Limited warranty

Kodak warrants its digital cameras and accessories (excluding batteries) to be free from malfunctions and
defects in both materials and workmanship for the warranty period specified on your Kodak Product packaging.
Retain the original dated sales receipt. Proof of purchase date is required with any request for warranty repair.

Limited warranty coverage

Warranty service is only available from within the country where the Products were originally purchased. You
may be required to ship Products, at your expense, to the authorized service facility for the country where the
Products were purchased. Kodak will repair or replace Products if they fail to function properly during the
warranty period, subject to any conditions and/or limitations stated herein. Warranty service will include all
labor as well as any necessary adjustments and/or replacement parts. If Kodak is unable to repair or replace a
Product, Kodak will, at its option, refund the purchase price paid for the Product provided the Product has been
returned to Kodak along with proof of the purchase price paid. Repair, replacement, or refund of the purchase
price are the sole remedies under the warranty. If replacement parts are used in making repairs, those parts may
be remanufactured, or may contain remanufactured materials. If it is necessary to replace the entire Product, it
may be replaced with a remanufactured Product. Remanufactured Products, parts and materials are warranted
for the remaining warranty term of the original Product, or 90 days after the date of repair or replacement,
whichever is longer.

Limitations
This warranty does not cover circumstances beyond Kodak's control. This warranty does not apply when failure

is due to shipping damage, accident, alteration, modification, unauthorized service, misuse, abuse, use with
incompatible accessories or attachments (such as third party ink or ink tanks), failure to follow Kodak's
operation, maintenance or repacking instructions, failure to use items supplied by Kodak (such as adapters and
cables), or claims made after the duration of this warranty. Kodak makes no other express or implied warranty
for this product. In the event that the exclusion of any implied warranty is ineffective under the law, the duration
of the implied warranty will be the length of the express warranty period specified on your Kodak product
packaging. The option of repair, replacement, or refund is Kodak's only obligation. Kodak will not be
responsible for any special, consequential or incidental damages resulting from the sale, purchase, or use of this
product regardless of the cause. Liability for any special, consequential or incidental damages (including but not
limited to loss of revenue or profit, downtime costs, loss of the use of the equipment, cost of substitute
equipment, facilities or services, or claims of your customers for such damages resulting from the purchase, use,
or failure of the Product), regardless of cause or for breach of any written or implied warranty is expressly
disclaimed.

24 www.kodak.com/go/easysharecenter

Appendix

Your righ ts
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the

above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Some states or jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how
long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific
rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state to state or by jurisdiction.

Outside the United States and Canada

In countries other than the United States and Canada, the terms and conditions of this warranty may be
different. Unless a specific Kodak warranty is communicated to the purchaser in writing by a Kodak company,
no warranty or liability exists beyond any minimum requirements imposed by law, even though defect, damage,
or loss may be by negligence or other act.

Use these modes when you want more control over your camera and pictures.

Mode When to use Press

to control

Program mode offers the ease of auto shooting

with full access to all menu options. The camera
automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture
(f-stop) based on the scene lighting.

Aperture Priority mode controls depth of field (the
range of sharpness). The aperture setting may be
affected by optical zoom.

Shutter Priority mode prevents blur when your
subject is moving. The camera automatically sets the
aperture for proper exposure. (To prevent blur, use a
tripod for slow shutter speeds.)

Manual mode offers the highest level of creative
control. (To prevent blur, use a tripod for slow shutter
speeds.)

Changing P, A, S, or M mode settings

PASM modes control the aperture (f-number, also known as f-stop), shutter speed,
exposure compensation, flash compensation, and ISO. Use the Menu button to
control all other settings.

1 Turn the Mode dial to P, A, S, or M.

2 Press to access a setting. Press to change the setting.

ISO—adjust the camera’s sensitivity to light. Higher ISO indicates greater sensitivity.

NOTE: A higher ISO may produce unwanted “noise” in a picture.

Flash Compensation—adjust flash brightness.

Exposure Compensation—adjust the exposure. If the scene is too light, decrease

the setting; if it’s too dark, increase the setting.

Shutter speed—control how long the shutter stays open. (Use a tripod for slow
shutter speeds.)

Aperture—(also known as f-stop) control the size of the lens opening, which
determines the depth of field.

■ Smaller f-stop numbers indicate a larger lens opening; good for low-light.

■ Larger f-stop numbers indicate a smaller lens opening; keeps the main subject

sharp; good for landscapes and well-lit conditions.

Taking pictures/videos

Using exposure compensation to adjust brightness

In P, A, S, and Panorama modes, you can adjust exposure compensation before you
take a picture to make your pictures darker or lighter. Only the first picture in
Panorama mode can be adjusted—that adjustment is applied to the remaining
pictures.

■ Press to access the exposure compensation setting.

■ Press to decrease or to increase exposure compensation.

An exposure compensation level is shown on the LCD and the image gets darker or lighter.

Take the picture when you are satisfied with the exposure compensation level.

Using exposure compensation with exposure bracketing

In P and A modes, you can use exposure compensation in conjunction with exposure
bracketing to get the best exposure.

If the exposure
compensation is set to:

0.0
+1.0
–1.0

And if the exposure bracketing
interval is set to 0.3 steps:

Set the Exposure Bracketing Interval
in the Capture+ menu (see page 35).

Then the exposures
taken are:

–0.3, 0.0, +0.3
+0.7, +1.0, +1.3
–1.3, –1.0, –0.7

purchase price paid for the Product provided the Product has been returned to Kodak
along with proof of the purchase price paid. Repair, replacement, or refund of the
purchase price are the sole remedies under the warranty. If replacement parts are
used in making repairs, those parts may be remanufactured, or may contain

remanufactured materials. If it is necessary to replace the entire Product, it may be
replaced with a remanufactured Product. Remanufactured Products, parts and
materials are warranted for the remaining warranty term of the original Product, or 90
days after the date of repair or replacement, whichever is longer.

Limitations

This warranty does not cover circumstances beyond Kodak's control. This warranty
does not apply when failure is due to shipping damage, accident, alteration,
modification, unauthorized service, misuse, abuse, use with incompatible accessories
or attachments (such as third party ink or ink tanks), failure to follow Kodak's
operation, maintenance or repacking instructions, failure to use items supplied by
Kodak (such as adapters and cables), or claims made after the duration of this
warranty. Kodak makes no other express or implied warranty for this product. In the
event that the exclusion of any implied warranty is ineffective under the law, the
duration of the implied warranty will be the length of the express warranty period
specified on your Kodak product packaging. The option of repair, replacement, or
refund is Kodak's only obligation. Kodak will not be responsible for any special,
consequential or incidental damages resulting from the sale, purchase, or use of this
product regardless of the cause. Liability for any special, consequential or incidental
damages (including but not limited to loss of revenue or profit, downtime costs, loss
of the use of the equipment, cost of substitute equipment, facilities or services, or
claims of your customers for such damages resulting from the purchase, use, or failure
of the Product), regardless of cause or for breach of any written or implied warranty is
expressly disclaimed.

Your rights

Some states or jurisdictions do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific
rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state to state or by jurisdiction.

Appendix

Outside the United States and Canada

In countries other than the United States and Canada, the terms and conditions of
this warranty may be different. Unless a specific Kodak warranty is communicated to
the purchaser in writing by a Kodak company, no warranty or liability exists beyond
any minimum requirements imposed by law, even though defect, damage, or loss may
be by negligence or other act.

Regulatory compliance

FCC compliance and advisory

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed or used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures: 1) reorient or relocate the
receiving antenna; 2) increase the separation between the equipment and the
receiver; 3) connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected; 4) consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for additional suggestions. Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment. Where shielded interface cables have been provided with the
product or specified additional components or accessories elsewhere defined to be
used with the installation of the product, they must be used in order to ensure
compliance with FCC regulation.
