Extending Battery Life
mLimit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:
–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
mPurchase an optional Kodak 3-volt AC adapter to power your camera (see
page 95).
mPurchase 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.
mPurchase an optional Kodak EasyShare printer dock 4000 (see page 61).
The printer dock 4000 powers your camera, makes 4 x 6 prints with or
without a computer, transfers pictures, and is also a battery charger for its
included Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack.
mDirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a
clean, dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.
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. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they
return to room temperature, they may be usable.
Battery Safety and Handling
mDo not allow batteries to touch metal objects, including coins. Otherwise, a
battery may short circuit, discharge energy, become hot, or leak.
mFor rechargeable battery disposal information, see the Rechargeable
Battery Recycling Corporation Web site at www.rbrc.com.

in the camera dock.
Blinking green— pictures and videos are
transferring.
Steady red—battery is charging.
Blinking red—error condition.

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
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 card. Allow all components to air-dry for at least 24 hours
before using the camera again.
mClean 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.
mDo 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.
mWipe 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.
mService agreements are available in some countries. Contact a dealer of
Kodak products for more information.
mFor 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

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
mPictures 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.
mWhen 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.
mEven 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.
mWhen 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.
mIf 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.

Power-Saving Features
