The screen is designed for easy visibility, even in bright daylight, allowing photographers to compose their images confidently. The camera also supports various image formats, including JPEG, giving users flexibility in how they store and share their photos.

Battery life is another notable aspect of the Kodak Z915. It utilizes AA batteries, which offer convenience and ease of replacement, making it ideal for long outings or travel.
