– Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen (see page 37)
– Using Liveview (see page 20)
– Using Quickview (see page 21 and page 34).
– Excessive use of the flash
m Purchase an optional Kodak 3-volt AC adapter to power your camera (see
page 95).
m Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare camera dock II (see page 61). The
camera dock II powers your camera, transfers pictures, and is a battery
charger for its included Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery
pack.
m Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare printer dock 4000 (see page 61).
The printer dock 4000 powers your camera, makes 4 x 6 prints with or

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 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.

Battery Safety and Handling

Installing the Camera Insert
Kodak EasyShare digital cameras are packaged with a custom camera insert,
which is used to fit the camera to the camera dock.

1 Place the front tabs on the custom insert
into the slots in the camera dock cavity.

2 Fit the insert down into the cavity and snap
the insert into place.

If You Do Not Have the Custom Insert
If you do not have the custom insert that was included with your camera, use
the universal insert that is included with the camera dock II.
NOTE: The universal insert works with all Kodak EasyShare cameras. However,
it may not match the perfect fit that the custom camera insert provides.
Take extra care when placing the camera in the camera dock so that the
dock connector and pins are not damaged.
Purchase accessories at a dealer of Kodak products. See
www.kodak.com/go/dx4530accessories.

Chapter 9

Connecting the Camera Dock
After the Kodak EasyShare software is loaded (see page 55), connect the
camera dock to your computer and to an external power source. You need:
m The USB cable included with your camera
m The AC power adapter, 7V included with the camera dock

CAUTION:
Use only the 7V AC adapter included with the camera dock.
Other adapters may cause damage to your camera, camera
dock, or computer. Make sure the camera is not in the
camera dock when connecting the dock to power and to the
computer. Do not plug the 7V adapter into the camera.

1 Plug the labeled

end of the USB cable
into the labeled USB port on your computer.
See your computer User’s Guide for details.
2 Plug the other end of the USB cable into the
square USB connector on the back of the
camera dock.
3 Plug the 7V AC adapter into the round
power connector on the back of the camera
dock and into a power outlet.
Your AC adapter may be different from
the one pictured or may have additional
plugs. Use the plug that accommodates
your type of power outlet.
Leave the camera dock connected to the
computer for easy transferring of pictures
and videos and for charging the battery.

Chapter 9

Installing the Battery in the Camera
The camera dock will only charge the Ni-MH battery (not other batteries).

1 Turn off the camera.
2 Open the battery door.

3 Install the battery as shown.

CAUTION:
The battery can only be inserted
into the camera as shown. If the
battery does not install,
reposition it and try again. DO
NOT FORCE IT; doing so can
damage your camera.
4 Close the battery door.
IMPORTANT: The battery is not charged when you receive it. See
page 66 for charging instructions.

m Full charging takes about 2.5 hours. After the battery is fully charged,
leave the camera in the camera dock to maintain the full charge.

m Charging stops if you turn on the camera. If the camera is left in the

camera dock with the power on, charging resumes when the camera
enters Auto Power-off (see page 95).
NOTE: The camera dock only charges the provided Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH
rechargeable battery. If you place the camera in the camera dock with
any other type of batteries, rechargeable or not, no charging takes

camera dock and connect the tripod directly to the camera.

Chapter 9

Earlier Camera Dock Model
If you have the Kodak EasyShare camera dock, not the camera dock II, the
functionality is exactly the same as described in this chapter. The only
difference is that the earlier camera dock has one indicator light.

Indicator

Indicator light status:
Steady green—camera is properly seated
in the camera dock.
Blinking green— pictures and videos are
transferring.
Steady red—battery is charging.
Blinking red—error condition.

IMPORTANT: When using the earlier camera dock, several
discharge/recharge cycles may be necessary so that the
battery holds a full charge.

Upgrading Your Software and Firmware
Download the latest versions of the software included on the Kodak EasyShare
software CD and the camera firmware (the software that runs on the camera).
See www.kodak.com/go/dx4530downloads.

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 camera screen:
1 Blow gently on the lens or camera screen to remove dust and dirt.
2 Moisten the lens or camera screen by breathing lightly on it.
3 Wipe the lens or camera screen gently with a soft, lint-free cloth or an
untreated lens-cleaning tissue.
m 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.
m Service agreements are available in some countries. Contact a dealer of
Kodak products for more information.
m For digital camera disposal or recycling information, please contact your
local authorities. In the US, see the Electronics Industry Alliance Web site at
www.eiae.org or the Kodak Web site at
www.kodak.com/go/dx4530support.

Locating Pictures and Videos on a Card
Pictures stored on SD/MMC 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 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 100K4530 folder. When you
turn on the camera or insert a different card, empty folders in the DCIM folder
are removed.
100K4530 subfolder—contains all the pictures on the card.

Card File 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\100K4530 folder, subsequent pictures appear in a new folder
(\DCIM\101K4530), 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 DX4530
zoom digital camera, and that camera manufacturer adheres to this file
structure standard, the \DCIM folder contains a folder named by that
camera.
