1Getting Started Congratulations on your purchase of a new KODAK DC3200 Digital Camera— the camera that takes pictures digitally, without the use of film. With your new camera, picture-taking and print-making are fun and easy. Here are just a few examples of what you can do with your camera: Q Take digital pictures in unbelievable detail, color, and sharpness. Q Transfer your pictures to a computer for editing, enhancement, and placement into your document. Q E-mail your pictures to friends, family, and business associates anywhere in the word. Q Print high-quality pictures at home using KODAK Inkjet Photo Paper, or take your optional KODAK Picture Card to a KODAK Picture Maker System and create photo-quality enlargements at a touch of a button. Q Display your pictures to a large audience on a television or video monitor using a KODAK-specified video cable.

Preparing to Take Pictures Before you can start taking pictures, you need to install the batteries or connect a KODAK AC Adapter (Cat# 122-0557) for power. The AC adapter is available as an accessory from a dealer of KODAK products or from our Web site at http:// www.kodak.com/go/accessories. Your camera offers 2 MB of internal memory for picture storage. This intemal memory retains pictures even if the power supply is interrupted. To record a greater number of pictures, insert an optional KODAK Picture Card into the camera. When a Picture Card is inserted into the camera, pictures are stored on the card. Attaching the Wrist Strap 1 Thread the small loop end of the wrist strap through the wrist strap eyelet, located on the side of the camera. 2 Thread the large loop end of the strap through the small loop and pull the large loop end to tighten the strap. Loading the Batteries Your camera comes with four AA batteries so you can start taking pictures immediately. For guidelines for battery usage, see page 50. 1° Make sure that the Power/Mode switch is set to OFF. 2 Slide and open the battery compartment cover (located on the side of the camera) in the direction of the arrow. 3 Insert the batteries into the battery compartment, making sure their plus and minus ends are facing as indicated in the diagram. Æ Close the battery compartment cover and slide it in until it locks in place.

Turning the Camera On and Off Tum the camera on and off using the Power/Mode switch, located on the back of the camera. Q To tumn the camera on in the Capture mode (to take pictures), set the Power/ Mode switch to the gg position. To tum the camera on in the Review mode (to review captured pictures), set the Power/Mode switch to the (w) position. The green Ready light (next to the viewfinder) and the LCD turn on. A message appears on the LCD for several seconds to indicate which medium (internal memory or a Picture Card) you are accessing. Q To tumn the camera off, set the Power/ Mode switch to OFF. If you are using the batteries for power, and the camera is idle for approximately five minutes, the Auto Power Off function automatically turns the power off. To turn the camera on again, set the Power/Mode switch to OFF and then back to the D or (>) position.

Checking the Batteries The DC3200 Digital Camera displays a battery symbol to indicate the battery power level. For guidelines on battery usage, See “Using Your Batteries” on page 50. Since digital cameras are demanding on batteries, keep extra sets of batteries handy. Consider purchasing either a KODAK AC Adapter (Cat#122-0557) or a KODAK Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Charger with KODAK Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries. Both are available as accessories from a dealer of KODAK products or from our Web site at http://www.kodak.com/go/accessories. 1° Set the Power/Mode switch to the © © @) position. 2 Check the battery status symbol that appears on the LCD. In the Capture mode, you can turn on the LCD by pressing the SELECT button. You can also use the Preview feature to keep the LCD on constantly while the camera power is turned on. (See “Previewing a Picture Before it is Taken” on page 8.) Q Full indicates the batteries are charged and ready to use.

Q Low—indicates the batteries are not = fully charged and will soon need to be replaced or recharged. LR, _ Cu | _ Q Exhausted (flashing)— indicates the PET batteries are too weak to power the camera and need to be replaced. The red Ready light (next to the viewfinder) blinks when the batteries are exhausted.

Inserting a Picture Card Your camera accepts an optional KODAK Picture Card, which stores pictures. The Picture Card (also known as a CompactFlash or camera memory card) is removable and reusable for easy storage and transfer of your pictures. KODAK Picture Cards are available as an accessory through a dealer of KODAK products or from our Web site at http://www.kodak.com/go/accessories. 1 Slide and open the card slot cover (located on the bottom of the camera) in the direction of the arrow. Hold the Picture Card so the connection end (with tiny holes) is pointed at the camera, and the small lip on the other end is facing the front of the camera. The Picture Card can only be inserted one way into the camera. Forcing the card may damage your camera or the card. Push the center of the Picture Card edge so the card is inserted all the way into the card slot. Close the card slot cover and slide it in until it locks in place. 1 Open the card slot cover. Push the Eject button. The Picture Card partially slides out of the slot. Remove the Picture Card from the slot, and close the card slot cover.

Navigating to Your Pictures Pictures are stored in the memory of the camera or on a Picture Card according to a standard agreed upon by many camera manufacturers. This standard allows you to use the Picture Card in different cameras. The KODAK DC3200 Picture Transfer Software application guides you to your pictures in the memory. However, if you use a card reader to retrieve your pictures on the Picture Card or cannot locate your pictures using the software provided, the following description of the camera file structure may be helpful. Q Root level folder is named \DCIM. Each time you turn on the camera or insert a Picture Card, any empty folders within the \DCIM folder are removed. Q Typically, all pictures taken with the DC3200 Digital Camera are stored in the \DCIM\100K 3200 folder. Q Pictures are numbered in the order in which they are taken. The first picture in the \DCIM\100K 3200 folder is DCP_0001.JPG. Q When you copy pictures to the computer or delete pictures from the memory, the camera uses consecutive numbers for subsequent pictures. For example, if the last picture taken was DCP_0007.JPG, the next picture is DCP_0008.JPG. Q When you insert the Picture Card into another DC3200 Digital Camera, the next picture is derived by incrementing either the highest existing picture number, or the highest picture number previously taken by that camera. Once you take picture DCP_9999.JPG in the \DCIM\100K 3200 folder, subsequent pictures appear in a new folder (\DCIM\101K 3200) on the Picture Card, beginning with picture DCP_0001.JPG. If you use the Picture Card in a camera other than the KODAK DC3200 Digital Camera, and that camera manufacturer adheres to this file structure standard, the \DCIM folder will contain a folder named by that camera. 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 accompanying that camera.

Getting Better Results from Your Printer You may notice that the colors on your computer screen do not always match those of 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: Q Improving the quality of your paper. Copier paper may not offer the same results as coated paper or paper made specially for inkjet printers. Q Adjusting your printer software settings. Q Using fresh ink cartridges. Do not use ink cartridges beyond their life expectancy. Remember these tips when printing a document: Q Color printing takes more time. More complex pictures increase the printing and drying time. Q 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. Q Color prints may not photocopy as clearly as black and white. If you plan to photocopy documents, consider printing the document in grayscale. This setting is usually changed from the Print dialog box. Q Resizing the picture to a smaller size or printing the picture on glossy paper may increase the quality of the print. 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.

Keep batteries away from children. In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks onto your skin, immediately wash the contaminated skin with soap and plenty of water. Contact your local health care provider, or in the U.S. contact Kodak Health, Safety, and Environment Information at 1-716-722-5151. In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks inside the camera, U.S. customers can contact the Kodak Information Center at 1-800-242-2424. Customers outside the U.S. can contact their local Kodak Customer Service representative. Kodak recommends KODAK PHOTOLIFE AA Alkaline Batteries, or KODAK AA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries for use in KODAK digital cameras. Remove the batteries when the camera is stored for extended periods of time. Always follow your battery manufacturer’s directions fully. Do not attempt to disassemble, short circuit, or subject the battery to high temperature or fire. Your camera has been designed to operate correctly using a variety of AA-size batteries currently available. These include 1.5-volt alkaline and rechargeable 1.2-volt Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH). Replace all batteries of a set at the same time. New batteries should not be mixed with used ones. Do not mix rechargeable and nonrechargeable batteries. Do not mix alkaline or Ni-MH types of batteries. Do not mix different grades or brands of batteries. Failure to observe this precaution may result in some batteries in a set being driven beyond their normal exhaust point and increase their possibility of leakage. NOT ALL BATTERIES ARE CREATED EQUAL! Battery life depends significantly on age, usage conditions, type, brand, and camera. Digital camera requirements are very demanding on batteries. Not all batteries perform well under these challenging conditions. In Kodak lab tests, Ni- MH rechargeable batteries delivered the outstanding results in a variety of conditions. Ni-MH batteries are designed for high-demand devices, such as digital cameras, and do not exhibit the “memory” effects seen with other rechargeable technologies. If you elect to use alkaline batteries in your camera, you will obtain better performance from “photo-flash grade” alkaline batteries, such as KODAK PHOTOLIFE alkaline batteries. These types of batteries last

more than twice as long in digital cameras as ordinary alkaline batteries. Alkaline batteries are not rechargeable; do not attempt to recharge them in the battery charger. Q 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, it is recommended that you do so with the camera powered by a KODAK-specified AC adapter. Q When disposing of batteries, follow the manufacturer's instructions and all federal, state, and local 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. Caution Hot Surface Q When removing batteries, allow to cool before touching, since the batteries may be hot. Battery Charger Tips: For charging Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries only, with a maximum of 4 cells, and a maximum charge of 1600mAH. Do not charge nonrechargeable batteries. Endast fôr att ladda Ni-Cd eller Ni-MH batterier, med maximalt 4 celler och en maximal laddning av 1600mAH. Âterladda inte batterier som inte är laddningsbara.

General Maintenance and Safety

To keep from damaging your camera, avoid exposing it to moisture and extreme temperatures. 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. Do not allow any chemicals, such as suntan lotion to come into contact with the painted surface of the camera. Never disassemble or touch the inside of the camera. This could result in electrical shock. 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, and then remove the batteries. 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 LC D screen with chem- ically treated eyeglass lens tissue as 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 oran untreated lens-cleaning tissue. Service agreements are available in some countries. Please contact a dealer of KODAK products for more information.
