Camera Menus Overview
There are three main menus in the KODAK DC4800 Zoom Digital Camera. The options in the menus allow you to change settings for taking pictures, reviewing pictures, and for camera setup functions. This section explains how to access each of the menus, and lists the options available in each. Manual Picture Taking Menu If you want more control over how your pictures will look, use the settings in the Picture Taking Menu. These settings override the camera’s automatic settings. For details on applying the settings, refer to the page listed under the Menu Name below.
Review Pictures Menu Use the options in the Review Menu to work with the pictures on the Picture Card in your camera. For details on applying the options, refer to the page listed under the Menu Name below.

Camera Setup Menu
Use the options in the Setup Menu to customize your camera according to your personal preferences. For details on applying the options, refer to the page listed under the Menu Name below. Shooting in Manual Mode Use Manual mode when you want to control exposure, instead of using the
camera’s automatic settings. Consider using a hand-held light meter to help you determine your settings. When shooting pictures in Manual mode, you choose the f-number and the shutter speed. You can set a specific ISO speed if you wish (page 39). Do not adjust the exposure compensation dial (page 30) while in Manual mode.
1 On the Mode Dial, select an f-number. See page 17.
2 Press the Menu button and set the shutter speed. See page 18.
3 Press the Shutter button half-way to lock in the focus and exposure.
4 Press the Shutter button completely down to take the picture.

Setting the f-number
The f-number controls the size of the lens opening, or aperture, which determines your depth of field (the distance range within which a picture looks sharp). The larger the f-number, the smaller the aperture.
