The Kodak EasyShare DX6340 is a digital still camera. These instructions will walk you through
the basics of using the camera.
Begin by turning on the camera. You move the mode dial clockwise to the Auto position to turn
on the camera.
The Ready light will blink green as the camera warms up and performs diagnostic checks.
When the Ready light glows solid green the camera is ready to take photos.
The back of the camera includes an LCD display that you can use while you take your
photographs. To turn on the display press the OK button in the middle of the mode dial, pictured
above. Note that using the display will reduce the battery life of the camera.
In order to fit the maximum number of photographs in the camera’s memory it is advisable that
you take your photos in Good or Better quality. Picture quality is configured from the camera’s
menu. Make sure the camera is powered on. Press the Menu button on the camera to show the
picture quality setting.
Press the button to highlight Quality then press the OK button in the middle of the
mode dial. Highlight either Good or Better picture quality settings. Press the OK button in the
middle of the mode dial to exit the menu. The picture quality setting will remain the same until it
is changed.
Once you have set the picture quality you are ready to start taking your photographs.
Make sure the camera is powered on by turning the mode dial to Auto. If you wish you may turn
on the display on the back of the camera by pressing the OK button in the middle of the mode
dial. Otherwise, frame your subject in the viewfinder on the back of the camera.
The camera is equipped with an optical zoom that allows you to get “closer” to your subject. The
optical zoom is most effective when you are at least 20 inches from your subject. When the
camera is first powered on the lens extends to the Wide Angle position. Use the viewfinder or the
camera’s display to frame your subject. Then use the Telephoto (T) button to zoom in, or the
Wide Angle (W) button to zoom out.
Additionally, the camera is equipped with a flash. You use the flash indoors, at night, or outdoors
when there is heavy shadow. Press the Flash button repeatedly to cycle through the various
flash options.
Auto Flash: The flash will fire when lighting conditions require it.
Flash Off: The flash will not fire with this setting.
Fill Flash: The flash will fire every time you take a picture regardless of the
lighting conditions.
Red-eye: The flash will flash once to get the subject’s eyes used to the flash,
then a second time when the photo is taken for illumination. The flash may not
fire a second time if lighting conditions do not require it.
