We do not recommend or support alkaline batteries. For acceptable battery
life, and to make sure your camera operates dependably, use the replacement
batteries listed above.
Extending battery life
■ Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:
– Reviewing your pictures on the LCD screen (see page 8)
– Using the camera LCD screen as a viewfinder (see page 7)
– Excessive use of the flash (see page 24)
■ Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a clean,
dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.

Appendix
■ Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41°F (5°C). When using
your camera in cold weather, carry spare batteries and keep them warm. Do not
discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature, they
may be usable.

Upgrading your software and firmware

software CD and the camera firmware (the software that runs on the camera). Visit
www.kodak.com/go/c530downloads.
Additional care and maintenance
■ If the camera has been subjected to inclement weather or you suspect water has
gotten inside the camera, turn off the camera and remove the batteries and card.
Allow all components to air-dry for at least 24 hours before using the camera again.
■ Blow gently on the lens or LCD screen 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 are available in some countries. Contact a dealer of Kodak
products for more information.
■ For digital camera disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities.

Warranty
Limited warranty
Kodak warrants Kodak EasyShare digital cameras and accessories (excluding
batteries) to be free from malfunctions and defects in both materials and
workmanship for one year from the date of purchase.
Retain the original dated sales receipt. Proof of the date of purchase will be required
with any request for warranty repair.
Limited warranty coverage
This limited warranty will be honored only in the geographical location
that Kodak digital cameras and accessories were purchased.
Kodak will REPAIR or REPLACE Kodak EasyShare digital cameras and accessories if
they fail to function properly during the warranty period, subject to any conditions
and/or limitations stated herein. Such repair service will include all labor as well as
any necessary adjustments and/or replacement parts. Such repair or replacement is
the sole remedy under this warranty.
If replacement parts are used in making repairs, these 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.
Limitations
Request for Warranty service will not be accepted without proof of date of purchase,
such as a copy of the original dated Kodak EasyShare digital camera or accessory
sales receipt. (Always keep the original for your records.)
This warranty does not apply to the battery(s) used in digital cameras or accessories.
This warranty does not cover circumstances beyond Kodak’s control, nor problems
caused by failure to follow the operating instructions in the Kodak EasyShare digital
cameras and accessories User’s Guides.
56 www.kodak.com/go/support
Appendix
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, 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 one year from the purchase date.
The option of replacement 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 and excluded here from.
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.
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 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.
