  • Page 8: Preparing To Take Pictures

    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.

  • Page 9: Checking Batteries

For information on guidelines for battery usage, see page 91. Set the Mode dial to Capture, Review, or Camera Settings.

  • Page 10: Using The Battery Charger

    To ensure that you have a constant supply of freshly charged batteries, a battery charger and four AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are provided with some DC240/DC280 cameras. These batteries need to be charged before using and take up to eight hours to fully charge. So you are always prepared to take pictures, keep one set of rechargeable batteries in the camera, and an extra set charged, ready for use.

  • Page 11: Using An Ac Adapter

    Using an AC Adapter If you are taking pictures indoors or when the camera is connected to a computer, you may want to use a Kodak-specified AC adapter to help conserve battery power. It is important to use only a Kodak-specified AC adapter with your DC240/DCD280 camera.
