GETTING READY FOR USE

  1. Charge it first: Before you start using your new KODAK SMILE Classic camera, plug it in to your computer or any USB charging block with an output of two amps (2A) or higher. The charging indicator will flash white while the camera charges. Once it turns solid white and stops flashing, it’s fully charged and ready to use.
  2. Load your ZINK® paper into the camera: Follow the steps below to quickly and easily get your new camera loaded with ZINK® sticky-back paper so you can start printing photos! Open the paper tray in the back by releasing the tray cover at the rear of the device. Press down on the arrow and slide the cover toward you.

****Load the blue calibration sheet in with the barcode facing down. Place the other plain sheets on top with the glossy side facing you. Try to avoid touching the glossy side so you don’t get fingerprints on it.

When you take your first photo after loading the ZINK® paper, the blue calibration sheet will be slowly ejected from the printing slot. Your photo will print after the calibration sheet finishes.
NOTE Please make sure not to push the paper in too far or else the paper could jam or cause misprinting issues.

Insert a microSD™ card into the corresponding slot on the side,  located directly underneath the charging port. The KODAK SMILE Classic supports microSD™ cards up to 256GB.

Download the KODAK Classic 2-in-1 application  from the Google Play™  or Apple® App Store®.  The KODAK SMILE  Classic works without  downloading anything,  but the app provides a lot  of unique and fun features  for your new camera!

TAKING PICTURES WITH THE KODAK SMILE CLASSIC

  1. Turn the camera on by sliding the power latch toward the rear of the camera so that the viewfinder pops up. You will hear a musical tune and the LED indicator on the side of the camera will blink red, then turn solid green when the power is on.KODAK-RODCLASAMZBK-Smile-Classic-Digital-Instant-Camera-Fig-7
  2. If you want to set a 10-second timer, press the timer button on top of the camera, next to the shutter button. The camera flash will blink to count down the seconds, and the camera will also play a sound before taking the picture.
  3. Look through the viewfinder to line up your picture, and then press the shutter button on top of the camera.KODAK-RODCLASAMZBK-Smile-Classic-Digital-Instant-Camera-Fig-8
  4. If you’re taking pictures in a low-light setting, the KODAK SMILE Classic will auto-detect the light level and use the strobe flash when necessary. In a room with fluorescent lighting, you may want to focus on the bolder colors to avoid a washed-out look.
  5. The camera will then beep to let you know that your picture is processing, and after a couple seconds, it will begin to print the photo from the photo print slot.
  6. Retrieve your photo after it finishes printing.

PRINTING PICTURES USING THE KODAK CLASSIC 2-IN-1 APP

  1. Turn the camera on by sliding the power latch toward the rear of the camera so that the viewfinder pops up.
  2. Make sure Bluetooth® on your phone is enabled.
  3. Open up the KODAK Classic 2-in-1 application from your phone, follow the instructions to pair your camera with the app, and start using your new KODAK SMILE Classic camera.

If you have trouble connecting to your camera from the application, try following these steps instead:

  1. Access your phone’s Bluetooth® settings, usually found under the general Settings menu.
  2. Make sure the camera is on first, and then allow your phone to scan for new devices.
  3. You will see “Kodak Classic XX:XX” appear in the Bluetooth® list. The X’s will be replaced with specific letters and numbers which correspond to your specific camera. Tap on it to start pairing.
  4. After a couple of seconds, your phone should say “paired”.

DOWNLOADING YOUR PHOTOS

If you have a microSD™ card installed in your KODAK SMILE Classic camera, you can easily download and view higher-resolution copies of your photos from any laptop or personal computer.

  1. Plug the USB connector end of your charging cable into any USB port on your computer (or laptop). Plug the micro USB connector into the charging port of your camera.
  2. Turn the camera on by sliding the power latch toward the rear of the camera so that the viewfinder pops up. The indicator light above the charging port should start flashing.
  3. The first time you connect your camera, it will take a few minutes to automatically download the drivers and recognize the camera as an external storage device. Do not disconnect your camera during this process.
  4. After the camera is plugged in and drivers have been installed, you can access the pictures you’ve taken by going to your computer’s menu and viewing it as an external storage device (usually defaults to E:\). You will see a folder called DCIM, and inside that folder will be another folder called CLASSIC_CAM. This is where you will find copies of all your photos, even the ones you took when the camera had no paper loaded.
  5. Have fun with viewing, editing, printing, and/or posting these higher-resolution versions of your KODAK SMILE Classic photos from your computer!
  6. When you’re finished, be sure to choose the option to “eject removable storage device” to prevent any issues with your microSD™ card.

TIPS AND TRICKS

  • If you don’t have any paper, but you do have a microSD™ card installed, any pictures you try to take will be stored on the microSD™ card and can be accessed from your computer at any time. However, only your most recently taken photo will print out once you put more paper in the camera.
  • If there is no microSD™ card installed, your KODAK SMILE Classic camera will let you know when it’s out of paper by beeping and flashing all LED indicators whenever you try to take a picture. If you don’t have a microSD™ card installed, none of the photos you try to take while the camera is out of paper will be stored.
  • Important! Don’t rest your finger on the shutter button unless you’re ready to take a picture or your camera is turned completely off; this camera automatically prints out any images it captures. If you leave your finger resting on the button, you could end up printing a photo you didn’t want to take.
