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).

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.

Zoom ÑDC210 Only

The DC210 comes equipped with a 2X zoom lens that allows you to zoom in on your subject from Wide Angle (29mm) to TelePhoto (58mm).

Wide Angle T elePhoto

To activate the zoom:

1 Set the Mode dial to Capture. 2 Turn the camera on. 3 Press the ZOOM button.

The subject will appear closer or farther away when you look through the viewﬁnder and press the ZOOM button.

The camera’s default lens position is Wide Angle. All other lens positions are considered T elePhoto settings.

General Maintenance and Safety

✔ To keep from damaging your DC200/DC210, avoid exposing it to

moisture and extreme temperatures.

✔ Clean the outside of the DC200/DC210 by wiping with a clean, dry cloth.

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.
