greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF OR WHAT KIND OF FILTERS I CAN USE WITH MY DC260. I JUST TAKE PORTRAITS INSIDE. ALSO WITH THIS CAMARA I CAN'T JUDGE WHAT MY PICTURE IS FRAMED WITH. BOTH THE VIEWFINDER AND THE SCREEN DON'T SEEM TO BE RIGHT. AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG? ROBIN

No filters will fit on the camera without an adapter, Kodak now has one. Also check out this website for more info. http://www.ckcpower.com/ also look here: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=13571&a=58248

Robin, You can go to http://www.photosolve.com for a look at the Xtend-a-Lens which might be your answer...

As far as framing the picture in the viewfinder v. the LCD, this disparity will increase as you move closer to the subject due to the parallax that generally occurs in viewfinder cameras. Below 5 feet or so, the disparity starts to become quite noticeable, and I recommend that people use the LCD, rather than the viewfinder. If you're doing portraits, and you're using the LCD, it's also advisable to use the AC adapter. Finally, if you're going to be doing a lot of work using the LCD, it's recommended that you turn off the LCD periodically so that you will not run into the problem of the camera "hanging up". Best, Phil Williams
