Kodak C663 manual Extending battery life

Appendix

Extending battery life

■See LCD Brightness (page 32) and Auto Power Off (page 32).

■Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:

–Reviewing your pictures on the LCD (see page 10)

–Using the LCD as a viewfinder (see page 6)

–Excessive use of the flash

■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° F (5° C). When using your camera in cold weather, carry spare batteries and keep them warm. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature, they may be usable.

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/C663downloads.

Additional care and maintenance

■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.

■Blow gently on the lens or LCD to remove dust and dirt. Wipe gently with a soft, lint-free cloth or an untreated lens-cleaning tissue. Do not use cleaning solutions unless designed specifically for camera lenses. Do not allow chemicals, such as suntan lotion, to contact painted surfaces.
