Preparing to Take Pictures
Before you start taking pictures with your camera, you first need to install
the batteries or connect a Kodak-specified AC adapter for power, and
insert a KODAK Picture Card (camera memory card) into the camera.
Loading Batteries
Your camera uses four AA batteries to power the camera. For your
convenience, two sets of batteries are included with your camera: four
alkaline batteries, and four Ni-MH rechargeable batteries with battery
charger. The alkaline batteries are provided so you can start using your
camera immediately. The rechargeable batteries need to be charged first,
before using them in the camera. Although both types of batteries work
in your camera, do not mix different types of batteries in the camera at the
same time.
For information on guidelines for battery usage, see page 91.
Turning the Camera On and Off
You turn the camera on and off using the POWER switch, located on the
back of the camera.
1 Place your thumb on the battery door.
2 Slide the battery door away from
the camera.
