Kodak Z760 Camera Instructions

The Kodak EasyShare Z760 is a 6.1 megapixel digital camera that comes equipped with a 3X optical zoom, 4X digital zoom and a 2.2-inch LCD screen. The camera also contains the Kodak color science chip, a small processor that Kodak claims enhances the camera's image processing to achieve higher performance. Operating the Kodak Z760 is similar to operating many other digital cameras. You can take pictures in auto mode, select a "scene" mode and record digital videos.


Instructions


Charge the Batteries


1. Insert the rechargeable Lithium-ion camera battery into the charger.


2. Insert the plug used to charge the battery into the charger.


3. Plug the charger into an electrical outlet. Wait until the indicator light turns green. Unplug the charger, remove the battery and insert it back in the Kodak camera.


Take Pictures and Videos


4. Press the round Mode dial lock button on the camera and, at the same time, turn the dial to "Auto" mode (the camera icon), "Video" mode (the video camera icon) or to "SCN" mode for the "Scene" mode.


5. Press the camera's joystick towards the left or right if using "SCN" mode to display Scene mode descriptions. For example, you can scroll to "Portrait," "Sport," "Landscape," "Night Portrait" and 12 other Scene modes. Press "OK" to select a Scene mode.


6. Look through the camera's viewfinder to frame your subject or the scene you want to capture. Or press the "Display/Info" button to turn on the camera screen.








7. Pull the zoom button toward you to zoom in on the scene or subject. Release the zoom button and pull it again to use the digital zoom and get an additional magnification of the scene. Push the zoom button away from you to zoom out and get a wider view of the scene.


8. Press the flash button on top of the camera if you're taking a picture and want to set the flash. Press the flash button multiple times to scroll through the flash options until the mode you want is displayed on the screen. You can set the flash to "Auto Flash," "Fill," "Red-eye" or "Off."








9. Press the Shutter button halfway down and hold to set the camera's auto-focus if you want to take a picture and are looking through the camera screen. When the green framing marks turn red, press the Shutter button the rest of the way down to take the picture.


10. Press the Shutter button all the way down and release it if recording a video to start the recording. Press and release the shutter button a second time to stop recording.
