Every time you take a picture, regardless of the lighting conditions. Use

 

when the subject is in shadow or is “backlit” (when light is behind the

 

subject). In low light, hold the camera steady or use a tripod.

Red Eye

In Red Eye flash, you can reduce red eye by using a preflash or by using

 

automatic red eye reduction. To make the camera:

 

Preflash, turn the Red Eye Preflash on. (The first flash shrinks the eye

 

pupil to reduce the chance of red eye.)

 

Flash once and automatically remove red eye, turn the Red Eye

 

Preflash off (see page 35).

 

NOTE: When automatic red eye reduction is on, the camera cannot take more

 

than 2 pictures in quick succession. Take more pictures when the Ready

 

light turns green.

Off

Never

Your camera saves the flash setting, even after you turn off the camera. To make the camera return to its default settings (such as Auto flash), turn off Maintain Settings (see page 32).

For flash settings in each mode, see page 58.

EasyShare specifications

The Kodak EasyShare line of digital cameras was created to simplify photography and make it more accessible to consumers. Launched in the early 2000s, the EasyShare series quickly became known for its user-friendly design, allowing novice photographers to capture high-quality images without the complexities often associated with digital cameras.

One of the standout features of Kodak EasyShare cameras was the innovative One Touch sharing button. This feature allowed users to easily upload their photos to a computer or share them via email with a single press. The integration of EasyShare software provided a seamless way to organize, edit, and print photos, enhancing the overall user experience.

Kodak's commitment to ease of use was reflected in the cameras' intuitive interface, with straightforward menus and controls suitable for users of all ages. The cameras typically featured a variety of automatic shooting modes, ensuring optimal settings for different environments and subjects. This automatic functionality often included scene modes such as portrait, landscape, and night, allowing photographers to capture stunning images with minimal effort.

In terms of image quality, Kodak EasyShare cameras featured CCD sensors with resolutions that ranged from 3 to well over 12 megapixels, depending on the model. Many of these cameras included optical zoom capabilities, which enabled users to get closer to their subjects without sacrificing image quality. The optical zoom lenses were designed to deliver clear, sharp images in various lighting conditions.

Additionally, Kodak incorporated technology that increased the accessibility of their cameras. Many EasyShare models came equipped with built-in flashes, image stabilization features, and large LCD screens for easy viewing and framing of shots. Some models also offered video recording capabilities, allowing users to capture moments not just in still images but also in motion.

Another key characteristic of the Kodak EasyShare series was its versatility. With options ranging from compact point-and-shoot cameras to more advanced models, the EasyShare range catered to a wide spectrum of users. The ability to connect easily to printers, either through USB or wireless connections, further showcased Kodak's dedication to making photography a hassle-free experience.

As digital photography evolved, the EasyShare line adapted to include features like Wi-Fi connectivity and the ability to share images directly to social media platforms. While the Kodak EasyShare brand has seen a decline in popularity due to the rise of smartphones and advanced digital cameras, its legacy of simplicity and accessibility has left a lasting impact on consumer photography.
