We recommend Kodak SD or MMC cards.
NOTE: When using the card for the first time, format the card in this camera before taking pictures
(page 43). To choose a storage location for pictures and videos, see page 41.

Using the framing grid to compose a picture
The framing grid divides the LCD into thirds—vertically and horizontally. This is
helpful if, for example, you want to balance a picture between water, earth, and sky.
To turn on/off the framing grid, see page 41.
Using exposure compensation to adjust picture
brightness
In P/M and Panorama modes, you can adjust exposure compensation before you take
a picture to make your pictures darker or lighter. Only the first picture in Panorama
mode can be adjusted, then the adjusted setting is applied to the remaining pictures
before stitching occurs (see page 16).
1 Press to decrease exposure compensation.
2 Press to increase exposure compensation.
An exposure compensation level between -2.0 and +2.0 is shown on the LCD as the LCD
image gets darker or lighter.
3 Take the picture when you are satisfied with the exposure compensation level.
14www.kodak.com/go/support
Taking pictures/videos
Using the histogram to view picture brightness
Use the histogram to evaluate the distribution of light before or after you take a
picture. If the peak is to the right of the graph, the subject is bright; if it’s to the left,
the subject is dark. Optimal exposure is achieved when the peak is in the middle of
the histogram.
To turn on the histogram in P/M mode or in Review,
press the Info button until the histogram
appears.
NOTE: If a scene is dark or light, you can adjust the exposure
compensation (see page 14) before taking the picture. The
flash may affect a picture’s light and shadow.

Appendix
Extending battery life
■ See Auto Power Off (see page 42).
■ Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:
– Reviewing your pictures on the LCD (see page 19)
– Excessive use of the flash
■ Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a clean,
dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.
■ Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41° F (5° C). When using
your camera in cold weather, carry spare batteries and keep them warm. Do not
discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature,
they may be usable.
Care and maintenance
■ If you suspect water has gotten inside the camera, remove the battery and card.
Allow all components to air-dry for at least 24 hours before using the camera.
■ Blow gently on the lens or LCD to remove dust and dirt. Wipe gently with a soft,
lint-free cloth or an untreated lens-cleaning tissue. Do not use cleaning solutions
unless designed specifically for camera lenses. Do not allow chemicals, such as
suntan lotion, to contact painted surfaces.
■ Service agreements may be available in your country. Contact a dealer of Kodak
products for more information.
■ For digital camera disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities.

resulting from the purchase use or failure of the Product), regardless of cause or for

Your rights
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
