Preparing to Take Pictures

Before you start taking pictures with your camera, you first need to install

the batteries or connect a Kodak-specified AC adapter for power, and

insert a KODAK Picture Card (camera memory card) into the camera.

Your camera uses four AA batteries to power the camera. For your

convenience, two sets of batteries are included with your camera: four

alkaline batteries, and four Ni-MH rechargeable batteries with battery

charger. The alkaline batteries are provided so you can start using your

camera immediately. The rechargeable batteries need to be charged first,

before using them in the camera. Although both types of batteries work

in your camera, do n ot mix different types of batteries in the camera at the

same time.

For information on guidelines for battery usage, see page 91.

You turn the camera on and off using the POWER switch, located on the
