General Maintenance and Safety
Do not pick up the camera by the USB cable or any other attachments.
To keep from damaging your ZARA, avoid exposing it to moisture and extreme
temperatures. (below 0ºC or above 40ºC)
Keep the camera away from direct sunshine or in a closed car in the summer.
If you leave the lens facing direct sunlight, this will cause discoloration in your
pictures(image sensor) and may cause a fire.
Do not use the optical viewfinder to look directly at the sun or any source of bright light.
Do not use or store your ZARA in a place where strong electrostatic or electrical
noise may be generated.
Do not drop or give excessive shock to the ZARA.
Do not disassemble or touch the inside of the ZARA. This may result in
malfunctions of the camera.
Do not use organic solvents, such as thinner or benzene, on to the ZARA.
Do not point the flash towards people at a short distance. Shooting the flash close
to the eyes may cause retinal damage. Operate the camera at least 1 meter away
from subjects.
If the battery liquid gets on your hands or clothes, wash it off with water. If the
battery liquid gets into your eyes, it may cause blindness.
Notes
Pictures taken under fluorescent light might show yellow stripes.
If the battery power is low, images may appear distorted.
When taking pictures of bright objects, the bright parts might look white.
Use the flash to take pictures if the background or subject is too dark, and use in
as bright an area as possible (Luminous intensity of 50 Lux or more).
When pressing the shutter button, do not move or shake the camera until the
beeping sound switches off. If the camera is shaken during operation, images
may come out distorted.

Attaching the Strap
Pass the loop of this cord on the end of the strap through the strap mount.
Then pass the other end of the strap through the loop of the thin cord and pull
the strap tight.
Installing Batteries
Your camera comes with two AAA batteries so you can start taking pictures
immediately.
Before you start taking pictures, you need to install the batteries and insert a
CompactFlashCard (memory card) into the Camera.
10
Press OPEN and slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the
arrow, then lift the cover.
Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols
marked inside.
Replace the cover.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard,
alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
If you do not plan to use the camera for a long time, remove the batteries.
Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
Battery life is about one week in standby and 2 hours in continuous shooting
mode (using alkaline batteries). When batteries become weak, the power
indicator blinks. Wait until the camera automatically shuts off in 30 seconds,
then replace the batteries.
We do not recommend using Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries. They discharge
power quickly and might result in unexpected loss of the pictures.
When you use the USB cable to connect the camera to a computer and the
computer is turned on, the computer supplies power to the camera and the
batteries are disconnected.
In low temperatures (below 32ºF), battery efficiency lowers and camera
operation time is reduced. When using the camera in cold environments, keep
it warm by covering it while not in use.
Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
