Kodak EasyShare LS753

Auto Mode (8.0)
When the camera is placed in Auto Mode, the user can choose to leave all control options to the camera, or they can alter control settings through the Menu button on the left side of the LCD screen. Auto mode and manual mode appear to coexist on this camera, making the degree of manual control a decision dictated by the user, with automatic presence always remaining a possibility if the user is unsure of control settings during shooting. All manual controls available to the user are accessible to the user through the auto mode.

Movie Mode (5.0)
When the Kodak EasyShare LS753 is in movie mode, the user can shoot video at 320 x 240 at 20 frames per second or 640 x 480 at 13 fps. The 20 fps video is smooth for a digital camera and fairly even; it is activated and deactivated through the depressing of the shutter button. It is possible to control zoom while shooting in movie mode on the Kodak EasyShare LS753, an option sometimes overlooked by other cameras. Audio is recorded via the microphone located on the front of the camera body in the upper center portion of the face.

Drive / Burst Mode (7.5)
Within the onscreen menu, the user can select the continuous shooting option for up to four pictures at a rate of approximately 2.4 frames per second. Flash, self-timer, and long time exposure are all unavailable when in burst mode. The number and rate of image capture is fairly unimpressive, especially with a camera of this price range.

Playback Mode (7.0)
The user can select playback mode by pressing the review button on the left side of the LCD screen. To scan between pictures, the user must press the right and left arrows on the four-way controller located in the upper right-hand corner on the back of the camera body. If users wish to view images in multi-up mode, they must first press the review button and then press the down arrow to initiate this setting. It is also possible to magnify selected pictures in playback mode using the playback 8x zoom available through the zoom control ring. The LS753 can also play pictures in a slideshow and protect photos from being formatted. This camera also has options to store photos in separate albums on the internal memory. To make viewing easier, Kodak programmed the camera to automatically rotate pictures.

Custom Image Presets (7.5)
The user can choose from a number of image preset options from the scene menu, which is accessed through the jog dial. Once the scene setting is selected, the user can choose among the following 13 modes: night landscape, night portrait, sport landscape, snow, beach, party, self-portrait, manner/museum, fireworks, backlight, flower, and children. It is also possible to select between close-up and portrait mode in the same menu as the scene selection parameter.
