KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE™ DC220/DC260 Zoom Camera
Power management

You can use batteries or an AC adapter to power your camera. Refer to the following subsections for information about battery and AC adapter use.

To conserve power usage, the camera has a sleep mode. After a specified period of inactivity, the camera enters sleep mode by turning the LCD off. You can set the amount of time before entering sleep mode through the Capture menu settings. Refer to setting the Sleep Timeout preference. After 10 minutes of inactivity, the camera turns itself off.

To reactivate your camera from the sleep mode:

  • In the Review mode, press the DISPLAY button.
  • In the Capture mode, use the ZOOM or SHUTTER as you normally would to take a picture.

Installing batteries

To install the batteries:

  1. Open the battery door.

  2. Slide the inside battery cover toward the back of the camera and then lift it away from the camera.

  3. Insert the batteries as indicated on the battery cover.
  4. Close and lock the inside battery cover and close the battery door.

Warning WARNING
When using batteries, limit the continuous operation of the LCD for previewing pictures to less than 30 minutes. This is particularly true with Lithium batteries. Previewing pictures requires a significant electrical current, which over time could cause your batteries to heat up significantly. Should your camera become too hot inside, it is designed with protective circuitry to turn itself off. You should allow sufficient time for the camera to cool before turning it on again. Consider using an AC adapter when using preview mode for extended periods.

Always follow your battery manufacturer's directions fully.

Note: Remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for an extended period of time. This extends the battery life and prevents camera damage from battery leaks or corrosion. If the batteries are removed from the camera for more than a few days, the date and time will be deleted and must be reset.

Using the AC adapter

The AC adapter allows you to connect your camera to a standard electrical outlet. This is especially useful when you are transferring pictures into your computer. The adapter powers the camera, but does not charge the batteries.

Warning WARNING
Only use the AC adapter designed for the DC220 or DC260. Use of any other adapter may void the warranty and can cause camera failure, fire, electric shock, or injury.

  1. Insert the AC adapter into the AC power adapter connection on the side of your camera.

  2. Connect the other end of the adapter into a power outlet.
  3. Turn the camera on.

    Note: The Battery icon does not appear on the Status Display when an AC adapter is used.
