High ISO Scene Mode

Capture the details in low light conditions and fast action situations with the high ISO scene mode. In all image resolutions, the camera automatically selects from ISO 80 to ISO 1600 based on lighting conditions. ISO 3200 is also available at the 1.2 megapixel setting.

Exclusive Kodak Color Science Image Processing Chip

A new high speed digital processor chip, advanced algorithms, and hardware acceleration features let the Z712 IS make simultaneous, split-second decisions to produce rich, vibrant, true-to-life colors in almost any lighting situation. Every time you click the shutter, the KODAK Color Science Chip performs an instantaneous and advanced analysis of collected scene data to identify and adjust multiple factors that influence picture quality. Scene light source is detected and adjustments are made to capture bright whites and true, vivid colors under difficult lighting conditions -- fluorescent, tungsten, or daylight. Scene content is analyzed for luminance, focal distance, subject matter orientation, and color to determine the correct exposure and capture the natural details, accurate flesh tones, and rich colors you see in your composition.

15 Scene Modes

Capture a great shot time after time with easy-to-use scene modes such as children, snow, beach, backlight and panorama stitch.

Smart Scene Mode

Capture stunning shots with ease -- Smart Scene Mode automatically selects for you from 10 available scene modes. Modes include portrait, night portrait, backlight, candle light, flower, text, landscape, and snow/beach. If a scene mode cannot be detected, the camera will default to Auto.

TV Quality Video With Sound

Record TV quality (640 x 480 VGA) video with sound at 30 frames per second. Zoom during video and avoid camera shake with image stabilization. Capture more video while using less memory with MPEG-4 compression. Create prints from video (4, 9, or 16 up), view and share single frames. Features audio capture, playback, and on-camera video editing.

Program Auto, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual Exposure Modes

In Program mode (P) the camera sets the optimal shutter speed and aperture combination. Aperture priority mode (A) allows you to choose aperture, the camera then sets shutter speed. In Shutter priority mode (S) you choose the shutter speed, the camera sets the aperture. For complete creative control, choose Manual mode (M) -- you seelect both the aperture and shutter speed.

On-Camera Cropping

Histogram Feature

Verify the exposure of your picture using the histogram feature on live view, quick view, and review.
