Users can set compression to Fine, Standard, or Basic. The Camera menu doesn’t spell out the pixel resolution, which would be helpful, but the available options are suitable for making large format prints, small files for e-mailing, or viewing on a wide-screen TV.

Picture Effects Mode (7.25)
Users who want to have some fun playing with the camera can do so with the built-in picture effects. Users can change Color mode from the default Natural Color to High Color, Low Color, Sepia, or Black and White. Users can also adjust Sharpness in three levels: High, Low, or the default Normal sharpness.

Many other cameras offer separate contrast and saturation menu options, but the Z812 IS does not. Instead, the EasyShare camera employs Kodak Perfect Touch technology, which is an option in the Playback menu that draws up a split screen between the original captured image and an adjusted one that brightens up shadows and makes the overall image more vivid. While it takes a few steps to get to the preview screen when adjusting picture effects during shooting, Perfect Touch is effective. Its before-and-after screen helps beginners visually see the effects before applying them to the images.
