Settings you change in C modes apply only to pictures taken in those modes.

For example, if you change the Color Mode to Sepia while in C mode, you still retain the default setting of Color for Auto and SCN modes.

Aperture—also known as f-stop or f-number, controls the size of the lens opening, which determines the depth of field. Smaller f-numbers, for example f/2.8, refer to a bigger lens opening. Larger f-numbers, for example f/8, refer to a smaller lens opening.

Larger f-numbers keep the main subject sharp; good for landscapes and well-lit conditions. Smaller f-numbers are good for portraits and low-light conditions. The highest and lowest aperture numbers may be affected by optical zoom.

Shutter Speed—controls how long the shutter stays open. A shaking hand icon

warns of slow shutter speeds. (Use a tripod for slow shutter speeds.)

Exposure Compensation—lets you manually adjust the exposure (

1/3 steps); good for controlling backlit or non-standard scenes. If the picture is too

Battery information

Kodak battery replacement types/battery life

Actual battery life may vary based on usage.

Li-Ion rechargeable battery (per charge)

Battery life per CIPA testing method. (Approximate number of pictures in Auto mode, using internal memory

)

We recommend using only a Kodak Li-Ion rechargeable digital camera battery KLIC-5001. Not all manufacturers’ 3.7V Li-Ion rechargeable batteries are compatible with the camera. Damage caused by unauthorized accessories is not covered under warranty.

Optional battery: You can use a Kodak Li-Ion rechargeable digital camera battery, KLIC-5000, but it is a lower power battery. Expect approximately 30% fewer pictures per full charge than with the KLIC-5001 (or equivalent) battery included with your camera.

Extending battery life

■ Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:

– Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen (see page 12)

– Using the camera screen, instead of the EVF, as a viewfinder.

– Excessive use of the flash (see page 37) and Continuous AF (see page 49).

■ 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.

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.
