Software
The EasyShare Z650 ships with Easyshare software, Kodak's integrated software for downloading and managing images on a computer. The software is easy to use and dependable, offering options to organize photos into albums, print, email, upload, and share them in a range of ways. It's available for Windows and Mac OSX.

Jacks, Ports, Plugs
The camera also has a combination USB 2.0 / Analog A/V port under the same access door as the SD card slot. On the left side of the camera, there is a jack for an external power supply. Most important is the docking jack on the bottom of the camera. The EasyShare Z650 fits on Kodak's optional docks and printer docks, allowing one-touch printing and simplified connection to a computer.

Direct Print Options
The easiest printing option is to use one of Kodak's EasyShare printer docks, which allow one-button printing. The EasyShare Z650 is also Imagelink and PictBridge compatible, allowing the user to print directly from a wide variety of compatible printers. The EasyShare Z650 will print one image at a time, a set of tagged images, or an index print.

Battery
The EasyShare Z650 ships with a CRV3 lithium battery, which is not rechargeable. The EasyShare Z650 also accepts AA-sized batteries. Kodak recommends lithium or rechargeable NiMH cells.

Memory
The camera accepts SD and MMC cards. They are the most popular format of memory media for small cameras, so they are widely available and relatively cheap. The camera also has 28MB of internal storage available for the user's favorite images.

Other Features
Sound Themes - The EasyShare Z650 user can choose from shutter sound only, default, classical, jazz, or sci-fi collections of camera sounds.

Print Warning - Digital zooms are terrible for image quality, and Kodak acknowledges that, in a way, with a warning on the digital zoom. A red warning pops up if the user zooms past the point at which the image won't make an acceptable 4 x 6-inch print.

Mode Description - In classic EasyShare fashion, the EasyShare Z650 can flash a description of each mode as the user turns the mode dial. Once users are familiar with the camera, they can turn the feature off.
