[Nfb-krafters-korner] big camera question!

Tue Feb 10 21:43:31 UTC 2009

Congratulations, Terry. I would, however, recommend using an sd card. You
can purchase these at walmart/sam's, best buy, etc. I recommend sam's if you
have access to one to because they seem to be the cheapest. Next would be
walmart. You can get a 2 G card about $15 or less. The reason I recommend
the card is because you can pop it out of the camera and into the computer
(if you have a card reader on your computer, which you probably do). This
will allow you to avoid using the software that comes with camera and you
will not have to worry about any accessibility problems.

Another tip, is that you will probably want to set the camera to the highest
quality picture setting. If you need help with this, I can probably look
this up and send you detailed directions off-list. I recommend this setting
for you because you want to blow it up on the computer. This will make your
picture files size larger and take up more room on the card, but it will
allow you to have a nicer picture when you blow it up.

The easy share manual is pretty easy to understand but if you and your
sister need help, just let me know. I'm pretty sure the manual is also
available from the kodak website so you could download it to your computer
and have one that you can read.

Good luck.

Cindy
