AUTO General picture-taking—offers an excellent balance of image quality

Portrait Portrait (default) —full-frame portraits of people. Allows the

subject to be sharp and the background to be indistinct. For best
results, position your subject at least 6 ft (2 m) away and fill the
frame with a head and shoulder pose. Use Telephoto to exaggerate
background blur.

low-light conditions. Place camera on a flat, steady surface or use a
tripod.

Night Landscape —distant scenery at night.

For both settings, the flash does not fire and auto-focus framing
marks (page 7) are not available.

Flower Flower (default) —sharp pictures at close range. The camera

automatically sets the focus distance depending on the zoom
position. The close-up distances from the lens are 3.9–19.7 in.

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

For example, if you change the Color Mode to Sepia while in P, A, S, or M 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,

Larger f-numbers, for example f/8, refer to a smaller
lens opening.

Larger f-numbers keep the main subject sharp;

f-numbers are good for portraits and low-light

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 (

± 2.0 in

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

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.

Additional care and maintenance

■ If the camera has been subjected to inclement weather or you suspect water has

gotten inside the camera, turn off the camera and remove the batteries and card.
Allow all components to air-dry for at least 24 hours before using the camera
again.

■ Blow gently on the lens or camera screen 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.

In countries other than the United States and Canada, the terms and conditions of
this warranty may be different. Unless specific Kodak warranty is communicated to the

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: 1) reorient
