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 rechar geable
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 hav e 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.
