Connect the small end of the USB cable to the camera's USB port and the larger end to a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a computer's USB port. The charging indicator light will typically show the charging status and turn off or change color when fully charged. A full charge provides approximately 3-4 hours of continuous use.

Your camera comes with a 32GB SD card pre-installed. If you need to remove or replace it, gently push the SD card into its slot until it clicks, then release to eject. Ensure the camera is powered off before inserting or removing the SD card.
4.3. Installing Print Paper
The camera uses thermal print paper for instant black-and-white photos. Follow these steps to install a new roll:
- Locate the latch on the print paper storage bin, usually on the side or bottom of the camera.
- Push the latch and open the cover of the paper compartment.
- Place a new roll of print paper into the storage bin. Ensure the smooth, thermal-sensitive side of the paper is facing upwards, ready to feed into the printing mechanism.
- Pull a small section of paper out of the paper outlet, then close the cover securely.
