Resolution

Resolution indicates the size of the picture in pixels. The camera can be set to capture pictures in a High or Standard resolution. Your pictures include more detail with high resolution, but they will use more memory on the card than at the standard resolution setting.

You can switch freely between the two settings when taking pictures. The number of pictures the DC200/DC210 is able to store will vary accordingly.

The Resolution setting is indicated on the Status Display using the following icons:

High—the picture size is 1152 x 864 pixels. This is the default setting. Use this setting when your pictures are to be printed.

Standard—the picture size is 640 x 480 pixels. Use this setting when the pictures are for email or on-line use.

The Resolution setting is changed using the Preferences mode. See “Resolution” on page 4-3 for more information.

Quality

You may set your camera to capture pictures in a Good, Better, or Best quality setting. The Quality setting indicates how much the picture is compressed to sav e space on the memory card. Your pictures include more detail with the Best or Better setting, but they will use more memory on the card than with the Good setting.

You may switch freely between the three settings when taking pictures. The number of pictures the DC200/DC210 is able to store will vary accordingly.

The Quality setting is indicated on the Status Display using the following icons:

Best—you can store approximately 4 pictures per 1 MB of storage at this Quality setting and when the Resolution is set to High. Use this setting when image quality is very important for maximum picture quality, especially for larger sized or zoom prints.

Better—you can store approximately 6 pictures per 1 MB of storage at this Quality setting and when the Resolution is set to High. Use this setting for a good picture quality and to store a large number of pictures. This setting is good for general picture taking.

Good—you can store approximately 9 pictures per 1 MB of storage at this Quality setting and when the Resolution is set to High. Use this setting to maximize the number of pictures stored.

The Quality setting is changed using the Preferences mode. See “Quality” on page 4-2 for more information.

Batteries

The DC200/DC210 comes with four AA batteries. Standard 1.5V alkaline, 1.5V lithium, or rechargeable 1.2V Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries may be used.

The battery power icon changes automatically. You may not select or change this icon.

Full—batteries are fully charged.

Low—batteries need to be replaced.

Blinking—batteries are insufﬁcient to run camera and need to

be replaced.

☞ Pictures on memory cards are not lost if batteries are depleted.

To install the batteries:

1 Place your thumb on the battery door. 2 Slide the battery door away from the camera. 3 Insert the batteries as indicated on the battery

cover and close the battery door.

☞ Remove the batteries if the camera will not

be used for an extended period of time. This extends battery life and prevents camera damage from battery leaks or corrosion. If the batteries are removed from the camera for more than a few minutes the date and time will be deleted and must be reset.

Chap1newBook Page 13 Friday, February 5, 1999 7:02 AM

Battery Usage Guidelines

Always follow your battery manufacturer’s directions fully. Do not attempt to disassemble, recharge, short circuit, or subject the battery to high temperature or ﬁre. When removing, batteries may be hot, allow them to cool before touching.

Dispose of batteries according to Federal and Local Regulations. Failure to replace the batteries when they are low may cause the DC210 to shut

down with the camera lens extended. Your camera has been designed to operate correctly using a variety of AA-size

batteries currently available. These include 1.5-volt alkaline, 1.5-volt lithium, or

1.2-volt Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) and Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries. NOT ALL BATTERIES ARE CREATED EQUAL! Battery life depends

signiﬁcantly on age, usage conditions, type and brand. Digital camera requirements are very demanding on batteries. Not all battery brands perform well under these challenging conditions. In Kodak lab tests, Ni-MH rechargeable batteries delivered the best results in a variety of conditions. Ni-MH batteries are designed for high demand devices like digital cameras, and do not exhibit the “memory” effects seen with other rechargeable technologies. Kodak offers NiMH rechargeable batteries (with charger) as an optional accessory. Refer to catalog number 152 7068 (U.S. and Canada), 852 2344 (Europe), 867 9953 (UK), 870 8141 (Asia), 910 7632 (Japan).

Capture

If you elect to use alkaline batteries in your camera, you will obtain better performance from “photo-ﬂash grade” alkaline batteries, such as KODAK PHOTOLIFE Alkaline Batteries. These types of batteries last more than twice as long in digital cameras as ordinary alkaline batteries.

Ni-Cd batteries work well in digital cameras, but typically have the shortest “duty cycle,” or usable power provided between charges.

Lithium batteries typically provide the longest overall battery life, but carry a higher cost-per-picture than other non-rechargeable battery types.

When using your camera on battery power, we recommend you limit continuous LCD “Preview” or “Review” to less than 20-minutes per session. If you anticipate using your camera for longer periods in these modes, it is recommended that you do so with the camera powered by the AC adapter.

The camera can connect to a computer using the serial cable included in your camera package. In order to connect the DC200/DC210, you need to ﬁnd an available serial (COM) port on your PC. Most PCs come conﬁgured with two serial communication ports labeled COM1 and Com2, or A and B. These COM ports are usually labeled on the back of your PC. If they are not labeled, see your computer’s user guide for a diagram that illustrates all your external ports on the back of your PC.

☞ For more information on serial cable connection, refer to “Resolving

COM Port Connectivity problems for IBM-Type PCs, with KODAK Digital Cameras” section in the readme ﬁle on the DC200/DC210 software CD, or click “Service and Support” on the Kodak Web site at http://www.kodak.com.

To connect to your computer with a serial cable:

1 Set the Mode dial to Connect.

2 Plug one end of the serial cable into a COM port

on the back of your PC.

☞ If your computer has a 25-pin port, you need

to use an optional 9-pin adapter (available at your local computer store) and attach it to the port before attaching the serial cable to the computer.

3 Open the serial port on the side of your camera. 4 Plug the other end of the serial cable into the

camera’s serial port.

5 Turn on the camera.

To cancel connection: turn the Mode dial to another setting or turn the camera off.

Chap1newBook Page 2 Friday, February 5, 1999 7:02 AM

Printing

You may notice that the colors on your computer screen do not always match those in your documents or prints. This is because monitors and printers use different color systems.

You may be able to achieve more predictable results in your printed documents by:

✔ improving the quality of your paper. Copier paper may not offer the same

results as coated paper or paper made especially for ink jet printers.

✔ adjusting your printer software settings. ✔ using fresh ink cartridges. Do not use ink cartridges beyond their

life expectancy.

Remember these few tips when it comes time to print your document:

✔ color printing takes more time. The more complex your document is

increases the printing and drying time.

✔ color printing is more memory intensive than black and white. If your

computer gives you an insufﬁcient memory message, you may need to close some applications, change some settings, or add additional memory.

✔ color prints may not photocopy as clearly as black and white. If you plan

to photocopy documents, you may consider printing the document in gray scale. This setting is usually changed from the Print menu.

✔ resizing the picture to a smaller size or printing the picture on glossy

paper may increase the quality of the print.

To improve the quality of your prints, you may want to print your pictures on KODAK Inkjet Snapshot Paper (Snapshot Paper). Snapshot Paper is made to work with most inkjet printers to give you clearer, crisper, and more detailed images on your prints.
