P, A, S, M, and C modes

Settings you change in P, A, S or M modes apply only to pictures taken in those modes. Settings you change in C mode apply only to pictures taken in that mode. For example, if you change the Color Mode to Sepia while in P, A, S, or M mode, you still retain the default setting of Color for Auto and Scene modes. NOTE: The settings, including Flash, are maintained for P, A, S, M, and C modeseven when you change modes or turn off the camera. Use Reset to Default (see page 29) to reset P, A, S, M, or C mode to its default setting. Aperturealso known as f-stop, controls the size of the lens opening, which determines the depth of field. Smaller f-numbers, for example f/2.8, refers to a bigger lens opening. Larger f-numbers, for example f/8, refers to a smaller lens opening. Larger f-numbers keep the main subject sharp; good for landscapes and well-lit conditions. Smaller f-numbers are good for portraits and low-light conditions. The highest and lowest aperture numbers may be affected by optical zoom.

Tips, safety, 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 camera screen 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. Do not place your camera near equipment, such as electric motors. Electro-magnetic induction may corrupt pictures or cause camera malfunctions. Rapid changes in temperature can cause harmful condensation. Keep your camera in an airtight plastic bag and let it adjust to temperature before removing it from the bag. Service agreements are available in some countries. Contact a dealer of Kodak products for more information. For rechargeable battery disposal information, visit the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation Web site at www.rbrc.com. For digital camera disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities. In the US, visit the Electronics Industry Alliance Web site at www.eiae.org or the Kodak Web site at www.kodak.com/go/dx7590support.
