1 Getting

Started

Congratulations on your purchase of the new 1.3 megapixel KODAK

DC240 Zoom Digital Camera (DC240) or 2.0 megapixel KODAK DC280

Zoom Digital Camera (DC280)—the cameras that take pictures digitally,

without the use of film. With your new camera, picture taking and print

making have never been easier or faster. The possibilties are endless.

Here is just a few examples of what you can do with your camera:

qTake digital pictures in unbelievable detail, color, and sharpness.

qTransfer your pictures to a computer for instant editing,

enhancement, and placement into your document.

qE-mail your pictures in minutes to friends, family, and business

associates anywhere in the world.

qPrint high-quality pictures at home using KODAK Inkjet Photo

Paper, or take your KODAK Picture Card to a KODAK Picture

Maker System and create photo-quality enlargements with a touch

of a button.

qDisplay your pictures to a large audience on a television or video

monitor.

qCustomize your pictures with a company logo or graphic using the

KODAK DC240/DC280 Border Transfer Application.

Preparing to Take Pictures

Before you start taking pictures with your camera, you first need to install

the batteries or connect a Kodak-specified AC adapter for power, and

insert a KODAK Picture Card (camera memory card) into the camera.

Loading Batteries

Your camera uses four AA batteries to power the camera. For your

convenience, two sets of batteries are included with your camera: four

alkaline batteries, and four Ni-MH rechargeable batteries with battery

charger. The alkaline batteries are provided so you can start using your

camera immediately. The rechargeable batteries need to be charged first,

before using them in the camera. Although both types of batteries work

in your camera, do not mix different types of batteries in the camera at the

same time.

For information on guidelines for battery usage, see page 91.

Turning the Camera On and Off

You turn the camera on and off using the POWER switch, located on the

back of the camera.

1Place your thumb on the battery door.

2Slide the battery door away from

the camera.

3Insert the batteries as indicated on the

battery cover, then close the battery door.

qTo turn on the camera, slide the

POWER switch to the right.

The Status Display on top of the

camera turns on.

qTo turn off the camera, slide the

POWER switch again to the right.

The camera turns off when it is

finished processing, deleting, or

transferring the picture just taken.

Checking Batteries

So you are never caught with dead batteries, your camera indicates the

power level of the batteries, in the form of a battery status symbol, which

appears in the Status Display when you turn on the camera.

For information on guidelines for battery usage, see page 91.

1Set the Mode dial to Capture, Review, or

Camera Settings.

The battery status symbol is not visible if

you set the camera to Connect.

2Slide the POWER switch to the right to

turn on the camera.

3Check the battery status symbol that

appears in the Status Display.

qFull (No Icon)—indicates that batteries

are charged and ready to use.

qLow—indicates batteries are not fully

charged and will soon need to be

replaced or recharged.

qExhausted (blinking)—indicates

batteries are too weak to power the

camera and need to be replaced.

Using the Battery Charger

To ensure that you have a constant supply of freshly charged batteries, a

battery charger and four AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are provided

with some DC240/DC280 cameras. These batteries need to be charged

before using and take up to eight hours to fully charge. So you are always

prepared to take pictures, keep one set of rechargeable batteries in the

camera, and an extra set charged, ready for use. You can purchase

additional KODAK Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries as an accessory. For

details about available accessories, ask your dealer of Kodak products, or

visit our Website at http://www.kodak.com/go/accessories.

1Verify that you are loading Ni-MH or

Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries. If they are

any other type, do not load them into

the charger.

This charger is for charging Ni-MH or

Ni-Cd batteries only, with a maximum of 4

cells, and a maximum charge of 1450mAH.

Do not charge nonrechargeable batteries.

2Align the positive and negative ends of the

batteries with the positive and negative

contact points in the charger.

3Insert the batteries into the charger until

the batteries snap in place.

4Plug the charger into a power outlet.

Depending on where you live, some

battery chargers are supplied with power

plugs that are not attached to the charger. If

you have that type of charger, use the plug

that matches your power outlet.

5Verify that the charge indicator lights on

the charger turn on. If the lights do not turn

on, verify that the batteries are inserted

correctly.

Batteries are fully charged when the charge

indicator lights on the charger turn off, or

after 8 hours of charging.

6Unplug the charger and remove the

batteries when charging is complete.
