Preparing to Take Pictures Before you Start Before you start taking pictures, you need to install the batteries or connect a Kodak-specified AC adapter for power, and insert a KODAK Picture Card (camera memory card) into the camera. General Tips for Better Pictures 2 Keep your camera ready. Get Close. Keep people busy. Use a simple background Place the subject offcenter. Include foreground in scenics. Look for good lighting. Hold your camera steady. Use your flash. Visit www.kodak.

For information on guidelines for battery usage, see page 135. 1 Place your thumb on the battery door. 2 Slide the battery door away from the camera. 3 Insert the batteries as indicated on the battery cover. 4 Close and lock the battery door. Make sure that no dirt is present when you close the door.
Checking Batteries So that you are never caught with dead batteries your camera indicates the power level of the batteries. A battery status symbol appears, on the Status Display when you turn on the camera. For information on guidelines for battery usage, see page 135. Set the Mode dial to Capture, Review, or Camera Settings. The battery status symbol is not visible if you set the camera to Connect. 2 Slide the POWER switch to the right to turn on the camera.
Using an AC Adapter When you are taking pictures indoors or when the camera is connected to a computer, you may want to use a Kodak-specified AC adapter to help conserve battery power. It is important to use only a Kodak-specified AC adapter with your camera. If you do not have a Kodak-specified AC adapter, you can purchase one as an accessory. For details about available accessories, ask your dealer of KODAK products. Slide the POWER switch to the right to turn off the camera.
Inserting a Camera Memory Card Your camera comes with a KODAK Picture Card (camera memory card), which is used to store pictures you take with the camera.

Setting the Clock on Your Camera Your camera has a built-in clock that maintains the date and time in a 24-hour format. The camera clock needs to be set if you plan to use the Date Stamp feature, which imprints the date on your picture. For information on using the Date Stamp feature, see page 24. If you remove the batteries from the camera for an extended period of time, or the batteries become exhausted, you may need to reset the clock.

With the camera you can: Zoom in on your subject. Automatically lock the focus on the subject when you press the SHUTTER button. View the picture you just took. Vary the flash settings to give you control over the type of flash needed for specific conditions.
Previewing a Picture Before it is Taken To see what a picture looks like before you take it, 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 highlight text, Preview can help you make that decision.
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 page 32 for details. Exposure Compensation—icon appears in the LCD and Status Display if you adjusted the camera exposure. See page 28 for details. Exposure Lock—icon appears in the LCD if you locked the exposure. See page 46 for details. Borders—selected border appears over the picture on the LCD. See page 30 for details.

Adjusting the Camera Exposure If your pictures seem too dark or too light, adjust the amount of light allowed into the camera so that your pictures are properly exposed.

Adding a Border to Your Picture You can add a border or logo (or both) to your picture.

If you want a nice even exposure throughout the picture, use the Multi-Pattern setting. This setting is great for everyday pictures.

7 Connecting Your Camera To transfer pictures taken with your KODAK DC3400 Digital Camera, you first need to connect the camera to your computer or use a card reader. The camera can communicate with your computer using one of the following: RS-232 serial cable connection for Windows-based computers. Serial cable or adapter plug for Macintosh computers. Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable connection for Windows 98 and 2000-based personal computers and Macintosh computers. Card reader.
Using a Serial Cable Connection The traditional means of connecting the camera to your computer is by serial cable. When connecting the camera, it is a good idea to use a KODAK-specified AC adapter (see page 5) to conserve battery power. Connecting to a Windows-Based Computer An RS-232 serial cable is provided so you can connect your camera to a Windows-based computer. MENU CAPTURE REVIEW CONNECT CAMERA SETUP 96 1 Set the Mode dial to Connect.
Serial ports are usually labeled COM1 and COM2, or A and B. If your computer has a 25-pin port, you need to use a 9-pin adapter (available at your local computer store) and attach it to the port before attaching the serial cable to the computer. If the ports are not labeled, see your computer User’s Guide for a diagram that illustrates all of the external ports. 3 Open the serial/USB port door on the side of the camera. 4 Plug the other end of the serial cable into the camera serial port.
Connecting to a Macintosh Computer Either a serial cable for a Macintosh computer or adapter plug for use with the RS-232 serial cable is provided so that you can connect your camera through a serial port on a Macintosh computer. MENU CAPTURE REVIEW CONNECT CAMERA SETUP 98 1 Set the Mode dial to Connect. 2 Connect the serial port adapter plug into the 9-pin end of the serial cable. 3 Plug the adapter end of the serial cable into an available serial port on the back of the computer.
If your camera came with a serial cable for a Macintosh computer instead of the serial adapter plug, connect the end of the serial cable labelled MAC into the available serial port on the back of the computer. Serial ports on Macintosh computers are usually referred to as modem or printer ports. If the ports are not labeled, see your computer User’s Guide for a diagram that illustrates all of the external ports. 4 Open the serial/USB port door on the side of the camera.
Using a USB Cable Connection If you have a personal computer with a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port, and are running Windows 98, Windows 2000, or a Macintosh 8.5.1 or higher computer, you may be able to connect the camera using a USB connection. The USB interface provides an easy and faster alternative to a serial cable connection. KODAK only recommends and supports using the camera with the systems listed in the System Requirements on page 88.

General Maintenance and Safety Always follow basic safety precautions, refer to the “Important Safety Instructions” booklet packed with your camera. Clean the outside of the camera by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on the camera or any of its parts. Do not get the camera wet. If water gets inside the camera, it may cause electrical shock or malfunction.
Clean the lens and back LCD screen: Do not use cleaning solutions unless they are designed specifically for camera lenses. Do not wipe the camera lens or LCD screen with chemically treated eyeglass lens tissue as it may scratch the lens. 1 Blow gently on the lens or LCD screen to remove dust and dirt. 2 Moisten the lens or LCD screen by breathing lightly on it. 3 Wipe the lens or LCD screen gently with a soft, lint-free cloth or an untreated lens-cleaning tissue.
Using Your Batteries Read and follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer. Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Remove the batteries when the camera is stored for extended periods of time. Do not attempt to disassemble, short circuit the battery, or subject it to high temperature or fire. Your camera has been designed to operate correctly using a variety of AA-size batteries currently available. These include 1.5 volt alkaline batteries, and rechargeable 1.
If you elect to use alkaline batteries in your camera, you will obtain better performance from “photo-flash grade” alkaline batteries, such as KODAK PHOTOLIFE. These types of batteries last more than twice as long in digital cameras as ordinary alkaline batteries. Alkaline batteries are not rechargeable, do not attempt to recharge them in the battery charger. When using your camera on battery power, limit continuous LCD Preview or Review to sessions which are shorter than 10 minutes.
In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks onto your skin, wash immediately with water and contact your local health provider. For additional health related information please contact Kodak Health, Safety and Environment Information at 1-716-722-5151 in the U.S. Customers outside the U.S. can contact their local Kodak Customer Service representative.
