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.
1Place your thumb on the battery door.
2Slide the battery door away from
the camera.
3Insert the batteries as indicated on the
battery cover, then close the battery door.
qTo turn on the camera, slide the
POWER switch to the right.
The Status Display on top of the
camera turns on.
qTo turn off the camera, slide the
POWER switch again to the right.
The camera turns off when it is
finished processing, deleting, or
transferring the picture just taken.

Checking Batteries
So you are never caught with dead batteries, your camera indicates the
power level of the batteries, in the form of a battery status symbol, which
appears in the Status Display when you turn on the camera.
For information on guidelines for battery usage, see page 91.
1Set the Mode dial to Capture, Review, or
Camera Settings.
The battery status symbol is not visible if
you set the camera to Connect.
2Slide the POWER switch to the right to
turn on the camera.
3Check the battery status symbol that
appears in the Status Display.
qFull (No Icon)—indicates that batteries
are charged and ready to use.
qLow—indicates batteries are not fully
charged and will soon need to be
replaced or recharged.
qExhausted (blinking)—indicates
batteries are too weak to power the
camera and need to be replaced.

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. You can purchase
additional KODAK Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries as an accessory. For
details about available accessories, ask your dealer of Kodak products, or
visit our Website at http://www.kodak.com/go/accessories.
1Verify that you are loading Ni-MH or
Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries. If they are
any other type, do not load them into
the charger.
This charger is for charging Ni-MH or
Ni-Cd batteries only, with a maximum of 4
cells, and a maximum charge of 1450mAH.
Do not charge nonrechargeable batteries.
2Align the positive and negative ends of the
batteries with the positive and negative
contact points in the charger.
3Insert the batteries into the charger until
the batteries snap in place.
4Plug the charger into a power outlet.
Depending on where you live, some
battery chargers are supplied with power
plugs that are not attached to the charger. If
you have that type of charger, use the plug
that matches your power outlet.
5Verify that the charge indicator lights on
the charger turn on. If the lights do not turn
on, verify that the batteries are inserted
correctly.
Batteries are fully charged when the charge
indicator lights on the charger turn off, or
after 8 hours of charging.
6Unplug the charger and remove the
batteries when charging is complete.

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. If you do not have a Kodak-
specified AC adapter, you can purchase one as an accessory. For details
about available accessories, ask your dealer of Kodak products, or visit
our Website at http://www.kodak.com/go/accessories.
1Slide the POWER switch to the right to
turn off the camera.
2Open the AC adapter port door on the side
of the camera.
3Plug the appropriate end of the AC
adapter into the port on the camera.
4Plug the AC adapter into the power outlet.
Depending on where you live, some AC
adapters are supplied with power plugs
that are not attached. If you have that type
of adapter, use the type of plug that
matches your power outlet.
5Slide the POWER switch to the right to
turn on the camera.
The camera is now powered by the
AC adapter.

Previewing a Picture Before it is Taken
If you want to see what a picture looks like before you take it, you can
preview the image on the LCD on the back of your camera. The live
image that appears is very helpful for framing your subject, especially
when using the Close-Up, Digital Zoom, and Border features. If you want
to take pictures in black and white or sepia tone, or to highlight text,
Preview can help you make that decision. With Preview, batteries are
easily drained, so use a Kodak-specified AC adapter whenever possible.
1Set the Mode dial to Capture.
2Slide the POWER switch to the right to
turn on the camera.
3Press the DO-IT button.
The LCD displays a live image with the icons
of activated camera features.
The image in the LCD appears in color
unless you have turned on an effect, such
as black and white or sepia tone, in
which case the effect is applied to the
displayed image. See page 24 for details.
qExposure Compensation—icon
appears in the LCD and Status
Display if you adjusted the camera
exposure. See page 22 for details.
qExposure Lock—icon appears in the
LCD if you locked the exposure. See
page 31 for details.
qBorders—selected border appears
over the picture on the LCD. See page
23 for details.
qDate Stamp—icon appears in the
LCD if you turned on the date stamp.
See page 19 for details.

down to lock in the camera auto focus.
The camera beeps twice and the green ready
light comes on when the camera is set to

is not focused on the subject. Release
the SHUTTER button and recompose
your picture. Press the SHUTTER
button half-way down again to relock
the auto focus on the subject.
If the red flash indicator light next to
the viewfinder blinks, then the flash is

Setting the Flash
When taking pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy shadows,
your pictures need flash. For everyday picture-taking, use the Auto
setting. However, there are times when changing the flash option can
improve your pictures. For instance, if you are taking pictures of people
indoors or at night, you can help reduce the likelihood of red eye by using
the Red-Eye setting. When your subject is outdoors under heavy
shadows, you can eliminate those shadows by using the Fill flash. In
situations where the use of flash is prohibited, as in museums, you can
turn off the flash.
1Set the Mode dial to Capture.
2Slide the POWER switch to the right to
turn on the camera.
3Press the FLASH button to scroll though
the flash options.
The Flash setting icon changes in the
Status Display.
qAuto (No Icon)—fires the flash
automatically when needed. The
camera determines when there is not
enough light.
qOff—turns off the flash.
qFill—fires the flash every time you
take a picture.
qRed-Eye—fires the flash once before
the picture is taken, then fires again
when the picture is taken.
4To return to the Auto setting, press the
FLASH button, or turn off the camera.

imprint the correct date and time, you need to set the camera clock. See
page 7 for details. Once a picture is taken with the date stamp, the date
stamp cannot be removed.

3 Customizing
Your Pictures
Chapters 1 and 2 explained the basics for taking great digital pictures. In
this chapter, you will learn about some of the custom features available
on your camera. Because your camera is so versatile, you have the ability
to set the camera for almost any picture taking situation you may
encounter. With the camera, you can:
qAdjust the exposure for pictures that are too light or too dark.
qFrame your pictures with interesting borders supplied on the
camera memory card and software CD.
qCapture pictures in color, black and white, sepia tone, or highlight
text in documents.
qAdjust the ISO sensitivity for low light photography without flash
(DC280 only).
qSelect specific picture quality and resolution settings to meet your
demanding picture-taking needs.
qSet white balancing options, so you get great color reproduction in
your pictures.
qAdjust the metering system to control how light affects
your pictures.
qSharpen and soften pictures so editing in software can be
done easier.
qLock the exposure for a consistent look in all your pictures.

Adjusting the Camera Exposure
If your pictures seem too dark or too light, you can adjust the amount of
light allowed into the camera so your pictures are properly exposed.
These adjustments in lighting are called Exposure Compensation.
1Set the Mode dial to Capture.

screen.

(+) the exposure number.
qIf your pictures are too light, decrease
(-) the exposure number.
You can adjust the exposure numbers from
+2.0 to -2.0 in 0.5 increments. An increase
of 1.0 doubles the amount of light allowed
into the camera. A decrease of 1.0 reduces
the amount of light allowed into the
camera by half.
7Press the DO-IT button.
The main Menu screen reappears and the
Exposure Compensation icon appears in the
Status Display.

Adding a Border to Your Picture
You can add a border or logo (or both) to your picture, using the graphics
supplied on your camera memory card. When you use the Border feature,
the camera Preview is turned on automatically to help you frame the

like the border, go ahead and take the picture. If you do not like the
border, select a different one. You can also create and add your own
borders. For more information, refer to the KODAK DC240/DC280
Border Transfer Application online help or the ReadMe file. Once the

If you intend to make large prints, you can capture more detail in the
picture using the Best setting. However, with this setting more room is
used on the camera memory card. For everyday pictures, use the Better
setting, which gives you great pictures and more storage space on the
camera memory card. If you need to store a large number of pictures on
the camera memory card or are going to e-mail or use the pictures online,
use the Good setting.
