Battery life
Use these Kodak batteries. (Battery types are also molded into the battery door.)
We do not recommend or support AA manganese batteries. For acceptable 
battery life, and to make sure your camera operates dependably, use the batteries 
listed.
Extending battery life

See Auto Power Off on page 24.

Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:
– Reviewing your pictures on the LCD (see page 8)
– Using the LCD as a viewfinder (see page 6)
– 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/c533downloads or www.kodak.com/go/c503downloads.
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.

Service agreements may be available in your country. Contact a dealer of Kodak 
products for more information.

For digital camera disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities.

purchase, use or failure of the product), regardless of cause or for breach of any

Regulatory compliance
FCC compliance and advisory
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B 
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to 
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential 
installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not 
installed or used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference 
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not 
occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, 
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged 
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: 1) reorient 
or relocate the receiving antenna; 2) increase the separation between the equipment 
and the receiver; 3) connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that 
to which the receiver is connected; 4) consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV 
technician for additional suggestions.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for 
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Where shielded 
interface cables have been provided with the product or specified additional 
components or accessories elsewhere defined to be used with the installation of the 
product, they must be used in order to ensure compliance with FCC regulation.
