1 Setting up your camera
Lights are on while the charger is
plugged in. (See the charger
documentation for instructions
and charging times.)
All batteries lose power over time–even if they’re not being
used. For longer life, fully charge KODAK Ni-MH
Rechargeable Batteries AA prior to use.
Your plug may differ.
IMPORTANT! If your package includes:
■ Ni-MH batteries and a charger, continue to Charging the rechargeable batteries.
■ Alkaline batteries (and no charger), skip to Loading the batteries, page 2. (You
may purchase Ni-MH rechargeable AA batteries and a charger at
www.kodak.com/go/accessories.)
Charging the rechargeable batteries
Charging time varies by battery level. For expected battery life, see page 63.

CAUTION:
Accessory
Storing pictures on an SD/SDHC Card
Your camera has enough internal memory for a couple of practice pictures. We highly
recommend purchasing a Class 4 or higher SD/SDHC Card (up to 32 GB) to
conveniently store more pictures/videos. (Card class is typically shown on the card
and/or packaging.) You must use a Class 4 or higher card to record HD video.
NOTE: Your camera also accepts Eye-Fi Cards, X2 or higher with a firmware version of 4.5174 or higher.
(View and update firmware using the Eye-Fi Center Software that accompanies the card.)
A card can only be inserted one way; forcing it may cause
damage. Inserting or removing a card while the camera is on may
damage the pictures, the card, or the camera.
1 Turn off the camera, then open the door.
2 Insert a card until it clicks into place.
To remove a card, press and release it.
IMPORTANT:
When you turn on the camera, it checks to
see if a card is inserted. If pictures/videos
are detected in internal memory, the
camera prompts you to move them to the
card. New pictures/videos are stored on the
card.
