice smoke or a strange odor coming from the camera, turn the power off
immediately. Take the camera to the nearest authorized service center for repair. Never
attempt to repair the camera on your own.
• Use only the recommended power accessories. Use of power sources not expressly
recommended for this equipment may lead to overheating, distortion of the equipment,
fire, electrical shock or other hazards.
Disclaimer
We assume no responsibility over and above the provisions of the Product Liability Law for
damages suffered by the user or third parties as a result of inappropriate handling of the
product or its accessories, or by their operational failure and by their use. We reserve the
right to make changes to this product and its accessories without prior notice.
Warning!
Never disconnect to open the camera or remove any parts of it. This will invalidate all
guarantee claims.
Using your batteries
For best performance and prolonged battery life, we recommend the use of AA lithium or
rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.
Extending battery life
The following functions use up a great deal of battery power and should therefore only be
used occasionally:
• Excessive use of flash
• Editing images on the camera display
The battery life can be affected by soiling. Please clean the contacts with a clean and dry
cloth before putting the batteries in the camera. Battery performance drops at temperatures
below 5 °C (41
°F).
If you use the camera at low temperatures you should have replacement
batteries to hand and ensure they do not get too cold. Please note: you should not dispose of
cold and seemingly flat batteries because these batteries may work again at room
temperature.
