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 45)
Using Liveview (see page 17)
Using Quickview (see page 19 and page 40).
Excessive use of the flash
! Purchase an optional Kodak 3-volt AC adapter to power your camera (see
page 107).
! Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare camera dock 6000 (see page 71).
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 page 70).
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.

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

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

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 100K6445 folder. Each time you
turn on the camera or insert a different card, any empty folders within the
DCIM folder are removed.
100K6445 subfolder—initially contains all pictures and videos on the card.
Album tags are stored here with the picture or video.

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\100K6445 folder, subsequent pictures appear in a new folder
(\DCIM\101K6445), 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 CX6445
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.
