Camera software ??

HI

Yes you can have both installed and can use either to manipulate the pictures, however the Kodak software will default to save the images in a location it accesses easily, so to use the Canon software just browse to the location of the saved images from the camera.

You may in time perfer to use the better of the two applications or neither and choose another 3rd party appliction, their are many good free ones available ( but suggestions for that could come at another time as this topic is on those softwares you have listed above ), which is my pref, but the Kodak Software is pretty good these days.

 

Hi JoeN

If you remove batteries you will have to re-set the time each time you use the camera, if its a rechargable litiumION battery thats used or in the case of some that use AAs then you can get rechargable AAs and always have some in the camera and a set charged, this way your not always buying loads of normal batteries, unless not using for a long time in which its advisable to remove the battery, the time setting doesnt take too long to do to be honest.

Very good idea to read up on the manuals and guides before hand, if you have not seen this bit on the Kodak website http://kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-locale=en_US&pq-path=38&_requestid=11120 its worth a read as they have some nice tips not just on taking pics but printing them too.

 

Good Stuff JoeN

Hope you and yours have a wondeful Christmas and many hours of fun with the camera..... pictures are great memories

BTW which Kodak Camera did you get? If she will read this forum, then dont post it as I will spoil the suprise and you can tell me after the 25th

 

Nice camera

Personally I would format the card, altho many if not all are pre formatted these days and the camera on first use will create its own storage folder on the card.
