KODAK Color Science Chip

The exclusive KODAK Color Science Chip ensures that every picture has vibrant, true-to-life colors. Every time you click the shutter on the Z740, the KODAK Color Science Chip performs an instantaneous and advanced analysis of your picture, identifying and adjusting the many factors that influence picture quality.

High speed, low light auto focus

Using dual-sensing technologies, the Z740’s high speed, low light auto focus system with assist lamp precisely fine tunes and sharply defines your subject in both low light and bright light situations. Continuous auto focus provides 0.42 second click-to-capture time.
