KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE™ DC220/DC260 Zoom Camera
Removable memory card

The DC220 and DC260 cameras use a removable KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE Picture Card, also referred to as a CompactFlash or memory card, for storing your pictures. A memory card can be thought of as a roll of film. But unlike a roll of film, the picture data on the card can be erased and the card can be reused.

Note: The KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE Picture Card is furnished with your camera. Additional removable memory cards can be obtained from a variety of sources. Visit http://www.kodak.com/shop/accessories for ordering directly from Kodak, or visit the retail store where you purchased your camera. The memory cards can also be purchased at any computer store. Any standard CompactFlash card that is "CF" certified will function properly. A CF certified card will have the CF logo on its label.

The removable memory card contains no moving parts. It stores information in and maintains that data when removed from your camera. The memory card retains information until you either delete the data or re-format the card. Normal magnetic interference and airport x-rays will not harm the stored data.

Reformatting the memory card

In order to communicate with the camera and the PC, the removable memory card requires the same standard DOS format that is used by floppy diskettes. The DC220 and DC260 offer you the format option if the camera doesn't recognize the format of the card when it is inserted into the camera.

If you suspect that the card requires formatting and the camera does not automatically provide you the option, you can format the card by placing it into a PCMCIA card adapter and placing the card adapter in your computer or in a card reader attached to a PC. (Refer to Placing the memory card in your computer for more information.)

Follow the same procedures as you would for formatting a floppy diskette:

1. Double-click on the My Computer icon.
   

   The My Computer window appears.

2. With the removable memory card inserted into your computer or card reader, highlight the icon representing the memory card.
3. Click the right mouse button and select FORMAT from the pop-up menu.

   Note: Reformatting a removable memory card deletes all information on the card. This deleted information cannot be recovered.

Removing the memory card

Although your camera can't take pictures without the memory card, you may want to remove the card to use in another camera or to place in your computer.

To remove the memory card:

1. Open the memory card door.
2. Flip the memory card release button so it protrudes out from the side of the camera.

   

   WARNING
   Do not depress the release button if the red LED under the button is on or blinking. Ejecting the card while this LED is on may result in the loss of all data on the card.

3. Depress the release button to release the memory card from the camera.
4. Pull the memory card out of the camera.

   Note: For a more detailed discussion of the memory card, the PCMCIA card, and the KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE Picture Card Adapter, refer to Placing the memory card in your computer.
