Page 21 Batteries This is a display icon only. You cannot select or change this icon. The camera comes equipped with four AA batteries. You can use standard 1.5V alkaline, 1.7V lithium, rechargeable 1.2 NiMH, or rechargeable 1.2V NiCad batteries. NiMH tend to give the best overall performance of rechargeable batteries.
Page 22 Manual Mode The DC260 Camera supports two advanced capture modes—the external ﬂash mode and the long time mode. The DC220 Camera supports only the long time mode. The two manual mode icons are: External ﬂash mode— disabled and the external ﬂash sync is used to provide ﬂash. You set the camera aperture setting (or f/stop).
Page 23: Removable Memory Card
In order to communicate with the camera and the PC, the removable memory card requires the same standard DOS format that is used by ﬂoppy diskettes. The DC220 and DC260 offer you the format option if the camera doesn’t recognize the format of the card when it is inserted into the camera.
Page 24: Removing The Memory Card
Pull the memory card out of the camera. For a more detailed discussion of the memory card, the PCMCIA card, and the KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE Picture Card Adapter, refer to “Placing the memory card in your computer” on page 7-7.

Page 68: Connecting Your Camera To Your Computer
Connecting your camera to your computer A ﬁrst step to using your digital pictures on your computer is to connect your camera to your computer. The camera can communicate with your computer using: an RS232 serial connection a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection an infrared transceiver It is a good idea to use the AC Adapter when connecting to your computer to conserve battery power.
Page 69: Which Connection
Which connection? Which connection should you use to transfer pictures between your camera and computer? That depends on which connections your computer supports. The following sections will help you determine the connections that your PC supports. You specify the type of connection you are using through the Camera Properties software.
Page 70: Connecting Via A Serial Cable
RS-232 connectors are the standard ports located on the back of the PC. They are usually labeled A and B. The typical computer user should use this method of communicating with the camera. To determine if your computer supports an RS232 connection: Click the right mouse button on the My Computer icon on your computer’s desktop.
Page 71: Usb
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a relatively new method for your camera to communicate with the PC. A USB connection is faster than an RS-232 serial connection increasing the maximum data transfer rate to 12 Mb/sec. USB requires special computer hardware and software features including a USB enabled motherboard, USB connections, and a version of WINDOWS 95 (called Win95B or OSR2).
Page 72: Connecting Via A Usb Cable
connection. If your computer meets all the conditions except that no USB Supplement to OSR2 is present, refer to the README ﬁle for instructions on installing the USB Supplement. Connecting via a USB cable The camera can connect to a computer using the USB cable included in your camera package.
Page 73 IrDA 1.0 has the same maximum data transfer rate of the serial port, 115 Kb per second. Remember that infrared communication usually requires system resources that are used by the serial port. On most computers you will have to disable the serial port and enable the infrared port for infrared communication to work and reverse these settings if you wish to use your serial port again.
Page 74: Connecting Via An Infrared Transceiver
Connecting via an infrared transceiver Your camera automatically detects when a compatible infrared device is present. Place the camera facing the computer’s infrared transceiver. When the two infrared ports establish contact, the PC emits a beep. While in the Review mode, you can transfer pictures from one camera to another using an infrared connection.
