Powering Your
Camera

2

Before using your camera, you must insert batteries or connect the camera to the Kodak-
specified AC adapter. Two battery trays and a Kodak-specified AC adapter are included
with your camera.

When shooting outdoor scenes or in any location where AC power isn’t convenient, you
will power the camera with batteries. When working indoors, you may want to use the
Kodak-specified AC adapter. Using the integrated flash or the Image LCD panel,
processing TIFF files into finished JPEG images, or extensive AF operation will shorten
battery life.

When your camera is connected to a computer, you can use batteries, the Kodak-specified
AC adapter or both, but since lengthy computer sessions can shorten battery life it is
recommended that you use the AC adapter.
