Chapter 1
Extending Battery Life
!
Battery life depends significantly on battery age, usage conditions, and type.
Digital cameras are demanding on batteries. Not all batteries perform well under these challenging conditions.
!
Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:
– Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen (see page 49 )
– Using Liveview (see
)
– Using Quickview (see page 22 and
– Excessive use of the flash
!
Purchase an optional Kodak 3-volt AC adapter to power your camera (see
).
!
Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare camera dock 6000 (see
The camera dock 6000 powers your camera, transfers pictures, and is also a battery charger for its included Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack.
!
Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare printer dock 6000 (see
The printer dock 6000 powers your camera, makes 4 x 6 prints with or without a computer, transfers pictures, and is also a battery charger for its included Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack.
!
Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a
!
clean, dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.
Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41
°
F (5
°
C).
Carry spare batteries when using your camera in cold weather, and keep them warm. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature, they may be usable.
Battery Safety and Handling
!
Do not allow batteries to touch metal objects, including coins. Otherwise, a battery may short circuit, discharge energy, become hot, or leak.

Picture-Taking Modes
For the best possible pictures, choose the mode that suits your conditions.
Use this mode
Auto
Sport
For:
General picture-taking. Automatically sets exposure, focus, and flash.
Subjects that are in motion. Shutter speed is fast.
Portrait Full-frame portraits of people. Allows the subject to be sharp and the background to be indistinct. For best results, fill the frame with a head-and-shoulders pose.
Use the Telephoto (T) zoom button to exaggerate background blur.
Night Night scenes or low-light conditions. For shutter speeds slower than 1/60 second, place the camera on a flat, steady surface or use a tripod. Due to slow shutter speeds, advise people to stay still for a few seconds after the flash fires.
Landscape Distant subjects. Flash does not fire unless you turn it on. Auto focus framing marks (see
available in Landscape.
Close-up Close subjects 4-24 in. (10-60 cm) from the lens in
Wide Angle; 9.8-33.5 in. (25-85 cm) in Telephoto. Use available light instead of flash if possible. Use the camera screen to frame the subject.

See
page 18 for directions on how to select
the modes and settings in PAS mode.
Program Mode
Use Program mode when you want to manually control exposure compensation (how much light enters the camera). The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture (f-stop) based on the scene lighting.
Aperture Priority Mode
Use Aperture priority mode when you want to manually control aperture and exposure compensation. The camera automatically sets the shutter speed for proper exposure. Aperture priority mode is primarily used to control depth of field (the range of sharpness).
NOTE: The aperture setting may be affected when using optical zoom.
Shutter Priority Mode
Use Shutter priority mode when you want to manually control the shutter speed and exposure compensation. The camera automatically sets the aperture for proper exposure. Shutter priority mode is primarily used to prevent blur when your subject is moving. Use a tripod for shutter speeds slower than 1/60".

PAS Mode Screen Options
Aperture—also referred to as f-number, controls the size of the lens opening, which determines the depth of field. Smaller aperture settings keep both foreground and background sharp, good for landscapes and well-lit conditions. Larger aperture settings make the subject sharp and background blurry, good for portraits and low-light conditions. The highest and lowest aperture settings may be affected when using optical zoom.
Shutter speed—controls how long the shutter stays open. To prevent camera shake, use a tripod for shutter speeds slower than 1/60 second.
Exposure compensation—controls how much light enters the camera, good for controlling backlit scenes. If the picture is too light, decrease the setting; if it’s too dark, increase the setting. See
for setting exposure compensation in other modes.
Settings Apply Only in PAS Mode
Settings you change while in PAS mode apply only to pictures taken while in
PAS mode. For example, if you change the Color Mode to Sepia while in PAS mode, all other still modes (auto, sport, portrait, night, landscape, and close up) retain the default setting of Color.
The settings, including Flash, remain active for PAS mode even when you change modes or turn off the camera. This is the place to set and keep your custom settings.
IMPORTANT: Use Reset ( page 38 ) to return PAS mode to the default
settings.

Tips, Safety, Maintenance
!
Always follow basic safety precautions. Refer to the “Important Safety
Instructions” booklet packed with your camera.
!
Do not allow chemicals, such as suntan lotion, to come into contact with the painted surface of the camera.
!
If the camera has been subjected to inclement weather or you suspect water has gotten inside the camera, turn off the camera and remove the battery and card. Allow all components to air-dry for at least 24 hours before using the camera again. If this does not resolve the problem, contact customer support (
).
!
Clean the lens and camera screen:
1 Blow gently on the lens or camera screen to remove dust and dirt.
107
Chapter 12
2 Wipe the lens or camera screen gently with a soft, lint-free cloth or an untreated lens-cleaning tissue.
Do not use cleaning solutions unless they are designed specifically for camera lenses. Do not wipe the camera lens or camera screen with chemically treated eyeglass lens tissue. It may scratch the lens.
!
Wipe the outside of the camera with a clean, dry cloth. Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on the camera or any of its parts.
!
Connect a tripod directly to the camera; do not connect a tripod to the camera dock.
!
Service agreements are available in some countries. Contact a dealer of
Kodak products for more information.
!
For digital camera disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities. In the US, visit the Electronics Industry Alliance Web site at www.eiae.org
or the Kodak Web site at www.kodak.com/go/dx6440support .

Locating Pictures and Videos on a Card
Pictures stored on SD/MMC Cards use a standard (DCF-Digital Camera
Format) agreed upon by many camera manufacturers. This lets you use the cards in different cameras. If you use a card reader to retrieve your files, the following description of the card file structure may be helpful.
MISC folder—contains the order files created when you use the Share feature to tag files for printing, emailing, and as favorites; also contains the address book and album names copied from the computer.
SYSTEM folder—created and used while updating camera firmware.
DCIM folder—root level folder, contains the 100K6440 folder. Each time you turn on the camera or insert a different card, any empty folders within the
DCIM folder are removed.
100K6440 subfolder—initially contains all pictures and videos on the card.
Album tags are stored here with the picture or video.
109
Chapter 12
Picture Naming Conventions
!
Pictures are named 100_nnnn.JPG, and are numbered in the order in which they are taken. The first picture is named 100_0001.JPG; the highest number allowed is 100_9999.JPG.
!
When a card contains a picture named 100_9999.JPG in the
\DCIM\100K6440 folder, subsequent pictures appear in a new folder
(\DCIM\101K6440), beginning with picture 101_0001.JPG.
!
Even if you transfer pictures to the computer or delete pictures from the camera, the camera continues to use consecutive numbers for all subsequent pictures. For example, if the last picture taken was
100_0007.JPG and you delete it, the next picture you take is named
100_0008.JPG.
!
When you insert a different card into your camera, the next picture number is defined by incrementing the higher of the last picture taken by the camera, or the highest existing picture number in the folder.
!
If you use the card in a camera other than the Kodak EasyShare DX6440 zoom digital camera, and that camera manufacturer adheres to this file structure standard, the \DCIM folder contains a folder named by that camera. For more information, refer to the documentation that accompanied that camera.
Burst Pictures
When a burst series is initiated, a letter “B” replaces the underscore in the file name. When a burst series is initiated or ended, the second digit to the left of the decimal is incremented by 1.
