Connectivity
Jacks, ports, plugs
The EasyShare Z740 contains a DV input for external power and AV output for exporting still and video images to external analogue sources, such as a VCR or television. There is also an essential USB terminal on the bottom of the camera, near the tripod attachment, linking the EasyShare Z740 to both corresponding camera and printer docks.
Direct Print Options
The EasyShare Z740 functions with PictBridge compatible printers as well as the Kodak printer dock series 3; the first ImageLink compliant model put out by any of the contributing manufacturers. This printer dock will function with recent and future releases by the conglomeration of manufacturers, distributing 4 x 6” prints in roughly 90 seconds.
Memory
The Kodak Z740 contains a hefty 32MB of internal storage, enabling users to save still, video, and “favorite” images within the camera. This is a fortunate inclusion and will come in handy when a quick shot is needed and the memory card is no where to be found. When more images or longer video sequences are recorded, the EasyShare Z740 will also write to SD/MMC memory cards, up to 512MB.
Other features
Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 0.7x Wide-Angle Lens — This 4-element all-glass wide-angle accessory lens magnifies the field-of-view by a 0.7x conversion factor. The fixed wide angle perspective is roughly equivalent to a 26.6mm view in 35mm format. Although not a zoom lens, with the additional wide angle component, users of the Z740 will have a vast 26.6–380mm focal range available, providing substantial flexibility on both the telephone and wide angle ends of the spectrum.
One Year Manufacturer’s Warranty — To help reassure potential customers, Kodak has included a LIMITED one-year warranty to ensure the camera is void of defects and manufacturing flaws. This warranty is valid for up to one year from the date of purchase and will be honored by Kodak directly, repairing or replacing the damaged product at not cost to the user.
Self-Timer — The Z740 contains a self timer mode with both 10 and 2 second settings.
