Taking Pictures - Kodak DC265 User Manual

Taking pictures

Taking any kind of picture, still, burst, or time-lapse is basically the same. The
only difference is the amount of time you hold down the Shutter button. For the
fastest response when taking a picture, press and hold the Shutter button halfway
down until the green Ready light illuminates. Then, press the Shutter button the
rest of the way. You do not need to hold the camera still while the green Ready
light is blinking. You are not able to take another picture until it stops blinking.
To take a picture:
For still pictures, press and release the Shutter button.
For burst pictures, hold down the Shutter button for as long as you want
the camera to fire.
The camera stops firing when the available memory is used or when you
release the Shutter button. The resolution and quality of your pictures,
set in the burst picture settings, dictate how quickly the memory is
consumed. Refer to page 3-5 for more information.
For time-lapse pictures, press and release the Shutter button.
The camera fires at the interval set in the time-lapse picture settings. It
continues to fire until you press the Shutter button again, press Stop, or
until the maximum number of pictures, set in the time-lapse picture
settings, is taken. Refer to page 3-5 for more information. If you set a
long interval between time-lapse pictures, the camera appears to turn
itself off to save batteries. It turns itself back on to take the next picture.
If you are taking burst or time-lapse pictures, the color LCD
displays the picture after the last picture in the series is taken. You
can only record sound when the picture sequence is complete and
the last picture is displayed.
