Shooting in Ful ly Automatic Mode

When shooting pictures with the fully automatic, or Programmed AE, mode the camera automatically sets the f-number and shutter speed based on the brightness of the subject. All you do is take the picture.

You can set a specific ISO speed, or leave the default at Auto (page 39).

2 Press the Shutter button half-way to lock in

the focus and exposure.

3 Press the Shutter button completely down

to take the picture.

Shooting in Manual Mode

Use Manual mode when you want to control exposure, instead of using the

camera’s automatic settings. Consider using a hand-held light meter to help you determine your settings.

When shooting pictures in Manual mode, you choose the f-number and the shutter speed. You can set a specific ISO s peed if you wish (page 39).

f/5.6—moderate depth of field, m aking the foregr ound sh arp wit h slight blurri ng of the background.

Once the camera is connected to a computer and any required software is installed, you are ready to transfer pictures from the camera to your computer. Refer to the online help for information on each software application supplied with the camera.

You can also download your pictures using a Picture Card reader. If you do not have a car d reader, you can purchase one as an ac cessory. For details about available accessories, ask a d ealer of KODAK products, or visit our Web site at http://www.kodak.com/go/accessories.

Using a USB Cable Connection

Follow the directions below to connect your camera to your computer (WINDOWS 98 or 2000-based or MACINTOSH) using the USB cable provided with your camera.

When connecting the camera and downloading pictures, the battery is drained at a fast rate, so use the AC adapter when possible.

1 Plug the appropriate end of t he USB cable

into the port on your co m puter marked with the USB symbol.

If the port is not labeled, see your

computer User’s Guide for a diagram that illustrates all of the external ports.

2 Open the door on the side of the camera. 3 Plug the other e nd of the USB ca ble i nt o t he

camera USB port.

4 Turn on the camera.

On a WINDOWS-based computer, a window appears showing the contents of the Picture Card.

On a MACINTOSH computer, a camera icon appears on the desktop. If a message is displayed on your comput er statin g that you are not

connected, refer to the PDF document installed with the software (USB.PDF for PC or Connect.PDF for MACINTOSH), or the online help for troubleshooting informat ion.

To access the pictures on your Picture Card, see “Starting KODAK Digital Camera So ftware” on page69.

Starting KODAK Digital Camera Software

With the camera connected to your computer, you are now ready to open and use the software that you installed in Chapter 6. For details on using the software, refer to the online help.

WINDOWS-based computers

To access online help, open My Computer, right-click the camera icon, and then choose Camera Help from the context menu. Or choose Start → Program → Kodak → DC480 0 → Help.

MAC I N TOSH comput ers

1 Double-click the camera icon on the desktop. 2 To view the pictures on the Picture Card, double-click the DCIM folder and

then double-click the 100K4800 folder.

You can access online help by choosing Camera → Camera Help from the Finder menu.

Locating Your Pictures on the Picture Card

Pictures are stored on the KODAK Picture Card according to a standard agreed upon by many camera manufacturers. This st andard allows you to use the Picture Card in different cam eras.

If you use a card reader to retr ieve your pictures or you cannot locate your pictures using the software, the following description of the camera file structure may be helpful.

MISC folder—contains the Print Order file created when you use the Print Order function.

System folder—used for updating camera firmware.

DCIM folder—the root level folder, it contains the 100K4800 folder. Each time you turn on the camera or insert a different Picture Card, any empty folders within the DCIM folder are removed.

100K4800—a subfolder in the DCIM folder that stores all the pictures taken with the camera. The first time you use the Picture Card, the camera creates a folder named 100K4800. In unusual circumstances, other similarly named folders (e.g., 101K4800) are created. For example, when you use the Picture Card in a different digital camera, or if the 100K4800 folder becomes full.

Picture Naming Conventions

Still pi ctures are nam ed DCP_nnnn.JPG or DCP_nnnn.TIF, where nnnn repr esents a picture number bet w een 0001 and 9999. Pictures are num bered in the order in which they are taken. For example, the first picture in the \DCIM\1 00K4800 folder is DCP_00 01.JPG. The camera maintains a count of the number of pictures taken, which is used to determine the number of the next picture taken.

Burst pictures (still pictures taken in rapid succession when the camera is in Burst Mod e) are named Bmm_nnnn.JPG, where mm is a bur st number from 00 to 99, and nnnn is a sequence number within the burst.

Even i f you transfer pictures to the comp uter or delete pictures from the Picture Card, the camera uses consecutive numbers for all subse quent pictures. For example, if the last picture taken was DCP_0007.JPG, the next picture is DCP_0008.JPG. The nnnn sequence num ber for a burst continues in the same way. A burst of four pictures taken after DCP_0008 are named B01_0009 through B01_0012.

When you in se rt a different P ic t u re Car d int o yo ur camera, th e ne xt picture number is derived by incrementing the higher of the last picture taken by the camera, or the highest existi ng picture number in the folder on the card.

When you insert the Picture Card into a different DC4800 camera, the next pi cture number is deri ved by incrementing either the highest existing picture number or the highest picture number previously taken by that camera.

After you take picture DCP_9999.JPG in the \DCI M \100K4800 f older, subsequent pictures appear in a new folder (\DCIM\101K4 800) on the Picture Card, beginning with picture DCP_0001.JPG.

If you use the Picture Card in a ca m era other th an the DC4800 camera, and that camera manufacturer adheres to this file structure standard, the \DCIM folder contains a folder named by that camera. Any pictures taken with that camera are stored in the folder using the naming conventions established by the manufacturer. For more information, refer to the documentation that accompanied that camera.

8 Tips and Troubleshooting

There may be times when you have questions about using your camera. This chapter can point you in the right directi o n for finding th e answers q uickly, so you can continue using your camera.

Connec ti n g Your Camera

If you are getting mes sages on your comp uter that state you are not connected, refer to the PDF documents installed with the software, or the online help for troubleshooting information. If you are connecting to a:

Windows -based USB co nnection—refer to USB.PDF

Macintosh computer—refer to Connect.PDF

Adjusting Your Monitor for Better Viewing

Your monitor display settings may need to be adjusted to view pictures from the camera. Refer to your computer User’s Guide for information on how to adjust your monitor display settings.

Getting Better R esu l ts from Your Printer

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 differ en t co lo r sys te m s.

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

Improv ing the qual ity of your paper. Copier paper may not offer th e same results as coated paper or paper made especially for inkjet printers.

Adjusting your printer software settings.

Using fresh ink cartridges. Do not use in k cartridges beyond th eir life expect ancy.

Remember these few tips for printing your pictures:

Color printing takes more time than black and white. More complex pictures increase 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 no t photocopy as clearly as black and wh ite. If you plan to photocopy documents, you should consider printing the document in grayscale. This setting is usually changed from the Print dialog box.

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 picture s on KOD AK Inkj et S napsh ot Pa pe r (Sn aps ho t Paper ). S naps hot Paper is made to w ork with most inkjet printers to g ive you clearer, crisper, and more detailed images on your prints.

Troubleshooting

If you ar e experiencing difficulties with your camera, check the fo llowing tables for possible solutions.
