Using the histogram to view picture brightness

Use the histogram to evaluate the distribution of light before or after you take a picture. If the peak is to the right of the graph, the subject is bright; if it’s to the left, the subject is dark. Optimal exposure is achieved when the peak is in the middle of the histogram.

To turn on the histogram in P/M mode or in Review,

press the Info button until the histogram appears.

NOTE: If a scene is dark or light, you can adjust the exposure compensation (see page 37) before taking the picture. The flash may affect a picture’s light and shadow.

Z1285, Z1275 specifications

The Kodak Z1275 and Z1285 are compact digital cameras that were designed to capture high-quality images with user-friendly features. Both models are part of Kodak's EasyShare series, which emphasizes simplicity and convenience for everyday photography.

The Kodak Z1275 boasts a 12-megapixel sensor, providing the ability to capture detailed images suitable for large prints. Its 5x optical zoom lens allows users to get closer to their subjects while maintaining clarity. The camera features an ISO range of up to 1600, enabling it to perform well in various lighting conditions. One of its key selling points is the incorporation of Kodak's Perfect Touch technology, which enhances image quality by optimizing brightness and color.

The Z1285 model builds on the strengths of its predecessor with a 12.1-megapixel sensor, offering slightly improved resolution for even finer details. It continues to utilize the 5x optical zoom, complemented by a digital zoom feature for those moments when extra reach is needed. The Z1285 also comes equipped with Advanced Scene Recognition, which automatically adjusts settings based on the shooting environment, ensuring optimal exposure and focus.

Both cameras include a 2.5-inch LCD screen, making it easy to frame shots and review images. They support a variety of shooting modes, including portrait, landscape, and night mode, giving users the flexibility to adapt to different photographic scenarios effortlessly. Additionally, the Z1275 and Z1285 have built-in macro capabilities, allowing for close-up shots of small subjects with impressive detail.

Another notable feature is the cameras' video recording capabilities. They can capture VGA quality video at 30 frames per second, making it easy to document special moments in motion. The EasyShare integration allows for simple sharing and transferring of photos to computers or compatible devices.

Both models are powered by AA batteries, ensuring widespread availability and convenience. The compact design of the Z1275 and Z1285 makes them highly portable, making it easy for users to carry them on their adventures. These cameras strike a solid balance between user-friendly design and advanced photographic technology, making them suitable for both novice and more experienced photographers looking for a reliable point-and-shoot option.
