GETTING READY FOR USE

Charge the Device

Before using the camera, connect it to the charger by plugging the micro USB cable into the designated micro USB charging port on the bottom and allow it to fully charge. Always use the original charger that was provided to ensure proper charging.

If the red indicator LED light is flashing, this means that the battery is low and you should plug the camera in for it to recharge. While the camera is charging, the indicator LED will be a solid red light. Once the process has completed, the indicator LED will change to a solid green light.

Load the Paper

Load your ZINK paper into the camera: Follow the steps below to quickly and easily get your new camera loaded with ZINK® sticky-back paper so you can start printing photos!

1. Open the paper tray in the back by pressing down on the latch and pulling it toward you.
   
2. Place the blue calibration sheet in the tray with the barcode facing down. Place the other plain sheets on top, with the glossy side facing you. Try to avoid touching the glossy side to prevent getting fingerprints on the paper.
3. When you print your first photo after loading the ZINK paper, the blue calibration sheet will be slowly ejected from the printing slot.
4. Your photo will print after the calibration sheet finishes.
   

Note: Only KODAK ZINK paper will work in your KODAK SMILE camera. Other branded papers are not compatible.

Power it On/Off

To turn the camera on, slide the ridged panel away from the center. This will expose the navigation panel, camera lens, and flash, and the LCD screen on the back will light up. The camera will also beep a musical tune to let you know it is powered on.

To turn the camera off, simply slide the panel back toward the center.

Insert a MicroSD Card

The camera has limited internal memory and can only store three photos at a time; a microSD card is necessary if you wish to edit and save more than three photos to print out later. The SMILE can perform without a microSD card, but using one is strongly recommended.

Insert the microSD card into the slot at the bottom when the camera lens is exposed, with the metal pins facing the front of the camera.

To remove, press the card in gently with your fingernail, and it should pop out.

The SMILE supports microSD cards up to 256GB.

NAVIGATING THE MENU

There are six options on the KODAK SMILE Camera menu, which is accessed by pressing the top button on the navigation panel and using the arrow keys to move between options. This section will review those options and their usage.

GALLERY

Select the Gallery icon from the main menu to view your photos. From the Gallery you can edit and print any photos you've previously taken with your SMILE camera, or any existing images already on your microSD card.

After selecting Gallery from the main menu, you will need to choose between photos stored in internal memory and the SD card. Make your selection, then use the arrow keys to cycle through the photos you've taken. The pictures will have two options at the bottom: EDIT, and PRINT.

Press the OK button to enter the EDIT menu, which will give you three options: filter , border , and delete . Select Filter to pick between filter options for your photo. Select Border to add a white border to your photo, or keep it borderless. Select Delete and you will be prompted one more time to be certain you want to delete the photo. Hit OK to delete the photo from your SD card.

Hit PRINT at any time to print the photo as is from your gallery. You will be asked to confirm by hitting the OK button before the photo prints out.

NOTE: Without a microSD card, the camera can only save the 3 most recent photos that were taken. We highly recommend using a microSD card to get the most out of your KODAK SMILE Camera.

FILTER

The Filter menu offers a variety of filters to choose from that will be applied to your photo. Press the OK button and then use the arrows to navigate through the filters available. The LCD screen will give you a live preview of that filter; press the OK button again to confirm and apply the filter.

BORDERS

The Borders menu offers the option to add a border to your photo. Press the OK button to open the Borders menu. The Borders menu gives you two options to choose from: Off and On.

• Off: a photo with no border. If you choose this option, you'll be taken back to the live viewfinder.
• On: a photo with a border. If you choose this, you'll be taken to the live viewfinder with a solid white border around the image. There will be an icon on the bottom

PHOTOBOOTH

The Photobooth menu allows you to print out two photos side-by-side in the same image.

• The live viewfinder will give you guidelines to make sure your image fits within the space allotted, and there will be an icon on the bottom right side of the status bar in the live viewfinder to indicate booth mode status.
• Tap the shutter button once and you'll see guidelines for you to take your first shot on the screen. For the second shot, the other side of the screen will be active, and the first image you captured will be visible on the left side of the image.
• The camera will stay in photobooth mode until you return to the border menu and deactivate it, or until you turn the camera off, so you can take as many photobooth style shots as you want!

FLASH

Use the arrows to highlight the Flash icon and press the OK button to open the Flash menu.
Use the arrows to cycle through the options: Flash On , Flash Off , and Auto Flash .

SETTINGS

The Settings menu allows you to access and adjust multiple camera settings. The options available in the settings menu are as follows:

When you take a photo with the timer applied, the camera flash will blink once each second as a countdown. The timer will remain applied until you manually re-enter the timer menu and turn it off, or until you turn the camera off, so take as many timed shots as you want!

Select the Volume icon from the settings menu to open the volume menu. Use the arrow keys to raise and lower the volume of key presses and the shutter sound when taking a picture.
