Choosing Internal Memory or Picture Card
The KODAK DX3600 Zoom Digital Camera offers two storage options: internal
camera memory or optional removable Picture Cards.
Internal Memory—take and store up to 90 seconds of video or 50 pictures
at Good Quality (35 seconds of video or 16 pictures at Best Quality) in the
camera’s 8 MB of internal memory. You always have memory in the camera,
even if you don’t have a Picture Card with you.
Picture Card—take and store as many pictures and videos as you like,
depending on the size and number of cards you have. Videos take more
memory space than pictures; consider purchasing a larger size Picture Card
for videos.
You can capture pictures or videos on a Picture Card, then copy and save your
favorites into internal memory (see page 35).
For internal memory and Picture Card storage capacities, see page 84.
Optional KODAK Picture Cards can be purchased separately on our Web site at
http://www.kodak.com/go/accessories.

Using Your Batteries
mReplacement Types—your camera can use the following battery types:
–2, 1.5 volt AA lithium batteries
–1, KODAK Lithium Battery KCRV3 *
–1, KODAK Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery Pack, rechargeable in the
Camera Dock *
–2, 1.2 volt AA Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries, rechargeable *
* These batteries can be purchased by visiting 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.
mTo lengthen battery life, limit the following activities:
–Using Preview (using the LCD as the viewfinder, see page 19)
–Reviewing your pictures on the LCD (see page 31)
–Taking videos (videos use more battery power than still pictures)
–Excessive use of the flash
mWhen using rechargeable batteries, do not exceed the mAH capacity of
your battery charger.
mNOT 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.
mBattery 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. Once they are warmed, they may be usable.
82
Chapter 11
Tips, Safety, Maintenance
mAlways follow basic safety precautions. Refer to the “Important Safety
Instructions” booklet packed with your camera.
mDo not allow any chemicals, such as suntan lotion, to come into contact
with the painted surface of the camera.
mIf 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 Picture Card. Allow all components to air-dry for at least 24
hours before using the camera again.
mClean the lens and back LCD screen:
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.
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. It may scratch the lens.
mClean 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.
mService agreements are available in some countries. Please contact a dealer
of Kodak products for more information.

Picture/Video Storage Capacities
Picture Cards are available in many different sizes, or storage capacities. The
table below indicates how many pictures or videos, using typical file sizes, can
be stored on different size Picture Cards or in the camera’s internal memory.
Picture and video file sizes can vary. You may be able to store more or fewer
pictures or videos.
KODAK Picture Cards can be purchased separately on our Web site at http://
www.kodak.com/go/accessories.
Use only certified cards that carry the CompactFlash logo.
Locating Files on a Picture Card
Pictures and videos stored on a KODAK Picture Card use a standard agreed
upon by many camera manufacturers. This allows you to use the Picture Card
in different cameras. If you use a card reader to retrieve your files or you
cannot locate them using the software, the following description of the Picture
Card file structure may be helpful.
MISC folder—contains the Print Order file created when you use the Print
Order feature.
SYSTEM folder—used for updating camera firmware.

Chapter 11
DCIM folder—root level folder, contains the 100K3600 folder. Each time you
turn on the camera or insert a different Picture Card, any empty folders within
the DCIM folder are removed.
100K3600 subfolder—contains all the pictures or videos taken when a
Picture Card is inserted in the camera and the storage location is set to Auto.
File Naming Conventions
The camera maintains separate and sequential numbering sequences for the
internal memory and Picture Card. Pictures are named DCP_nnnn.JPG and
videos are named DCP_nnnn.MOV. The naming conventions described here
apply to both .JPG and .MOV files. Files 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.
File Naming Conventions on a Picture Card
mWhen a Picture Card contains a file named DCP_9999.JPG in the
\DCIM\100K3600 folder, subsequent pictures appear in a new folder
(\DCIM\101K3600), beginning with picture DCP_0001.JPG.
mEven if you transfer files to the computer or delete files from the camera,
the camera continues to use consecutive numbers for all subsequent
pictures and videos. For example, if the last picture taken was
DCP_0007.JPG and you delete it, the next picture or video you take is
named DCP_0008.JPG or .MOV.
mWhen you insert a different Picture 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.
mIf you use the Picture Card in a camera other than the DX3600 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.
86
Chapter 11
File Naming Conventions in Internal Memory
mThe camera’s internal memory contains your stored pictures and videos,
with no folders or subfolders.
mWhen you format the internal memory, the numbering sequence restarts at
DCP_0001.
mWhen the internal memory contains a picture named DCP_9999, the next
picture taken is named with the lowest unused number. For example, if the
internal memory contains DCP_0002, DCP_0004, and DCP_9999, the next
picture taken is named DCP_0003.
File Naming Conventions After a Copy
Your camera maintains separate numbering sequences for the files in the
internal memory, and for the files on the Picture Card. When you copy a picture
or video, it is renumbered sequentially in the new location.
For example, in the Before Copy list below, the two files in the internal memory
are copied to the Picture Card. After Copy, the copied files are renumbered on
the Picture Card as DCP_0004 and DCP_0005. Additionally, if DCP_0005 is
deleted, the next file copied to the Picture Card is named DCP_0006. In the
internal memory, the original files and their numbers are unchanged.
