2 P r eparing to T a ke Picture s Befor e you start taking pictures with your camera, you first need to install the batteries or connect a Kodak-specified AC adapter for power , and insert a KODAK Pictur e Card ( camera memory car d) into the camera.
3 1 Checking B atteries So you are never caught with dead batteries, your camera indicates the power level of the batteries in the fo rm of a battery status symbol, which appear in the S tatus Display when you turn on the camera. For information on guidelines for battery usage, see page 66.
4 Inser ting a Camer a Memor y Car d Y our camera comes with a KODAK Pictur e Card (camera memory c ard), that is used to stor e pictures taken wi th the camera. The camera memory card, a lso referr ed to as a CompactFlash car d, is removable and reusable for easy storage and transfe r of your pictures.
5 1 Setting the Cloc k on Y our Camera Y our camera has a built-in clock that maint ains the date and time in a 24-hour format. The cam era clock needs to be set if you plan to use the Date Stamp feature, which imprints the date on your picture. For information on using the Date Stamp feature, see page 22.
6 Adjusting the LCD Bright ness You can adjus t the brightness level o f the colo r LCD to suit your particular needs. 1 W ith the camera on, set the Slider switch to Prefer ences. The P ref er ences scre en ap pears. 2 Pres s a bu tton until the icon is highligh ted.
7 2 2 T aking Pictur es Y our DC215 camera makes taking pi ctures fun. Just set the camera to Capture an d you are on your w ay to creating gr eat pictures. Everything you need is right at your fingertips. W ith the DC215 camera yo u can: q Preview the pic ture before it is taken.
8 P r eviewing a P ictur e Be for e it is T aken If you want to see what a pictur e looks like before you ta ke it, you can preview the image on the LCD on the back of your camera. The live image that ap pears i s helpf ul f or framin g your subject, especi al ly when using the Close-Up and T e m plate features.
9 2 Capturing a Pictur e T aking p ictures is a sn ap wit h your DC2 15 camera. Y ou can t ake a picture as close as 1.6 ft ( 0.5 m) in wide an gle or 3.
10 Photogr aphing Close-Ups If you want to take pictur es of objects up close, such as flo wers or artwork, use the Close-Up featur e. When selected, the camera automatica lly sets the focus distan ce to 8 in. (0.2 m) and sets the fla sh to ensure detail an d clarity .
11 2 P utting Y ours elf in the Picture There might be times when you want everyone, including yourself, to be in the picture. For these occasions, use the Self-T imer feature to create a 10-second delay between th e time yo u press the Shutter button and the time the picture is taken.
12 Viewing and Deleting the Pictur e Just T aken Y ou can view a pi cture seconds after it is taken with a touch o f a butto n. This is a convenien t way to check if the pict ure you just too k was positioned corr ectly , and decide if you want to keep it or delete it to save space on the camera memory car d.
13 2 Setting the Flash When taking pictures at nigh t, indo ors, or outdoors in hea vy shadows, your pictures need flash. Y our camera has five different flash options with a range of 10 ft (3.0 m) to accom modate most picture-taking situatio ns. 1 W it h the camera on, set the S lider switch to Capture.
14 Adjusting the Camer a Exposure If your pictures seem too dark or too light, you can adju st the amoun t of light allowed into the camera so your pictures ar e properly exposed. These adjustments in lighting are called Exposur e Compensation. 1 W ith the camera on, set the Slider switch to Cap tur e.
15 2 Locking in an Expos ur e Setting If you ar e taking a series of pictures that r equire a con sistent look or a constant exposur e setting, use the Exposure Lock f eature. This featur e is great fo r taking a series of pictur es, like a mountain range, and cr eating a mural with the prints .
16 D eleting the Pictur e Just T aken If you decide that you do not like a picture, you can delete it from the camera memory car d immediately after it is taken. For the Quick Delete feature to w ork, the picture must be displayed on th e LCD, so Quickview needs to be activated.

19 3 Adjusting the Pictur e Quality If you intend to make la rge prints, you can capt ure more detail in the picture using the Best setting, but less ro om is available on the camera memory car d. For everyday pictures, use the B etter setting, which gives you more pictur es and more storage space.
