Storing pictures on an SD or MMC card

Your camera has internal memory. You can purchase an SD or MMC card to conveniently store more pictures and videos (www.kodak.com/go/z885accessories). 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.

Place camera on a tripod or flat surface.

In most Still modes, press the Self-Timer/Burst button

• Once for a 10-second delay (so you have time to get into the scene)

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.

14 www.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.

Taking panoramic pictures

Use panorama to “stitch” up to 3 pictures into a panoramic scene. NOTE: For best results, use a tripod. Individual pictures are not saved, even if panorama capture is

cancelled before stitching occurs. (Picture size is set to 5.0 MP for each picture. Exposure Compensation, White Balance, Exposure Metering, AF Zone, AF Control, Color Mode, and Sharpness are set with the first picture. The flash is set to Off.)

1 Turn the Mode dial to SCN.

2 Press on the 4-way button to highlight Panorama Left-Right or Panorama

Right-Left (depending on the direction you want to pan), then press the OK button.

3 Take the first picture.

After a quickview, the LCD displays the liveview and an “overlay” from the first picture.

4 Compose the second picture. Make the overlay from the first picture cover the

same portion in the new picture. (You can press the Delete button to re-take a picture.)

5 If you are taking only 2 pictures, press the OK button to stitch them together.

After you take 3 pictures, the pictures are automatically stitched together.

Important safety instructions

CAUTION: Do not disassemble this product; there are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Kodak AC adapters

and battery chargers are intended for indoor use only. The use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified herein may result in exposure to shock and/or electrical or mechanical hazards. If the LCD breaks, do not touch the glass or liquid. Contact Kodak customer support.

■ The use of an accessory that is not recommended by Kodak may cause fire, electric

shock, or injury. For approved accessories, visit www.kodak.com/go/accessories.

■ Use only a USB-certified computer equipped with a current-limiting motherboard.

Contact your computer manufacturer if you have questions.

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.

Warranty

Limited warranty

Kodak warrants Kodak consumer electronic products and accessories ("Products"), excluding batteries, to be free from malfunctions and defects in both materials and workmanship for one year from the date of purchase.

Kodak will repair or replace Products if they fail to function properly during the warranty period, subject to any conditions and/or limitations stated herein. Warranty service will include all labor as well as any necessary adjustments and/or replacement parts. If Kodak is unable to repair or replace a Product, Kodak will, at its option, refund the purchase price paid for the Product provided the Product has been returned to Kodak along with proof of the purchase price paid. Repair, replacement, or refund of the purchase price are the sole remedies under the warranty.

If replacement parts are used in making repairs, those parts may be remanufactured, or may contain remanufactured materials. If it is necessary to replace the entire Product, it may be replaced with a remanufactured Product. Remanufactured Products, parts and materials are warranted for the remaining warranty term of the original Product, or 90 days after the date of repair or replacement, whichever is longer.

Limitations

This warranty does not cover circumstances beyond Kodak’s control. This warranty does not apply when failure is due to shipping damage, accident, alteration, modification, unauthorized service, misuse, abuse, use with incompatible accessories

Appendix

or attachments (such as third party ink or ink tanks), failure to follow Kodak’s operation, maintenance or repacking instructions, failure to use items supplied by Kodak (such as adapters and cables), or claims made after the duration of this warranty.

Kodak makes no other express or implied warranty for this product, and disclaims the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. In the event that the exclusion of any implied warranty is

ineffective under the law, the duration of the implied warranty will be one year from the purchase date or such longer period as required by law.

The option of repair, replacement, or refund is Kodak’s only obligation. Kodak will not be responsible for any special, consequential or incidental damages resulting from the sale, purchase, or use of this product regardless of the cause. Liability for any special, consequential or incidental damages (including but not limited to loss of revenue or profit, downtime costs, loss of the use of the equipment, cost of substitute equipment, facilities or services, or claims of your customers for such damages resulting from the purchase use or failure of the Product), regardless of cause or for breach of any written or implied warranty is expressly disclaimed.

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. Some states or jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state to state or by jurisdiction.

Outside the United States and Canada

In countries other than the United States and Canada, the terms and conditions of this warranty may be different.
