Extending battery life
■ See Auto Power Off on page 27 .
■ Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:
– Reviewing your pictures on the LCD (see page 5 )
– Using the LCD as a viewfinder (see page 7 )
– Excessive use of the flash
■ Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a clean,
dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.
■ Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41
°
F (5
°
C). When using
your camera in cold weather, carry spare batteries and keep them warm. Do not
discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature,
they may be usable.
Upgrading your software and firmware
Download the latest versions of the software included on the Kodak EasyShare
software CD and the camera firmware (the software that runs on the camera). See
www.kodak.com/go/c643downloads or www.kodak.com/go/c603downloads .
Additional care and maintenance
■ If the camera has been subjected to inclement weather or you suspect water has
gotten inside the camera, turn off the camera and remove the battery and card.
Allow all components to air-dry for at least 24 hours before using the camera
again.
■ Blow gently on the lens or LCD to remove dust and dirt. Wipe gently with a soft,
lint-free cloth or an untreated lens-cleaning tissue. Do not use cleaning solutions
unless designed specifically for camera lenses. Do not allow chemicals, such as
suntan lotion, to contact painted surfaces.
