purchase one as an accessory. For details about available accessories, ask your
dealer of KODAK products.

adapter, use the type of plug that matches
your power outlet.

Previewing a Picture Before it is Taken
To see what a picture looks like before you take it, preview the image on the
LCD on the back of your camera. The live image that appears is very helpful for
framing your subject, especially when using the Close-Up, Digital Zoom, and
Border features. If you want to take pictures in black and white or sepia tone,
or highlight text, Preview can help you make that decision. With Preview,
batteries are quickly drained, so use a KODAK-specified AC adapter
whenever possible.

Setting the Flash
When taking pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy shadows, your
pictures need flash. For everyday picture-taking, use the Auto setting. However,
there are times when changing the flash option can improve your pictures. For
instance, if you are taking pictures of people indoors or at night, you can help
reduce the likelihood of red eye by using the Red-Eye setting. When your
subject is outdoors under heavy shadows, you can eliminate those shadows by
using the Fill flash. In situations where the use of flash is prohibited, as in
museums, you can turn off the flash.

Adding the Date to Your Pictures
You may want to keep track of when a picture was taken, perhaps to record a
child’s first picture or for an insurance claim. Whatever the reason, your
camera has the ability to 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 8 for details. Once a
picture is taken with the date stamp, the date stamp cannot be removed.

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. Because your camera is so versatile, you have the ability to set the
camera for almost any picture taking situation you may encounter. With the
camera, you can:
Adjust the exposure for pictures that are too light or too dark.
Frame your pictures with interesting borders supplied on the camera
memory card and software CD.
Capture pictures in color, black and white, sepia tone, or highlight text
in documents.
Adjust the ISO sensitivity for low light photography without flash.
Select specific picture quality and resolution settings to meet your
demanding picture-taking needs.
Set white balancing options, so you get great color reproduction in
your pictures.
Adjust the metering system to control how light affects
your pictures.
Sharpen and soften pictures so editing in software can be
done easier.
Lock the exposure for a consistent look in all your pictures.
28
Adjusting the Camera Exposure
If your pictures seem too dark or too light, adjust the amount of light allowed
into the camera so that your pictures are properly exposed. These adjustments
in lighting are called Exposure Compensation.

Adding a Border to Your Picture
You can add a border or logo (or both) to your picture. When you use the

like the border, go ahead and take the picture. If you do not like the border,
select a different one. Although borders are not included on the camera
memory card, you can create and add your own borders or logos. For more
information, refer to the KODAK DC3400 Border Transfer Application online

Saving Camera Power
The Power Save feature helps extend battery life by shortening the time that the
camera power stays on when not in use. For your convenience, the Power Save
setting is automatically activated. If situations arise where you need the camera
power to stay on for a longer period of inactivity, such as connecting the
camera to a computer, turn off the Power Save feature to have more time to
work before the camera automatically shuts off.

Formatting Your Camera Memory Card
If you own camera memory cards (CompactFlash cards) that have been used
in other digital cameras, they may not be properly formatted for use in your
camera, or the data on the card may 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 pictures, borders and all other files. You can create and
add borders to the camera memory card. For more information, refer to the

Connecting Your Camera
To transfer pictures taken with your KODAK DC3400 Digital Camera, you first
need to connect the camera to your computer or use a card reader. The
camera can communicate with your computer using one of the following:
RS-232 serial cable connection for Windows-based computers.
Serial cable or adapter plug for Macintosh computers.
Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable connection for Windows 98 and
2000-based personal computers and Macintosh computers.
Card reader. This does not require connecting your camera to your
computer, but is another way to get your pictures from the camera. If
you do not have a card reader, you can purchase one as an accessory.
For details about available accessories, ask a dealer of KODAK
products.

Navigating to Your Pictures
Pictures are stored on the camera memory card according to a standard
agreed upon by many camera manufacturers. This standard allows you to use
the camera memory card in different cameras.
Most KODAK applications supplied on the Installer CD guides you to your
pictures on the camera memory card; however, if you use the Mounter software
or a card reader to retrieve your pictures or you cannot locate your pictures
using the software provided, the following description of the camera file
structure may be helpful.
Root level folder is named \DCIM. Each time you turn on the camera
or insert a camera memory card, any empty folders within the \DCIM
folder are removed.
Typically, all pictures taken with the camera are stored in the
\DCIM\100K3400 folder.
Pictures are numbered in the order in which they are taken. The first
picture is named DCP_0001.JPG, which is stored in the
\DCIM\100K3400 folder.
When you transfer pictures to the computer, or delete pictures from
the camera memory card, the camera uses consecutive numbers for
subsequent pictures. For example, if the last picture taken was
DCP_0007.JPG, the next picture is DCP_0008.JPG.
7
105
When you insert the camera memory card into another DC3400
camera, the next picture is derived by incrementing either the highest
existing picture number, or the highest picture number previously
taken by that camera.
Once you take picture DCP_9999.JPG in the \DCIM\100K3400 folder,
subsequent pictures will appear in a new folder (\DCIM\101K3400) on the
camera memory card, beginning with picture DCP_0001.JPG.
If you use the camera memory card in a camera other than the DC3400
camera, and that camera manufacturer adheres to this file structure standard,
the \DCIM folder will contain a folder named by that camera. Any pictures
taken with that camera are stored in the folder using the naming conventions
established by the manufacturer. For more information, refer to the
documentation that accompanied that camera.

Tips and Troubleshooting
There may be times when questions arise from using your KODAK DC3400
Digital Camera. This chapter can point you in the right direction for finding the
answers quickly, so you can continue using your camera. This chapter provides
the following information:
Connecting with your camera
Communicating with the computer
Adjusting your monitor

Troubleshooting tips
108
Connecting with Your Camera
If you are getting messages on your computer that state you are not connected,
refer to the PDF documents installed with the software, or the online help for
troubleshooting information. If you are connecting to a:
Windows-based Serial connection—refer to Serial.PDF
Windows-based USB connection—refer to USB.PDF
Macintosh computer—refer to Connect.PDF
Communicating with the Computer
If the camera cannot communicate with your computer you may need to adjust
the port and/or speed settings. If you are using a
Windows-based computer, the port and speed setting can be adjusted using the
KODAK DC3400 Camera Controls Software, or the KODAK DC3400 Digital
Access Software (TWAIN Acquire). If you are using a Macintosh computer, the
port and speed settings can be adjusted using the KODAK DC3400 Digital
Access Software (Plug-In Acquire), or the KODAK DC3400 Picture Transfer
Application. Information on using these applications can be found in the online
help for each software application.
Adjusting Your Monitor for Better Viewing
Your monitor display settings may need to be adjusted to view pictures from
the camera. Refer to your computer’s User’s Guide for information on how to
adjust your monitor’s display settings.

109
Getting Better Results from Your Printer
You may notice that the colors on your computer screen do not always match
those in your documents or prints. This is because monitors and printers use
different color systems.
You may be able to achieve more predictable results in your printed
documents by:
Improving the quality of your paper. Copier paper may not offer the
same results as coated paper or paper made especially for inkjet
printers.
Adjusting your printer software settings.
Using fresh ink cartridges. Do not use ink cartridges beyond their
life expectancy.
Remember these few tips when it comes time to print your document:
Color printing takes more time. More complex pictures increase the
printing and drying time.
Color printing is more memory intensive than black and white. If your
computer gives you an insufficient memory message, you may need to
close some applications, change some settings, or add additional
memory.
Color prints may not photocopy as clearly as black and white. If you
plan to photocopy documents, you should consider printing the
document in grayscale. This setting is usually changed from the Print
dialog box.
Resizing the picture to a smaller size or printing the picture on glossy
paper may increase the quality of the print.
To improve the quality of your prints, you may want to print your pictures on
KODAK Inkjet Snapshot Paper (Snapshot Paper). Snapshot Paper is made to
work with most inkjet printers to give you clearer, crisper, and more detailed
images on your prints.

General Maintenance and Safety
Always follow basic safety precautions, refer to the “Important Safety
Instructions” booklet packed with your camera.
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.
Do not get the camera wet. If water gets inside the camera, it may cause
electrical shock or malfunction. If you suspect water has gotten inside the
camera, stop using it immediately and contact the service center.
Do not allow any chemicals, such as suntan lotion to come into contact
with the painted surface of the camera.
The camera is not waterproof. 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 batteries and camera memory card
Never disassemble or touch the inside of the camera. This could result in
electrical shock.
If you notice smoke or a strange smell coming from the camera,
immediately turn off the camera, wait a few minutes until the camera
cools, then remove the batteries. Contact your Technical Support Center.
If you use the camera in an airplane, observe the instructions of the airline
company. Radio waves emitted by the camera may effect the airplane
instruments.
Use only a Kodak-specified 7V AC Adapter with your camera. Use of a
different adapter, or one with a different voltage, may cause damage to the
camera and the batteries.
134
Clean the lens and back LCD screen:
Do not use cleaning solutions unless they are designed specifically for
camera lenses. Do not wipe the camera lens or LCD screen with
chemically treated eyeglass lens tissue as it may scratch the lens.
1
Blow gently on the lens or LCD screen to remove dust and dirt.
2
Moisten the lens or LCD screen by breathing lightly on it.
3
Wipe the lens or LCD screen gently with a soft, lint-free cloth or an
untreated lens-cleaning tissue.
Service agreements are available in some countries. Please contact a
dealer of KODAK products for more information.
11
135
Using Your Batteries
Read and follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the battery
manufacturer.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Remove the batteries when the camera is stored for extended periods
of time.
Do not attempt to disassemble, short circuit the battery, or subject it to
high temperature or fire.
Your camera has been designed to operate correctly using a variety of
AA-size batteries currently available. These include 1.5 volt alkaline
batteries, and rechargeable 1.2 volt Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH)
batteries.
Replace all batteries of a set at the same time. Newly purchased
batteries should not be mixed with used ones. Do not mix chargeable
and nonchargeable batteries. Do not mix alkaline, Ni-MH, or Ni-Cd
types of batteries. Do not mix different grades or brands of batteries.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in some batteries in a set
being driven beyond their normal exhaust point and increase their
possibility of leakage.
NOT ALL BATTERIES ARE CREATED EQUAL! Battery life depends
significantly on age, usage conditions, type, brand, and camera.
Digital camera requirements are very demanding on batteries. Not all
batteries perform well under these challenging conditions. In Kodak
lab tests, Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) rechargeable batteries
delivered the best results in a variety of conditions. Ni-MH batteries
are designed for high-demand devices, like digital cameras, and do
not exhibit the “memory” effects seen with other rechargeable
technologies.
136
If you elect to use alkaline batteries in your camera, you will obtain
better performance from “photo-flash grade” alkaline batteries, such
as KODAK PHOTOLIFE. These types of batteries last more than twice as
long in digital cameras as ordinary alkaline batteries. Alkaline
batteries are not rechargeable, do not attempt to recharge them in the
battery charger.
When using your camera on battery power, limit continuous LCD
Preview or Review to sessions which are shorter than 10 minutes. If
you are using the Preview or Review functions of the camera for
periods greater than 10 minutes, it is recommended that you do so
with the camera powered by the AC adapter.
Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 32°F (0°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, once warmed, they may be usable.
When disposing of batteries, follow the manufacturer’s instructions
and applicable regulations. Kodak encourages customers to take
advantage of any community battery recycling programs that may exist
in your area. Contact your local waste remover or recycler for details.
In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks inside the camera, U.S.
customers can contact the Kodak Information Center (KIC) at
1-800-242-2424. Customers outside the U.S. can contact their local
Kodak Customer Service representative.
11
137
In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks onto your skin, wash
immediately with water and contact your local health provider. For
additional health related information please contact Kodak Health,
Safety and Environment Information at 1-716-722-5151 in the U.S.
Customers outside the U.S. can contact their local Kodak Customer
Service representative.
When removing batteries, allow to cool before touching, since the
batteries may be hot.
