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.

2-10

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.

2

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.

2-12

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.

2-13

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.

Infrared Connection ÑDC210 Only

The camera can connect to a computer using an infrared transceiver
connection.Your computer must be set up with an infrared connection before the
camera’s infrared transceiver can be used.

Refer to the instructions included with your computer’s infrared connection
package for more details on setting up an infrared transceiver connection.
Additional information is available in the README file on the DC200/DC210
software CD.

Serial Cable Connection

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.

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.

☞ If you need extreme precision in matching printed output to your computer

screen, you may want to consider purchasing a calibration system. The aim
of a calibration system is to match, as close as possible, the printed image to
the image on your computer screen. Please consult your local computer
dealer for more information.

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 DIGITAL SCIENCE 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.
