Kodak EasyShare C663
Previous: Page 6
Control OptionsNext: Page 8
Connectivity / ExtrasThe 6.1-megapixel digital camera has 6 megapixels that are effective for imaging. The Kodak EasyShare C663 has the following JPEG image sizes available:
- Best: 6.0 MP/ 2832 × 2128
- Best: 5.3 MP/ 2832 × 1888 (3:2 format)
- Better: 4.0 MP/ 2304 × 1728
- Good: 3.1 MP/ 2048 × 1536
- Email: 1.1 MP/ 1200 x 900
According to Kodak, the top resolution is decent enough to make prints up to 20 x 30 inches. For more information about whether that statement is accurate, check out the Resolution section in our Testing/ Performance page. Also of note in this section is the fact that only the smallest 1.1-megapixel image size has access to the ISO 800 setting. So if you do shoot in low light with the high sensitivity setting, you’ll only be able to email or print an incredibly tiny picture.
Picture Effects Mode (7.5)
The Kodak C663 has a few picture effects that have become staples even on cheap compact cameras. The camera has High Color, Natural Color, Low Color, Sepia, and Black and White color modes. These can be chosen within the menu, but there is no live view.Users have to enter the menu, select the mode, then exit the menu to check its color. The high and low color modes tweak the saturation, while the Sepia and Black and White change the colors altogether. The Sepia looks dark brown much like coloring with brown crayons on a brown paper bag. Still, this looks better than the pizza orange color some compact models pass for sepia. The Sharpness of the picture can be adjusted in the Program and Manual modes to Low, Normal, or High settings. Kodak cameras tend to over-sharpen a bit anyway, so this shouldn’t be necessary. The EasyShare C663 distinguishes itself, in this section, with the inclusion of its Kodak Perfect Touch technology. In the playback mode, users can apply this quick fix to brighten a background, reduce harsh shadows, and eliminate red-eye. It works well in making the lighting a little more pleasing to look at, but doesn’t completely banish red eyes. The best part about this feature is that it shows the original file next to the fixed file on the LCD screen, and then saves both copies.
