KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE DC50 Zoom Camera
Optional Accessories

Memory Cards

You can save pictures you take with your DC50 Zoom Camera on optional, removable, Level I- and Level II-compatible PCMCIA-ATA memory cards. If your computer has a PCMCIA-ATA card reader slot, you can insert a PCMCIA-ATA memory card and store pictures on the card.

The following chart shows the approximate number of pictures that you can save on different-sized memory cards.

Inserting a Memory Card

When a memory card is in the camera, the Memory Card icon appears in the LCD Camera Controls and the pictures that you take are stored directly on the card. No pictures are saved to the camera's internal memory.

You can purchase a memory card (CAT No. 802 7138) on-line, from your retailer, or call Kodak. (For information about calling Kodak, refer to Additional Help.)

Important
Inserting a memory card in the camera at the same time that the camera is processing a picture may cause damage to the picture.

1. Turn off the camera.
2. Hold the memory card face up, with the connecting end pointed at the camera.
3. Insert the card in the memory card slot in the camera and push it all of the way into the slot.

   

   When the card is properly inserted in the camera, the EJECT button protrudes.

4. Turn the camera on.

   The Memory Card icon appears in the LCD.

Removing a Memory Card

Wait until the camera completes storing an image before you eject a memory card. The storing operation is finished when the green light next to the viewfinder is no longer illuminated.

Important
Removing a memory card from the camera at the same time the camera is processing a picture may cause damage to the picture.

1. Press the EJECT button.

   The memory card is partially ejected from the camera. The Memory Card and Copy Pictures icons disappear. Any additional pictures you take will be saved in the camera's internal memory.

2. Grasp the visible end of the memory card and gently pull it out of the slot.

Copying Pictures from the Camera to a Memory Card

You can copy pictures that are stored in the camera's internal memory onto a memory card.

1. Insert a memory card into the camera.
2. Turn the camera on.

   The Memory Card and Copy Pictures icons appear if any pictures are stored in the camera's internal memory.

3. Press the MODE button until the Copy Pictures and Pictures Remaining Counter icons flash.
4. Press the SELECT button.

   All pictures in the camera's internal memory are copied to the memory card. The pictures that were copied remain in the camera's internal memory.

   The Copy Pictures and Memory Card icons flash and the Pictures Remaining and Pictures Taken Counters flash. The number in the Pictures Remaining Counter decreases, and the number in the Pictures Taken Counter increases.

Continuing the Copy Operation

During a copy operation, if "FUL" appears and flashes in the Pictures Remaining Counter, do the following to continue copying more pictures:

1. Eject and remove the memory card from the camera.
2. Insert a new memory card in the camera.
3. Press the SELECT button to continue the copy operation.

   The copy operation will be canceled if an incompatible memory card is inserted into the camera or if the camera goes into the power save mode before you press the SELECT button.

Canceling the Copy Operation

If the memory card is full and you do not have another card or you do not want to copy the rest of the pictures to another card, you can stop the copy operation.

1. Press the MODE button.

   The copy operation stops. The icons stop flashing and the Copy Pictures icon disappears. "FUL" appears in the Pictures Remaining Counter. The number of uncopied pictures is displayed in the Pictures Taken Counter.

2. Eject the memory card from the camera.

   The status is reset after you eject the memory card, turn the camera off, or the camera goes into the power save mode.

Erasing Pictures on a Memory Card

Once you have transferred stored pictures to your computer, erase the pictures from the memory card to make room for new pictures. All pictures are deleted from the memory card.

If you delete pictures from a memory card when it is in the card reader slot in your computer, the camera will not be able to track the numbers of pictures remaining on the memory card.

1. Insert the memory card in the camera.
2. Turn on the camera.

   The Memory Card icon appears in the LCD. The Erase Pictures icon appears if any pictures are saved in the camera's internal memory or on the memory card.

   Important
   Make sure that the Memory Card icon appears in the LCD. If you press the ERASE button with no memory card in the camera, all pictures stored in the camera's internal memory will be erased.

3. Press the MODE button until the Erase Pictures icon flashes.
4. Press the ERASE button and hold it down for two seconds.

   The Erase Pictures and Memory Card icons flash, indicating that the pictures are being erased from the memory card.

5. Release the ERASE button.

   When the pictures are deleted, the Erase Pictures icon disappears, the Pictures Remaining Counter indicates the maximum number of pictures available, and the Pictures Taken Counter returns to "0."

AC Power Adapter

Caution
Using any power adapter other than those recommended for use with the DC50 Zoom Camera voids the camera's warranty, and may result in fire, electrical shock, or damage to the camera.

Important Information regarding your AC adapter

You can plug your camera into an electrical outlet using a optional surge-protected AC power adapter. This saves your batteries when you take a large number of pictures and transfer them to your computer. An AC power adapter port is built into the DC50 Zoom Camera.

You can purchase an AC power adapter (CAT No. 820 9827) on-line, from your retailer, or call Kodak. (For information about calling Kodak, refer to Additional Help.)

Connecting a Power Adapter

1. Turn the camera off.
2. Pull gently up on the serial and AC power adapter port cover on the side of the camera.

   

   The camera's serial and AC power adapter ports are exposed.

3. Plug the cable end of the AC power adapter into the AC adapter port.
4. Plug the box end of the AC power adapter into an electrical outlet.
5. Turn the camera on.
