General Camera Tips

✔ To turn the camera off, press and hold the power button for at

least 1 full second. This prevents turning the camera off

accidentally.

✔ Why two sets of batteries in the box? The alkaline set is a

“starter set” to get you using your camera right out of the box.

The NiMH set of rechargeable batteries need to be charged

before first use. These provide superior overall performance

for general picture-taking.

✔ Whenever possible, attach your camera to the AC adapter to

conserve battery power.

✔ When you do not need to view the color LCD, it should

remain off to prolong battery life.

Software Tips

The following software is provided with your camera:

✔ KODAK DC265 Camera Properties Software—allows you

to set up your digital camera through a graphical interface on

your computer.

✔ KODAK DC265 Camera Mounter Software—allows disk-

like access to your pictures. Your camera appears as a disk

drive on your computer. You can drag and drop original

camera pictures to and from your camera and retain key

camera information stored in the pictures. Also you can view

your pictures by name, date, or as thumbnails.

✔ KODAK DC265 Digital Access Software (TWAIN

Acquire) for WINDOWS and KODAK DC265 Digital

Access Software (Plug-In Acquire) for MACINTOSH—

allows you to import pictures into many popular applications.

You can then save them to your computer from within this

application. Embedded camera and scene properties are not

maintained by most applications using this method.

✔ KODAK Picture Easy Software—provides a basic, digital-

imaging program to view, store, organize, print, and share

your pictures. It is also fully optimized for use with a card

reader.

✔ ADOBE PHOTODELUXE Software—provides you with a

fast and easy way to customize and enhance pictures, create

professional documents, and share them with colleagues,

family, and friends.

✔ ADOBE PAGEMILL—provides an easy way to create and

manage pages for the Web.

✔ DIGITA Desktop Acquire Software—allows you to import

pictures directly from your camera to your MACINTOSH

computer. You would use a USB or serial connection and

import into PHOTOSHOP or PHOTODELUXE. For more

information see the on-line documentation or http://
