Flash
The DC200/DC210 is equipped with a built-in flash that offers an optional redeye reduction feature. The flash has an effective range of approximately 2.23 to
9.84 ft. (0.7 to 3 m) for the DC200, and 1.6 to 9.8 ft. (0.5 to 3 m) for the DC210.
There are five Flash settings:
Auto—flash fires automatically when the SHUTTER button is
pressed and the camera determines that there is not enough light.
This is the default setting.
Auto Red-eye—works the same as auto flash except the flash fires
once before the picture is taken to reduce the chance of red-eye and
then flashes a second time when the picture is taken.
Fill—flash fires every time you press the SHUTTER button. Use this
setting when the lighting is poor or when your subject is lit
from behind.
Fill Red-eye—works the same as fill flash except the flash fires once
before the picture is taken to reduce the chance of red-eye and then
flashes a second time when the picture is taken.
Off—flash is turned off and will not fire.

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.

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).

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.

Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on the camera or
any of its parts.
✔ Never disassemble or touch the inside of the DC200/DC210. This could
result in electrical shock.
✔ If you notice smoke or a strange smell coming from the DC200/DC210,
immediately turn the camera off, wait a few minutes until the camera
cools, and then remove the batteries.
✔ Cleaning the lens and back LCD screen:
1 Blow gently on the lens or LCD screen to remove dust and dirt.
2 Moisten the lens or LCD screen by breathing lightly on it.
3 Wipe the lens or LCD screen 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 screen with chemically treated eyeglass lens tissue as it
may scratch the lens.
✔ Service agreements are available in some countries. Please contact your
Kodak dealer for more information.
