Setting up your camera
Inserting an accessory SD or SDHC Card
Your camera has limited internal memory—perfect for a few practice videos/pictures.
For the best experience, we strongly suggest purchasing a card (SDHC Class 4 or
higher) to store more. (Maximum supported size: 32 GB.)
CAUTION:
A card can only be inserted one way; forcing it may cause damage.
Inserting or removing a card while the camera is on may damage the
video/pictures, the card, or the camera.
IMPORTANT:
When you turn on the camera, it checks to see if a card is inserted. If so, new
pictures/videos are stored on the card. If no card is inserted, new pictures/videos are stored
in the camera internal memory. If pictures/videos are detected in internal memory and a
card is inserted, the camera prompts you to move the pictures to the card (and erase those
in internal memory).

1

accessory strap at www.kodak.com/go/accessories). To keep the camera waterproof,
tightly close and latch all doors. Do not open doors in water or when hands are
wet. Waterproof integrity may be compromised if the camera is dropped. For more
information, see page 18.
For the best focus and color balance under water:
1 Press the Settings button , then to choose Underwater Correction.
2 Press OK, then to select ON.
3 Press OK.
4 Press the Mode button to take videos/pictures.
5 Verify that your subject is within the underwater focus range (0.7 m [2.3 ft] to
infinity).
IMPORTANT:
Verify that all doors are tightly closed. This camera is waterproof to a depth
of 3 meters (9.8 feet).
After using the camera in water
When finished using under water, go to Step 1 and turn off Underwater
Correction.
Wipe off water or debris. If the camera was used in chemically treated water or
saltwater, rinse it in fresh water, then use a soft towel to dry it.

at least 24 hours before using.
