- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55mm)
- Digital Zoom: None (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)

Product Manuals
Q: What kind of Micro SD card do I need for this?
A: This camera requires a 32Gb MicroSD card. I tried larger storage options but the camera cannot handle larger MicroSD cards. The 32Gb card should give you around 2000 photos though.
A: It uses 2 AAA batteries which are NOT included
A: girl this requires batteries
Q: What happens if you put a bigger micro SD card in it than what it's supposed to?
A: The camera will not recognize the card. I did that without realizing it can only take a 32mb card. Had to go back and buy the proper sized card.
A: I took about 4 pictures with fully charged rechargeable batteries before it said battery was too low to turn on flash. You'd better bring a case of batteries.
Q: Can photo images be directly downloaded to a laptop using a USB cable?
A: Yes but you have to install a software. You better off removing the micro SD card and use a card reader.
Q: When I take pictures with this digital camera can I transfer them to my HP laptop computer?
A: Yes you can transfer the images to your notebook.
Q: Can you print right from the camera like a classic Polaroid
A: No. It does not have that function.

At this price point, can’t complain (too much)!
Cheap waterproof camera. For $50 it does exactly what it says it will do. View screen is worthless so you point, shoot, and hope for the best. Took it snorkeling off the coast of Oahu and got the job done. Photos include out of and in the water.

Not a great camera, not a terrible camera.
Not a terrible little camera, but a little awkward to operate. The buttons on the back don't correspond to choices on the menus, and make it difficult to navigate and get set up. For example, there is no directional pad or "ok" or "back" buttons, but the interface asks you to hit "ok" or "back" in the screen prompts. Some functions, like the date and time, can't be accessed because the buttons aren't correct. Pictures are not bad in full light, pretty terrible in low light, but that's to be expected for a camera at this price point. On the positive side, I bought this for my young kids to take pictures while camping and they had fun and were able to take pictures and video with little trouble.
