Previewing a Picture Before it is Taken

If you want to see what a picture looks like before you take it, you can preview the image on the LCD on the back of your camera. The live image that appears is very helpful for framing your subject, especially when using the Close-Up, Digital Zoom, and Border features. If you want to take pictures in black and white or sepia tone, or to highlight text, Preview can help you make that decision. With Preview, batteries are easily drained, so use an AC adapter specified by Kodak whenever possible.

  1. Set the Mode dial to Capture.
  2. Slide the POWER switch to the right to turn on the camera.
  3. Press the DO-IT button.

    The LCD displays a live image with the icons of activated camera features.

    The image in the LCD appears in color unless you have turned on an effect, such as black and white or sepia tone, in which case the effect is applied to the displayed image, see Capturing in Black-and-White, Sepia Tone, or Document.

      
    Exposure Compensation
    icon appears in the LCD and Status Display if you adjusted the camera exposure, see Adjusting the Camera Exposure.
      
    Exposure Lock
