We do not recommend or support alkaline batteries. For acceptable
battery life, and to make sure your camera operates dependably, use the
replacement batteries listed above.
Extending battery life
■ Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:
– Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen (see page 24)
– Using the camera screen as a viewfinder (see page 10)
– Excessive use of the flash
■ 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). When
using your camera in cold weather, carry spare batteries and keep them
warm. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to
room temperature, they may be usable.

Tips, safety, maintenance
■ 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
batteries and card. Allow all components to air-dry for at least 24 hours
before using the camera again.
■ Blow gently on the lens or camera screen to remove dust and dirt. Wipe
gently with a soft, lint-free cloth or an untreated lens-cleaning tissue. Do
not use cleaning solutions unless designed specifically for camera lenses.
Do not allow chemicals, such as suntan lotion, to contact painted surfaces.
■ Service agreements are available in some countries. Contact a dealer of
Kodak products for more information.

connected; 4) consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
additional suggestions.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
