How do you set the self timer on the kodak 10.3 mega pixels

The digital cameras capture images with number of pixels that that image sensor allows. They usually dont have DPI adjustment. However you can adjust capture resolution from 5 Mega Pixel to 1.1 Mega Pixel. Please refer to Page 24 and 25 on the following Owners Manual for this camera.

Press the Menu button. Use up/down to choose Self-timer, then press OK. Use up/down to choose a setting. The three choices are 10 second delay, 2 second delay, and 2 pictures, where the first one is taken after 10 seconds and a second 8 seconds after that. Press the shutter halfway, then all the way.

Turn down the picture quality and it will require less memory
Example 10 mega pixel camera
change it from 10 Mega pixel to 5 mega pixel

Regarding the date and time, Actually its normal everytime you removed the battery you need to reset the date its is because the camera doesnt have a internal or built-in battery that can run the internal clock or maintain the date settings.,

Regarding the taking picture that will take time, it is because your using a too high mega pixel of the camera, Higher mega pixel will have a bigger file size and it will take to process the picture. the best thing you can do is to lower the Mega pixel or the picture size make it atleast 5MP or 6MP., I can guarantee to you you will have a great picture outcome and lessen the time of processing picture.

By the way you can lower the mega pixel (picture size)by pressing the menu button of your camera

Dont you worry about that! Its normal specialy if you are using the higher mega pixel of your camera.

For you to minimized the processing you need to lower the mega pixel of picture size., you can adjust your picture size under Menu settings, And choose not lower or higher than 6 mega pixel to have a good quality picture printout
