Important Battery Information

Choose the replacement battery that fits your needs—and get the best performance.

Kodak Battery Replacement Types/Battery Life

Your camera can use the following types of batteries. Actual battery life may vary based on usage.

KODAK CX6200 - Kodak Battery Replacement Types/Battery Life - 1
* Included with the Kodak EasyShare camera dock 6000 and printer dock 6000

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.

For information on batteries, visit http://www.kodak.com/global/en/service/batteries/batteryUsage.jhtml

Extending Battery Life

Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:

  • Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen (see page 35)
    Using Liveview (see page 18)
    Using Quickview (see page 19 and page 30).
  • Excessive use of the flash

Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare camera dock 6000 (see page 63). 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 62). The printer dock 6000 powers your camera, makes 4 × 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^ ( 5^ ). 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.
    For rechargeable battery disposal information, visit the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation Web site at www.rbrc.com.

1 Plug the labeled end of the USB cable into the labeled USB port on your computer. See your computer user's guide for details.
2 Plug the other end of the USB cable into the square USB connector on the back of the camera dock.
3 Plug the AC adapter into the round power connector on the back of the camera dock and into a power outlet.

Your AC adapter may differ from the one pictured or may have additional plugs. Use the plug that accommodates your type of power outlet.

IMPORTANT: Use only the AC adapter, 5-volt included with the camera dock 6000. Other adapters may cause damage to your camera, camera dock, or AC adapter.

Leave the camera dock connected so it's always ready to transfer pictures and videos.

Installing the Rechargeable Battery

You received non-rechargeable batteries with your camera. To take full advantage of your camera dock 6000, replace the batteries with the Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack that is packaged with the camera dock.

Upgrading Your Software and Firmware

Download the latest versions of the software included on the Kodak EasyShare software CD and the camera firmware (the software that runs on the camera). See www.kodak.com/go/cx6200downloads.

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 (page 87).
Clean the lens and camera screen:

1 Blow gently on the lens or camera screen to remove dust and dirt.
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/cx6200support.

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 100K6200 folder. Each time you turn on the camera or insert a different card, any empty folders within the DCIM folder are removed.

100K6200 subfolder—initially contains all pictures and videos on the card.

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\100K6200 folder, subsequent pictures appear in a new folder (\DCIM\101K6200), 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 CX6200 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.
