Appendix
Extending battery life
I See Auto Power Off (see page 38).
I Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:
– Reviewing your pictures on the LCD (see page 17)

– Excessive use of the flash
I Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a clean,
dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.
I Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41° F (5° C). When using
your camera in cold weather, carry spare batteries and keep them warm. Do not
discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature,
they may be usable.
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
Care and maintenance
I If you suspect water has gotten inside the camera, remove the battery and card.
Allow all components to air-dry for at least 24 hours before using the camera.
I Blow gently on the lens or LCD to remove dust and dirt. Wipe gently with a soft,
lint-free cloth or an untreated lens-cleaning tissue. Do not use cleaning solutions
unless designed specifically for camera lenses. Do not allow chemicals, such as
suntan lotion, to contact painted surfaces.
I Service agreements may be available in your country. Contact a dealer of Kodak
products for more information.

service will include all labor as well as any necessary adjustments and/or replacement
parts. If Kodak is unable to repair or replace a Product, Kodak will, at its option,
refund the purchase price paid for the Product provided the Product has been
returned to Kodak along with proof of the purchase price paid. Repair, replacement,
or refund of the purchase price are the sole remedies under the warranty.
If replacement parts are used in making repairs, those parts may be remanufactured,
or may contain remanufactured materials. If it is necessary to replace the entire

Appendix
Limitations
This warranty does not cover circumstances beyond Kodak’s control. This warranty
does not apply when failure is due to shipping damage, accident, alteration,
modification, unauthorized service, misuse, abuse, use with incompatible accessories
or attachments (such as third party ink or ink tanks), failure to follow Kodak’s
operation, maintenance or repacking instructions, failure to use items supplied by
Kodak (such as adapters and cables), or claims made after the duration of this
warranty.
Kodak makes no other express or implied warranty for this product, and
disclaims the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a
particular purpose. In the event that the exclusion of any implied warranty is
ineffective under the law, the duration of the implied warranty will be one year from
the purchase date or such longer period as required by law.
The option of repair, replacement, or refund is Kodak’s only obligation. Kodak will not
be responsible for any special, consequential or incidental damages resulting from the
sale, purchase, or use of this product regardless of the cause. Liability for any special,
consequential or incidental damages (including but not limited to loss of revenue or
profit, downtime costs, loss of the use of the equipment, cost of substitute
equipment, facilities or services, or claims of your customers for such damages
resulting from the purchase use or failure of the Product), regardless of cause or for
breach of any written or implied warranty is expressly disclaimed.
Your rights
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific rights, and you may have other rights which vary from
state to state or by jurisdiction.
