Chapter 1

Extending Battery Life

! Battery life depends significantly on battery age, usage conditions, and type.

Digital cameras are demanding on batteries. Not all batteries perform well under these challenging conditions.

! Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:

– Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen (see page 27) – Using Liveview (see page 16) – Using Quickview (see page 17). – Excessive use of the flash

! Purchase an optional Kodak 3-volt AC adapter to power your camera (see

page 87).

! Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare camera dock (see page 53). The

camera dock powers your camera, transfers pictures, and is also a battery charger for its included Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack.

! Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare printer dock 4000 (see page 52).

The printer dock 4000 powers your camera, makes 4 x 6 prints with or without a computer, transfers pictures, and is also a battery charger for its included Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack.

! Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a

clean, dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.

! Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41° F (5° C).

Carry spare batteries when using your camera in cold weather, and keep them warm. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature, they may be usable.

Battery Safety and Handling

! Do not allow batteries to touch metal objects, including coins. Otherwise, a

battery may short circuit, discharge energy, become hot, or leak.

! For rechargeable battery disposal information, visit the Rechargeable

Battery Recycling Corporation Web site at www.rbrc.com.

Chapter 11

Tips, Safety, Maintenance

! Always follow basic safety precautions. Refer to the “Important Safety

Instructions” booklet packed with your camera.

! Do not allow any chemicals, such as suntan lotion, to come into contact

with the painted surface of the camera.

! 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 battery and card. Allow all components to air-dry for at least 24 hours before using the camera again.

! Clean the lens and LCD:

1 Blow gently on the lens or LCD to remove dust and dirt. 2 Moisten the lens or LCD by breathing lightly on it. 3 Wipe the lens or LCD gently with a soft, lint-free cloth or an untreated

lens-cleaning tissue.

Do not use cleaning solutions unless they are designed specifically for camera lenses. Do not wipe the camera lens or LCD with chemically

treated eyeglass lens tissue. It may scratch the lens.

! Clean the outside of the camera by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Never use

harsh or abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on the camera or any of its parts.

! Service agreements are available in some countries. Please contact a dealer

of Kodak products for more information.

! For digital camera disposal or recycling information, please contact your

local authorities. In the US, visit the Electronics Industry Alliance Web site at www.eiae.org or the Kodak Web site at

www.kodak.com/go/cx4310support.

Chapter 11

Picture Storage Capacities

Picture file sizes can vary. You may be able to store more or fewer pictures. Purchase cards on our Web site at http://www.kodak.com/go/

cx4310accessories.

Store this many pictures at:

Best Better Good 16 MB internal memory 14 29 59 8 MB MMC/card 71429 16 MB card 14 29 59 32 MB card 29 59 120 64 MB card 59 120 240 96 MB card 90 180 360 192 MB card 180 360 720

Locating Pictures on an MMC/SD Card

Pictures stored on MMC/SD Cards use a standard agreed upon by many camera manufacturers. This lets you use the cards in different cameras. If you use a card reader to retrieve your files, the following description of the card file structure may be helpful.

MISC folder—contains the order files created when you use the Share feature to tag files for printing, emailing, and as Favorites.

SYSTEM folder—used for updating camera firmware. DCIM folder—root level folder, contains the 100K4310 folder. Each time you

turn on the camera or insert a different card, any empty folders within the DCIM folder are removed.

100K4310 subfolder—contains all the pictures on the card.

Chapter 11

Card File Naming Conventions

! Pictures are named DCP_nnnn.JPG, and are numbered in the order in

which they are taken. The first picture is named DCP_0001.JPG; the highest number allowed is DCP_9999.JPG.

! When a card contains a picture named DCP_9999.JPG in the

\DCIM\100K4310 folder, subsequent pictures appear in a new folder (\DCIM\101K4310), beginning with picture DCP_0001.JPG.

! Even if you transfer pictures to the computer or delete pictures from the

camera, the camera continues to use consecutive numbers for all subsequent pictures. For example, if the last picture taken was DCP_0007.JPG and you delete it, the next picture you take is named DCP_0008.JPG.

! When you insert a different card into your camera, the next picture number

is defined by incrementing the higher of the last picture taken by the camera, or the highest existing picture number in the folder.

! If you use the card in a camera other than the Kodak EasyShare CX4310

digital camera, and that camera manufacturer adheres to this file structure standard, the \DCIM folder contains a folder named by that camera. For more information, refer to the documentation that accompanied that camera.
