Picture-Taking Modes
Use this mode For:
Auto General picture-taking. Automatically sets exposure,
focus, and flash.
Sport Subjects that are in motion. Shutter speed is fast.
Portrait Full-frame portraits of people. Allows the subject to be
sharp and the background to be indistinct. For best
results, fill the frame with a head-and-shoulders pose.
Use the Telephoto (T) zoom button to exaggerate
background blur.
Night Night scenes or low-light conditions. For shutter
speeds slower than 1/60 second, place the camera on
a flat, steady surface or use a tripod. Due to slow
shutter speeds, advise people to stay still for a few
seconds after the flash fires.
Landscape Distant subjects. Flash does not fire unless you turn it
on. Auto focus framing marks (see page 19) are not
available in Landscape.
Close-up Close subjects 4-24 in. (10-60 cm) from the lens in
Wide Angle; 9.8-33.5 in. (25-85 cm) in Telephoto. Use
available light instead of flash if possible. Use the
camera screen to frame the subject.

Chapter 2
PAS Mode
Use PAS mode when you want ultimate
creative control.
PAS mode gives you quick access to
Program, Aperture priority, and
Shutter priority modes.
See page 16 for directions on how to select
the modes and settings in PAS mode.
Program Mode
Use Program mode when you want to manually control exposure
compensation (how much light enters the camera). The camera automatically
sets the shutter speed and aperture (f-stop) based on the scene lighting.
Aperture Priority Mode
Use Aperture priority mode when you want to manually control aperture and
exposure compensation. The camera automatically sets the shutter speed for
proper exposure. Aperture priority mode is primarily used to control depth of
field (the range of sharpness).
NOTE: The aperture setting may be affected when using optical zoom.
Shutter Priority Mode
Use Shutter priority mode when you want to manually control the shutter speed
and exposure compensation. The camera automatically sets the aperture for
proper exposure. Shutter priority mode is primarily used to prevent blur when
your subject is moving. Use a tripod for shutter speeds slower than 1/60".
PAS Ultimate creative control. Choose from Program,
Aperture priority, or Shutter priority. See page 15 and
page 16 for a full discussion of PAS mode.
Video Capture video with sound. See Taking Videos, page 41.

Tips, Safety, Maintenance
m Always follow basic safety precautions. Refer to the “Important Safety
Instructions” booklet packed with your camera.
m Do not allow 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. If this does not resolve the problem,
contact customer support (page 97).
m Clean the lens and camera screen:
1 Blow gently on the lens or camera screen to remove dust and dirt.
2 Wipe the lens or camera screen 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 camera screen with
chemically treated eyeglass lens tissue. It may scratch the lens.
m Wipe the outside of the camera with a clean, dry cloth. Never use harsh or
abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on the camera or any of its parts.

Picture Storage Capacity
Locating Pictures and Videos on a Card
Pictures stored on MMC/SD Cards use a standard (DCF-Digital Camera
Format) 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; also contains the
address book and album names copied from the computer.
SYSTEM folder—created and used while updating camera firmware.
DCIM folder—root level folder, contains the 100K6340 folder. Each time you
turn on the camera or insert a different card, any empty folders within the
DCIM folder are removed.
100K6340 subfolder—initially contains all pictures and videos on the card.
Album tags are stored here with the picture or video.

Picture Naming Conventions
m Pictures are named 100_nnnn.JPG, and are numbered in the order in
which they are taken. The first picture is named 100_0001.JPG; the highest
number allowed is 100_9999.JPG.
m When a card contains a picture named 100_9999.JPG in the
\DCIM\100K6340 folder, subsequent pictures appear in a new folder
(\DCIM\101K6340), beginning with picture 101_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
100_0007.JPG and you delete it, the next picture you take is named
100_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 DX6340
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.
Burst Pictures
When a burst series is initiated, a letter “B” replaces the underscore in the file
name. When a burst series is initiated or ended, the second digit to the left of
the decimal is incremented by 1.

– 2, Kodak digital camera batteries, AA *
– 2, 1.2 volt AA nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries, rechargeable *
– 2, 1.5 volt AA lithium batteries
* Purchase these batteries on our Web site at
www.kodak.com/go/dx6340accessories.
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 camera screen as the viewfinder, see
page 18)
– Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen (see page 47)
– Excessive use of the flash
m Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a
clean, dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.
m Battery life depends significantly on battery age, usage conditions, and type.
Digital cameras are demanding on batteries. Not all batteries perform well
under these challenging conditions.
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. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they
return to room temperature, they may be usable.
m Do not allow batteries to touch metal objects, including coins. Otherwise, a
battery may short circuit, discharge energy, become hot, or leak.
