■If the camera has been subjected to inclement weather or you suspect water has gotten inside the camera, turn off the camera and remove the batteries and card. Allow all components to air-dry for at least 24 hours before using the camera again.

■Blow gently on the lens or camera screen to remove dust and dirt. Wipe gently with a soft, lint-free cloth or an untreated lens-cleaning tissue. Do not use cleaning solutions unless designed specifically for camera lenses. Do not allow chemicals, such as suntan lotion, to contact painted surfaces.

■Do not place your camera near equipment, such as electric motors. Electro-magnetic induction may corrupt pictures or cause camera malfunctions.

Z7590 specifications

The Kodak Z7590 is a compact digital camera that was launched in the mid-2000s, standing out in the crowded market with its unique combination of features aimed at both amateur and budding photography enthusiasts. This camera is part of Kodak's EasyShare line, which is renowned for its user-friendly interface and straightforward sharing capabilities.

One of the focal points of the Z7590 is its impressive 12x optical zoom lens, which allows users to capture distant subjects without sacrificing image quality. This versatility is further enhanced by a 5-megapixel CCD sensor, enabling the camera to produce vibrant and sharp images. The camera also features a large 2-inch LCD display that provides ample real estate for composing shots and reviewing images, even in bright sunlight thanks to its anti-glare coating.

Another notable characteristic of the Z7590 is its advanced image stabilization technology, which helps to mitigate the effects of camera shake, making it easier to capture clear photos at longer focal lengths or in low-light conditions. This is particularly beneficial for those who may not have a steady hand or who are shooting in challenging environments.

The Kodak Z7590 also integrates a variety of shooting modes, which grants users the flexibility to experiment with different styles of photography. From portrait and landscape modes to sports and night shooting, the Z7590 is designed to accommodate a wide range of scenarios. Additionally, the inclusion of manual controls enables more experienced photographers to exert creative control over their images, an uncommon feature in cameras of this class at that time.

Connectivity is another key aspect, as the Z7590 comes with USB and video output options, allowing swift transfer of images to a computer or display device. Users can also take advantage of Kodak’s EasyShare feature, which simplifies the process of sharing photos through various platforms.

The camera is powered by four AA batteries, providing users with extended shooting time, especially for those who utilize rechargeables. Equipped with an SD memory card slot, it also offers expandability for storage, making it suitable for capturing a large number of high-resolution images.

In summary, the Kodak Z7590 blends practicality with performance, offering a well-rounded solution for anyone looking to delve into digital photography without being overwhelmed by complexity. Its advanced zoom capability, image stabilization, and user-friendly features make it a memorable model in the history of compact cameras.
