Whenever one of these operations is selected, Delete, for example, the Trash Can icon appears over the image in the LCD. Connect Mode When you want to connect the camera to a PC for downloading of images, you first need to place the camera in Connect mode.
Connect mode enables the different ports on the side of the camera for image transfer. The picture card compartment is easily accessible on the left-hand side of the camera. Open the compartment door, insert the picture card into the slot, push it all the way in, and you're all set to capture images. All images are captured and stored in standard JPEG format. In addition, the camera lets you specify the print order of different images that you capture.
Using the Print option when in Review mode, you can select pictures for printing and choose how many you want. You can even choose to have an index print of all your pictures. This information is stored to the picture card along with the images.
If you have a newer PC Card reader, or if you use you picture card on a Picture Maker kiosk, the reader will recognize the print order format and print your pictures automatically! When you first turn on the camera, the status display includes the number of pictures for which space remains on the picture card. This "Pictures Remaining" number is displayed in the lower-right hand corner of the status display.
This number, of course, will vary depending on the Quality setting Best, Better, Good , and the Resolution level setting High, Standard. At the high-resolution level, images are stored at x pixels. At the standard level, they are stored at x pixels. The table below shows the approximate number of images that can be stored on the included 8MB card for each available camera setting:.
Of course, as with all digital cameras, the number of images stored on each card may vary depending on the complexity of the image being captured. At the high resolution, best quality setting, the average file size is about K. At the high resolution, good quality setting, the file size is about K, and at the standard resolution, good quality setting, the average file size is about 75K. In our data-transfer tests, the speed advantage of the USB connection became dramatically apparent: We timed the transfer of a K maximum-resolution file from the camera to our MHz Pentium II Windows '98 computer.
Using the conventional serial port, this transfer required Switching to the USB port, this time dropped to an astonishing 3. We often recommend external card readers for our readers, to transfer image files to the host computer more rapidly: With a direct USB connection to the camera though, such accessories really become irrelevant. Video Out The DC supports display of images to a television set through a video out cable supplied with the camera.
The video out port is located on the left-hand side of the camera, hidden beneath a rubber protective flap. A menu option is available on the camera to switch between these signal formats if needed. NiMH batteries require at least 8 hours to fully charge in the provided charger, after which the charger drops the current level to a "trickle," to keep the batteries topped-off. When the camera is placed in Capture, Review, or Camera Set-Up Mode, the Battery Status Symbol is displayed on the Control Panel on the top of the camera to tell you how much battery power is remaining.
The battery compartment on the right, bottom side of the camera is easily accessible for battery changing, but requires the camera to be removed from a tripod in order to access it. Simply plug the AC adapter into the AC adapter connector under the connector cover on the left-hand side of the camera and you're ready to snap some pictures. Use the Power Save feature on the camera to shorten the amount of time that the camera stays on when not in use to save battery power.
Kodak also recommends that when you use the LCD on the camera, you should limit usage to less than 10 continuous minutes. More continuous usage will surely drain the battery power. If more than 10 minutes is required, purchase the optional AC Adapter.

The DC's resolution tested-out at a solid lines per picture height, a good value for a camera of this resolution level. An early problem that resulted in fuzzy photos in very bright lighting has happily been cured with a firmware change, which is user-uploadable for owners of the original models: Big kudos to Kodak for their provision for user upgrades of the firmware!
Re-test of a firmware-upgraded DC was done in early August, The lens is almost totally free of geometric distortion, across its full focal-length range. This is a real rarity in inexpensive zoom optics! The optical finder's view is well-centered in the final image area, particularly at moderate distances. All in all, the DC turned in a very respectable performance: With it's workmanlike software bundle and solid capabilities, we expect it will be very successful in the "business" category Kodak seems to have it pegged for.
