Beginner to Serious Amateur
The Kodak EasyShare Z740 Zoom features
5MP resolution for large prints. The Kodak Retinar
10x optical zoom lens allows you to get as close
as 12 cm (4.7 in.) to your subject for detailed
macro photography as well as bring far away subjects
in for a close look. It also features a high-resolution
Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) and a large 1.8 in.
LCD monitor.
For those who want to go beyond point-and-shoot,
the Kodak Z740 features full exposure flexibility,
as well as easy-to-use Scene Modes that automate
most of the common picture-taking situations.
Movies are captured at 640x480 VGA resolution
at 13fps.
The Kodak EasyShare Printer Dock Series 3
features one-touch transfer of your pictures from
camera to computer; direct printing from camera
to printer with or without a computer; and recharging
of your camera while it is docked. It allows you
to print borderless KODAK 4 x 6-inch pictures
in as little as 90 seconds with just one touch.
The combination of the Kodak EasyShare Z740
Zoom and the Printer Dock Series 3
provides a digital photo solution where you have
everything you need to take, make and share pictures
with family and friends in an easy to use package
and at an incredible price.
The Kodak EasyShare Z740 & Printer Dock
Series 3 kit will appeal to beginner and serious
amateur photographers who desire an easy-to-use
camera (with room to grow) and printer with one-touch
printing.
