Locating Your Pictures on the Picture

Card

Pictures are stored on the KODAK Picture Card according to a standard agreed upon by many camera manufacturers. This standard allows you to use the

Picture Card in different cameras.

If you use a card reader to retrieve your pictures or you cannot locate your pictures using the software, the following description of the camera file structure may be helpful.

m

MISC folder

—contains the Print Order file created when you use the

Print Order function.

m

System folder

—used for updating camera firmware.

m

DCIM folder

—the root level folder, it contains the 100K4800 folder.

Each time you turn on the camera or insert a different Picture Card, any empty folders within the DCIM folder are removed.

m

100K4800

—a subfolder in the DCIM folder that stores all the pictures taken with the camera. The first time you use the Picture

Card, the camera creates a folder named 100K4800. In unusual circumstances, other similarly named folders (e.g., 101K4800) are created. For example, when you use the Picture Card in a different digital camera, or if the 100K4800 folder becomes full.

70

Picture Naming Conventions

Still pictures are named DCP_nnnn.JPG or DCP_nnnn.TIF, where nnnn represents a picture number between 0001 and 9999. Pictures are numbered in the order in which they are taken. For example, the first picture in the

\DCIM\100K4800 folder is DCP_0001.JPG. The camera maintains a count of the number of pictures taken, which is used to determine the number of the next picture taken.

Burst pictures (still pictures taken in rapid succession when the camera is in

Burst Mode) are named Bmm_nnnn.JPG, where mm is a burst number from

00 to 99, and nnnn is a sequence number within the burst.

m

Even if you transfer pictures to the computer or delete pictures from the Picture Card, the camera uses consecutive numbers for all subsequent pictures. For example, if the last picture taken was

DCP_0007.JPG, the next picture is DCP_0008.JPG.

The nnnn sequence number for a burst continues in the same way. A burst of four pictures taken after DCP_0008 are named B01_0009 through B01_0012.

m

When you insert a different Picture Card into your camera, the next picture number is derived by incrementing the higher of the last picture taken by the camera, or the highest existing picture number in the folder on the card.

m

When you insert the Picture Card into a different DC4800 camera, the next picture number is derived by incrementing either the highest existing picture number or the highest picture number previously taken by that camera.

m

After you take picture DCP_9999.JPG in the \DCIM\100K4800 folder, subsequent pictures appear in a new folder (\DCIM\101K4800) on the Picture Card, beginning with picture DCP_0001.JPG.

7

71

72

m

If you use the Picture Card in a camera other than the DC4800 camera, and that camera manufacturer adheres to this file structure standard, the \DCIM folder contains a folder named by that camera.

Any pictures taken with that camera are stored in the folder using the naming conventions established by the manufacturer. For more information, refer to the documentation that accompanied that camera.

Tips and Troubleshooting

There may be times when you have questions about using your camera. This chapter can point you in the right direction for finding the answers quickly, so you can continue using your camera.

Troubleshooting .....................................................................75

Connecting Your Camera

If you are getting messages on your computer that state you are not connected, refer to the PDF documents installed with the software, or the online help for troubleshooting information. If you are connecting to a: m

Windows-based USB connection—refer to USB.PDF

m

Macintosh computer—refer to Connect.PDF

Adjusting Your Monitor for Better Viewing

Your monitor display settings may need to be adjusted to view pictures from the camera. Refer to your computer User’s Guide for information on how to adjust your monitor display settings.

8

73

Getting Better Results from Your Printer

You may notice that the colors on your computer screen do not always match those in your documents or prints. This is because monitors and printers use different color systems.

You may be able to achieve more predictable results in your printed documents by: m

Improving the quality of your paper. Copier paper may not offer the same results as coated paper or paper made especially for inkjet printers. m

Adjusting your printer software settings.

m

Using fresh ink cartridges. Do not use ink cartridges beyond their life expectancy.

Remember these few tips for printing your pictures: m

Color printing takes more time than black and white. More complex pictures increase the printing and drying time.

m

Color printing is more memory intensive than black and white. If your computer gives you an insufficient memory message, you may need to close some applications, change some settings, or add additional memory.

m

Color prints may not photocopy as clearly as black and white. If you plan to photocopy documents, you should consider printing the document in grayscale. This setting is usually changed from the Print dialog box.

m

Resizing the picture to a smaller size or printing the picture on glossy paper may increase the quality of the print.

m

To improve the quality of your prints, you may want to print your pictures on KODAK Inkjet Snapshot Paper (Snapshot Paper). Snapshot

Paper is made to work with most inkjet printers to give you clearer, crisper, and more detailed images on your prints.

General Camera Maintenance

m

Clean the outside of the camera by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on the camera or any of its parts.

m

Clean the lens and back LCD screen:

Do not use cleaning solutions unless they are designed specifically for camera lenses.

Do not wipe the camera lens or LCD screen with chemically treated eyeglass lens tissue. It may scratch the lens.

1

Blow gently on the lens or LCD screen to remove dust and dirt.

2

Moisten the lens or LCD screen by breathing lightly on it.

3

Wipe the lens or LCD screen gently with a soft, lint-free cloth or an untreated lens-cleaning tissue.

11

General Safety

m

Always follow basic safety precautions. Refer to the “Important Safety

Instructions” booklet packed with your camera.

m

To keep from damaging your camera, avoid exposing it to moisture and extreme temperatures.

m

Do not allow any chemicals, such as suntan lotion to come into contact with the painted surface of the camera.

m

Never disassemble or touch the inside of the camera. This could result in electrical shock.

m

If you notice smoke or a strange smell coming from the camera, immediately turn off the camera, wait a few minutes until the camera cools, then remove the battery.

m

If you use the camera in an airplane, observe instructions of the airline company. Radio waves emitted by the camera may affect the airplane instruments.

97

m

The camera is not waterproof. 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 Picture Card. Allow all components to air-dry for at least 24 hours before using the camera again.

98

Using Your Battery

m

Take care not to touch the battery terminals with metallic objects.

m

Do not place the battery on or near fires, stoves, or other high-temperature locations. Do not place the battery in direct sunshine, or use or store the battery inside cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, explode, or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and shortened life expectancy.

m

Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging, or storing the battery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color, changes shape, or appears abnormal in any other way. Contact your sales location or Kodak if any of these problems are observed.

m

It is important to use only a Kodak-specified 5V AC Adapter with your camera. Using a different adapter or one with a different voltage could damage your camera and battery.

m

Please use care when replacing the battery in the camera. If the battery is incorrectly replaced, there is a danger of explosion. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.

m

Do not recharge the battery for longer periods of time than specified. Do not continue charging the battery if it does not recharge within the specified charging time. Doing so may cause the battery to become hot, explode, or ignite.

m

Remove the battery when the camera is stored for extended periods of time. Store the battery in a dry cool place and attach the cap. Always make sure the battery cap is attached when you carry the battery outside of the camera.

m

Always follow your battery manufacturer’s directions fully. Do not attempt to disassemble, short circuit, or subject the battery to high temperature or fire.

11

99

m

When using your camera on battery power, we recommend you limit continuous LCD Preview or Review to less than 10-minutes per session. If you are using the camera for longer periods, use the AC adapter to conserve battery charge.

m

When disposing of batteries, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and any local and national regulations. Kodak suggests customers take advantage of any community battery recycling programs that may exist in your area. Contact your local waste remover or recycler for details.

m

Read and follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer. Keep all batteries out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to remove the battery from the charger or the digital camera.

m

When the battery is worn out, insulate the terminals with adhesive tape or similar material before disposal.

m

Discard used battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions and all applicable local and national regulations. Utilize established community battery recycling programs where they are available.

m

In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks onto your skin, contact Kodak

Health, Safety, and Environment Information at 1-716-722-5151 in the U.S.

m

In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks inside the camera, U.S. customers can contact the Kodak Information Center (KIC) at 1-800-242-

2424. Customers outside the U.S. can contact their local Kodak Customer

Service representative.

m

When removing the battery, allow it to cool before touching, since the battery may be hot.
