Kodak DC220, DC260 manual Taking pictures

Taking pictures

Taking any kind of picture, still, burst, or timelapse is basically the same. The only difference is the amount of time you have to hold down the SHUTTER button.

☞For best results when taking a picture, press and hold the SHUTTER button halfway down until the green Ready light illuminates. Then press the SHUTTER button the rest of the way.

To take a picture:

1Place the subject in the viewfinder.

☞To view the subject in the LCD as well as the viewfinder, press the DISPLAY button.

2Press the SHUTTER button.

☞You do not need to hold the camera still while the green Ready light is blinking, but you will not be able to take another picture until it stops blinking.

☞If you set a long interval between timelapse pictures, the camera may appear to turn itself off to save batteries. It will turn itself back on to take the next picture.

✔If you are taking a still picture, press and release the SHUTTER button.

✔If you are taking burst pictures, hold down the SHUTTER button for as long as you want the camera to fire. The camera stops firing when the available camera memory is used or when you release the SHUTTER button. The resolution and quality of your pictures, set in the burst picture settings, dictates how quickly camera memory is consumed. Refer to page 3-4 for more information on burst picture settings.

✔If you are taking timelapse pictures, press and release the SHUTTER button. The camera fires at the interval set in the timelapse picture settings. The camera continues to fire until you press the SHUTTER button again, press the STOP softkey, or until the maximum number of pictures, set in the timelapse picture settings, is taken. Refer to page 3-4 for more information on timelapse picture settings.
