Preferences Settings

The Preferences settings are Capture, Date and Time, and Camera Name.

The following assume that you have turned on the camera, entered the Capture mode, and pressed Menu to display the Capture mode settings.

Capture

  1. Press to select the particular setting you want to change.

    • Quickview—displays the picture just taken for a duration of 0.5 - 30 seconds.
    • Auto Rotate—rotates pictures automatically in response to a sensor that determines the orientation of the camera and rotates pictures to a vertical plane. If you are above the subject with the lens perpendicular to the floor the Auto Rotate should be Off.
    • System Sounds—plays shutter sounds when a picture is taken and alert sounds when an error occurs.
    • Sleep Time-out—sets the number of minutes the camera sits inactive with the color LCD on before it goes into a power conservation mode. In the sleep mode, the color LCD turns off, the Status Display on the top of the camera remains on, and you can take a picture.
    • Remote Shutter—takes pictures using a shutter release cable connected to the camera USB port. The shutter release cable is available as an accessory. For details see a dealer of KODAK products, or www.kodak.com/go/accessories.
