Picture Quality / Size Options (6.5)
The Kodak EasyShare V705 snaps JPEG images at the following image sizes: 3072 x 2304 (7.1MP), 3072 x 2048 (6.3MP), 2576 x 1932 (5MP), 2048 x 1536 (3MP), and 1200 x 900 (1.1MP). Kodak claims that its top resolution can print up to 20 x 30-inch posters, but we highly doubt this can be done and still look good. Check the Testing/Performance section of this review to see how effective the V705’s resolution is. There are no compression choices.
Picture Effects Mode (6.0)
There are five color modes in the recording menu complete with live views: Natural (default), High, Low, Sepia, and Black & White. These are good if users are in a rush to create a cute card and need a black-and-white picture of their newborn to directly print from the camera. These modes are definitely trumped by software versions, but they work in a pinch. Also in the recording menu, the camera’s sharpness can be set to Sharp, Normal, or Soft.
