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).

3 Advanced features

Using the camera under water

The camera does not float. Secure it to your wrist with the strap (see a floating

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 choose Scene mode: Water, then press OK.

3 Press the Mode button to take videos/pictures.

4 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.

■ If water has entered the camera, remove the card. Allow the camera to air-dry for

at least 24 hours before using.
