Insert an SD/SDHC Card
Your camera has enough internal memory for a practice video/picture.
IMPORTANT:
For the best experience and to use the sharing
features—including social networking and email—you must
purchase and insert a card (SDHC Class 4 or higher; maximum
supported size: 32 GB).
A card can only be inserted one way; forcing it may cause damage.
Inserting or removing a card while the camera is on may damage the
pictures, the card, or the camera.
When you turn on the camera, it checks to see if a card is inserted. If so,
new pictures/videos are stored on the card. If no card is inserted, new
pictures/videos are stored in the camera’s internal memory. If pictures/videos
are detected in internal memory and a card is inserted, the camera prompts
you to move the pictures to the card (and erase those in internal memory).

CAUTION:
Do not disassemble this product; there are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. KODAK AC Adapters and Battery
Chargers are intended for indoor use only. The use of controls, adjustments, or
procedures other than those specified herein may result in exposure to shock
and/or electrical or mechanical hazards. If the LCD breaks, do not touch the
glass or liquid. Contact Kodak customer support.
■ The use of an accessory that is not recommended by Kodak may cause fire, electric
shock, or injury. For approved accessories, go to www.kodak.com/go/accessories.
■ Use only a USB-certified computer equipped with a current-limiting motherboard.
Contact your computer manufacturer if you have questions.
■ If using this product in an airplane, observe all instructions of the airline.
■ When removing the battery, allow it to cool; it may be hot.
■ Follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer.
■ Use only batteries approved for this product to avoid risk of explosion.
■ Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
■ Do not allow batteries to touch metal objects, including coins. Otherwise, a battery may
short circuit, discharge energy, become hot, or leak.
■ Do not disassemble, install backward, or expose batteries to liquid, moisture, fire, or
extreme temperature.
■ Remove the battery when the product is stored for an extended period of time. In the
unlikely event that battery fluid leaks inside the product, contact Kodak customer

Appendix
IMPORTANT: The shock resistance and water resistance of this product are based on Kodak
test results and do not constitute any guarantee that the product will perform, will not be
damaged, or will not malfunction under such conditions. Though the camera is designed to
withstand the effects of impact occurring during normal use, impact due to rough handling
(such as throwing or dropping it from excessive heights) can cause serious damage. Even if a
drop does not result in functional problems, it can cause scratching and other cosmetic
damage to the camera.
Care and maintenance
■ Before inserting or removing the card, make sure your hands, the camera, and the card
are completely dry.
■ In water, do not use below a depth of 3 meters (9.8 ft).
■ Do not open/close camera doors in water.
■ The camera will not float. Use the strap at all times.
■ If water has entered the camera, remove the card. Allow all components to air-dry for at
least 24 hours before using the camera.
■ If the camera was used in chemically treated water or saltwater, rinse it in fresh water,
then use a soft towel to dry it.
■ Wipe off dirt or sand from the door seals—debris could compromise the seal and cause
a leak when in water.
■ Do not subject the camera to temperatures lower than 0 (32°F) or higher than 40°C
(104°F) for an extended time—the integrity of the seals may be compromised. Wait
until camera reaches operating temperatures before using.
■ Blow gently on the lens or LCD to remove dust and dirt. Wipe gently with a soft,
lint-free cloth or an untreated lens-cleaning tissue. Do not use cleaning solutions unless
designed specifically for camera lenses. Do not allow chemicals, such as suntan lotion,
to contact painted surfaces.
■ Service agreements may be available in your country. Contact a dealer of KODAK
Products for more information.
■ For camera disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities. In the US,
go to the Electronics Industry Alliance Web site at www.eiae.org or go to Kodak at
www.kodak.com/go/support.
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.
www.kodak.com/go/support 25
Appendix
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, and disclaims the implied warranties of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. In the event that the exclusion
of any implied warranty is ineffective under the law, the duration of the implied warranty will
be one year from the purchase date or such longer period as required by law. 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.
The limitations and exclusions of liability set forth herein apply to both Kodak and its
suppliers.
You r rig h 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.
