KODAK DC3800 Digital Camera

Congratulations on your purchase of a new KODAK DC3800 Digital Camera—the

camera that takes pictures without the use of film. With your new camera, taking

pictures and making prints is fun and easy. Here are just a few examples of what

you can do with your camera.

mCapture full detail with 2.1 Megapixel resolution.

mUse your KODAK USB Picture Card Reader to transfer pictures from your

memory card to your computer. Since the camera does not connect

directly to your computer, with additional memory cards, someone else

can be using the camera while you work with the pictures.

mE-mail your pictures in minutes to friends, family, and business

associates anywhere in the world.

mPrint high-quality pictures at home using KODAK Inkjet Photo Paper, or

take your KODAK Picture Card to a KODAK Picture Maker System and

create photo-quality enlargements with the touch of a button. If you have

a card slot in your printer, you can print directly from your

memory card.

mDisplay your pictures to a large audience on a television or video

monitor. (NTSC only)
