Tips, Safety, Maintenance
m Always follow basic safety precautions. Refer to the “Important Safety
Instructions” booklet packed with your camera.
m Do not allow any chemicals, such as suntan lotion, to come into contact
with the painted surface of the camera.
m 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.
m Clean the lens and back LCD:
1 Blow gently on the lens or LCD to remove dust and dirt.
2 Moisten the lens or LCD by breathing lightly on it.
3 Wipe the lens or LCD gently with a soft, lint-free cloth or an untreated
lens-cleaning tissue.
Do not use cleaning solutions unless they are designed specifically for
camera lenses. Do not wipe the camera lens or LCD with chemically
treated eyeglass lens tissue. It may scratch the lens.
m Clean the outside of the camera by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Never use
harsh or abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on the camera or any of its
parts.
m Service agreements are available in some countries. Please contact a dealer
of Kodak products for more information.

Picture Storage Capacities
Picture file sizes can vary. You may be able to store more or fewer pictures.
Purchase cards on our Web site at http://www.kodak.com/go/accessories.
Locating Pictures on an MMC/SD Card
Pictures stored on MMC/SD Cards use a standard agreed upon by many camera
manufacturers. This lets you use the cards in different cameras. If you use a
card reader to retrieve your files, the following description of the card file
structure may be helpful.
MISC folder—contains the order files created when you use the Share
feature to tag files for printing, emailing, and as favorites.
SYSTEM folder—used for updating camera firmware.
DCIM folder—root level folder, contains the 100K4230 folder. Each time you
turn on the camera or insert a different card, any empty folders within the
DCIM folder are removed.
100K4230 subfolder—contains all the pictures on the card.
Store this many pictures at:

Chapter 11
Card File Naming Conventions
m Pictures are named DCP_nnnn.JPG, and are numbered in the order in
which they are taken. The first picture is named DCP_0001.JPG; the highest
number allowed is DCP_9999.JPG.
m When a card contains a picture named DCP_9999.JPG in the
\DCIM\100K4230 folder, subsequent pictures appear in a new folder
(\DCIM\101K4230), beginning with picture DCP_0001.JPG.
m Even if you transfer pictures to the computer or delete pictures from the
camera, the camera continues to use consecutive numbers for all
subsequent pictures. For example, if the last picture taken was
DCP_0007.JPG and you delete it, the next picture you take is named
DCP_0008.JPG.
m When you insert a different card into your camera, the next picture number
is defined by incrementing the higher of the last picture taken by the
camera, or the highest existing picture number in the folder.
m If you use the card in a camera other than the KODAK EASYSHARE CX4230
Zoom Digital Camera, and that camera manufacturer adheres to this file
structure standard, the \DCIM folder contains a folder named by that
camera. For more information, refer to the documentation that
accompanied that camera.
85
Chapter 11
Using Your Batteries
m Replacement Types—your camera can use the following battery types:
– 2, 1.5 volt AA lithium batteries
– 1, KODAK CRV3 Lithium Battery *
– 1, KODAK EASYSHARE Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery Pack,
rechargeable in the KODAK EASYSHARE Camera Docks *
– 2, 1.2 volt AA Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries, rechargeable *
* Purchase these batteries on our Web site at http://www.kodak.com/go/
accessories.
For acceptable battery life, and to make sure your camera operates
dependably, we do not recommend or support alkaline batteries.
m To lengthen battery life, limit the following activities:
– Using Liveview (using the LCD as the viewfinder, see page 14)
– Reviewing your pictures on the LCD (see page 25)
– Excessive use of the flash
m NOT ALL BATTERIES ARE CREATED EQUAL! Battery life depends
significantly on battery age, usage conditions, type, and brand. Digital
camera requirements are very demanding on batteries. Not all batteries
perform well under these challenging conditions. For a comparison of
different battery types, refer to the Battery Option sheet that is included
with your camera.
m Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41 °F (5 °C). Carry
spare batteries when using your camera in cold weather, and keep them
warm until you are ready to take pictures. Do not discard cold batteries
that do not work. When they return to room temperature, they may
be usable.

Battery-Saving Features
The LCD or camera turn off when the camera has been inactive.
Optional AC Adapter
To save battery power, purchase a KODAK Digital Camera AC Adapter, 3-Volt on
our Web site at http://www.kodak.com/go/accessories.
m Use the AC Adapter, 3-Volt when reviewing,
copying, and transferring pictures.
m Connect the 3-Volt adapter to the camera’s
DC-in port and to a power outlet.
CAUTION:
Do not use the Digital Camera AC Adapter, 3-Volt with a
