1 Getting Started 1 Congratulations on your purchase of a new KODAK DC215 Zoom Digital Camera—the camera that takes pictures digitally, without the use of film. With your new camera, picture taking and print making is fun and easy. The possibilities are endless. Here is just a few examples of what you can do with your camera: q Take digital pictures in unbelievable detail, color, and sharpness. q Transfer your pictures to a computer for instant editing, enhancement, and placement into your document.
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. A Kodak-specified AC adapter is available as an accessory from a dealer of Kodak products or from our Website at http://www.kodak.com/go/accessories Loading Batteries Your camera comes with four AA batteries so you can start taking pictures immediately.
Checking Batteries So you are never caught with dead batteries, your camera indicates the power level of the batteries in the form of a battery status symbol, which appear in the Status Display when you turn on the camera. For information on guidelines for battery usage, see page 66. Since digital cameras are very demanding on batteries, keep extra sets of batteries handy, or consider purchasing either a Kodak-specified AC adapter or KODAK Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Charger with KODAK Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries.
Inserting a Camera Memory Card Your camera comes with a KODAK Picture Card (camera memory card), that is used to store pictures taken with the camera. The camera memory card, also referred to as a CompactFlash card, is removable and reusable for easy storage and transfer of your pictures. Before you start to take pictures, insert a camera memory card into the camera. KODAK Picture Cards are available as an accessory through a dealer of Kodak products or from our Website at http://www.kodak.
Setting the Clock on Your Camera Your camera has a built-in clock that maintains the date and time in a 24-hour format. The camera clock needs to be set if you plan to use the Date Stamp feature, which imprints the date on your picture. For information on using the Date Stamp feature, see page 22. 1 With the camera on, set the Slider switch POWER to Preferences. 1 The Preferences screen appears. 2 Press a Review Capture Connect Preferences / button until the icon is highlighted.
Adjusting the LCD Brightness You can adjust the brightness level of the color LCD to suit your particular needs. 1 With the camera on, set the Slider switch POWER to Preferences. The Preferences screen appears. 2 Press a Review Capture Connect Preferences / button until the icon is highlighted. 3 Press the DO-IT button. The LCD Brightness screen appears. 4 Press a / button to change the LCD brightness level. POWER The brightness the of LCD changes as you adjust the setting.
2 Taking Pictures Your DC215 camera makes taking pictures fun. Just set the camera to Capture and you are on your way to creating great pictures. Everything you need is right at your fingertips. With the DC215 camera you can: 2 q Preview the picture before it is taken. q Zoom in up to two times closer on your subject. q View the picture you just took. q Vary the flash settings to give you control over the type of flash needed for specific conditions. q Adjust the camera to take close-up pictures.
Previewing a Picture Before it is Taken If you want to see what a picture looks like before you take it, you can preview the image on the LCD on the back of your camera. The live image that appears is helpful for framing your subject, especially when using the Close-Up and Template features. When you use the Preview feature, batteries are drained faster, so use a Kodak-specified AC adapter when possible. 1 With the camera on, set the Slider switch POWER to Capture. 2 Press the DO-IT button.
Capturing a Picture Taking pictures is a snap with your DC215 camera. You can take a picture as close as 1.6 ft (0.5 m) in wide angle or 3.3 ft (1.0 m) in telephoto. 1 With the camera on, set the Slider POWER switch to Capture. 2 Center the subject using the guide Review Capture marks in the viewfinder, or turn on Preview (page 8) and use the LCD to frame your subject. Connect Preferences 2 3 Press the Shutter button.
Photographing Close-Ups If you want to take pictures of objects up close, such as flowers or artwork, use the Close-Up feature. When selected, the camera automatically sets the focus distance to 8 in. (0.2 m) and sets the flash to ensure detail and clarity. Since the viewfinder on the camera may not accurately frame your picture in Close-Up, the Preview option is automatically activated. For information on Preview, see page 8. 1 With the camera on, set the Slider switch to Capture.
Putting Yourself in the Picture There might be times when you want everyone, including yourself, to be in the picture. For these occasions, use the Self-Timer feature to create a 10-second delay between the time you press the Shutter button and the time the picture is taken. 1 With the camera on, set the Slider switch to Capture. 2 Press the Self-Timer button. T W 2 The Self-Timer icon appears in the Status Display.
Viewing and Deleting the Picture Just Taken You can view a picture seconds after it is taken with a touch of a button. This is a convenient way to check if the picture you just took was positioned correctly, and decide if you want to keep it or delete it to save space on the camera memory card. 1 With the camera on, set the Slider switch POWER to Capture. 2 Press the Shutter button to take a picture. Review Capture Connect Preferences 3 Press the button.
Setting the Flash When taking pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy shadows, your pictures need flash. Your camera has five different flash options with a range of 10 ft (3.0 m) to accommodate most picture-taking situations. 1 With the camera on, set the Slider switch to Capture. T W R WE PO 2 Press the Flash button to scroll though the flash options. t s ec ce nn n Corefere P w vie Reture p Ca 2 The Flash setting icon changes in the Status Display.
Adjusting the Camera Exposure If your pictures seem too dark or too light, you can adjust the amount of light allowed into the camera so your pictures are properly exposed. These adjustments in lighting are called Exposure Compensation. 1 With the camera on, set the Slider switch POWER to Capture. 2 Press the button. The Exposure Compensation screen appears. Review Capture Connect Preferences 3 Press a button to change the exposure number.
Locking in an Exposure Setting If you are taking a series of pictures that require a consistent look or a constant exposure setting, use the Exposure Lock feature. This feature is great for taking a series of pictures, like a mountain range, and creating a mural with the prints. 1 With the camera on, set the Slider POWER switch to Capture. 2 Press the Review Capture Connect Preferences button two times. 2 The Exposure Compensation screen appears, followed by the Exposure Lock screen.
Deleting the Picture Just Taken If you decide that you do not like a picture, you can delete it from the camera memory card immediately after it is taken. For the Quick Delete feature to work, the picture must be displayed on the LCD, so Quickview needs to be activated. Once you delete the picture, it is permanently removed from the camera memory card. 1 With the camera on, set the Slider switch POWER to Capture. 2 Turn on Quickview (page 24).
3 Customizing Your Pictures Chapters 1 and 2 explained the basics for taking great digital pictures. In this chapter, you will learn about some of the custom features available on your camera. With the digital technology that is built into your camera, you have the ability to set the camera for almost any picture taking situation you may encounter. With the camera, you can: q Frame your pictures with interesting templates supplied on the camera memory card.
Understanding Quality and Resolution Keep in mind that with your camera you are generally going to get beautiful digital pictures. But based on two factors, resolution and quality, some pictures will be of a higher quality than others. Instead of film, the camera places your pictures on a camera memory card. These pictures are made up of pixels. The more pixels you have (or the better the resolution) the more space you use on the camera memory card.
Adjusting the Picture Quality If you intend to make large prints, you can capture more detail in the picture using the Best setting, but less room is available on the camera memory card. For everyday pictures, use the Better setting, which gives you more pictures and more storage space. If you need to take a large number of pictures, or you are going to e-mail or use the pictures online, use the Good setting. 1 With the camera on, set the Slider switch POWER to Preferences. The Preferences screen appears.
Adjusting the Picture Resolution If you want to send pictures through e-mail or use them online, use the Standard resolution setting. With this setting, only the information needed for viewing on a computer or printing small prints is captured. For pictures that are going to be printed, use the High resolution setting. With this setting, more information is captured, but fewer pictures fit on the camera memory card. 1 With the camera on, set the Slider switch POWER to Preferences.
Adding a Template to Your Picture You can enhance and personalize your pictures by adding a custom template supplied on your camera memory card. Once the picture is taken with the Template feature, the template cannot be removed. You also have the ability to create and add your own templates to a camera memory card. For more information, see “Creating Your Own Templates” on page 68 or the ReadMe file. 1 With the camera on, set the Slider switch to Preferences. POWER The Preferences screen appears.
Adding the Date to Your Pictures Your camera can the record the date and time directly on your picture using the Date Stamp feature. In order for the feature to imprint the correct date and time, you need to set the camera clock. See page 5 for details. Once a picture is taken with the date stamp, the date stamp cannot be removed. 1 With the camera on, set the Slider switch POWER to Preferences. The Preferences screen appears.
Selecting an Image File Type The digital pictures you take with your camera are stored in an image file format that you select from the camera. The JPEG file format can be used with most software you use with your computer. The FlashPix file format is not as compatible as JPEG, but it is quicker and easier to use if you plan on editing your pictures. 1 With the camera on, set the Slider switch POWER to Preferences. The Preferences screen appears.
Setting a Quickview for Each Picture You can set your camera so the pictures automatically appear in the LCD each time you take a picture. With Quickview activated, you have the choice to keep pictures you want, or delete the ones you do not want in order to save space on the camera memory card. 1 With the camera on, set the Slider switch POWER to Preferences. The Preferences screen appears. 2 Press a Review Capture Connect Preferences / button until the is highlighted. 3 Press the DO-IT button.
Formatting Your Camera Memory Card If you own camera memory cards that have been used in other digital cameras, the cards may not be properly formatted for use in your DC215 camera, or the data on the cards may have become corrupted. When these issues arise, your camera indicates that the camera memory card needs to be formatted. When you format a camera memory card, all of the information on the card is erased. This includes any templates supplied on the card.
Adjusting the Video Out Signal You can set your camera to be compatible with NTSC or PAL video signals. The Video Out feature needs to be set correctly if you plan on running a slide show of the pictures from the camera on a television or video monitor. For information on setting up a slide show, see page 35. 1 With the camera on, set the Slider switch POWER to Preferences. The Preferences screen appears. 2 Press a Review Capture Connect Preferences / button until the icon is highlighted.
Selecting a Language for the Camera You can select from many different language interfaces for your camera. Once you select a language, the text changes on the camera to reflect that language. 1 With the camera on, set the Slider switch POWER to Preferences. The Preferences screen appears. 2 Press a Review Capture Connect Preferences / button until the icon is highlighted. 3 Press the DO-IT button. 3 The Language screen appears. The current setting is checked (ä).
