Better pictures automatically with Kodak Smart Capture

When taking pictures, wouldn’t you like to save time and concentrate on composing the picture to capture that perfect moment without worrying about adjusting camera settings? Unfortunately, with “normal” auto modes, this sometimes means you will be disappointed with the result. We’ve all taken pictures of scenes that looked great through the human eye but not so good on the camera. A typical example would be a picture of a subject with a bright background. In these backlit situations the background looks good, but the subject—the most important part of the picture-- is often too dark. KODAK's Smart Capture feature allows you to become a better photographer in just about any environment by automatically applying three split-second processes to improve your pictures without you having to adjust any settings:

1. Intelligent scene detection detects and analyzes the characteristics of scene
2. Intelligent capture control then automatically sets camera settings including exposure, focus and ISO for clear, sharp pictures even in low light and challenging situations
3. Intelligent image processing enhances the final result in the processing stage by reducing noise and clearing up dark shadows for vibrant, crisp details and true-to-life colors.

So with Smart Capture you’ll get better pictures automatically in just about any lighting condition without the worry of adjusting camera settings. You just press the button and we do the rest

Face Detection

The C1530 uses Face Detection when you take a picture to ensure faces are in sharp focus and correctly exposed —so you get better pictures.

Face Recognition

If you’ve ever scrolled through hundreds of pictures on your camera looking for those of one special person, Kodak’s Face Recognition feature is just what you need. It’s powerful and easy to use. (You can also search by Date and Keywords.)

Using the on-camera keyboard, enter the name of any face detected during picture taking—up to 5 different people in a single picture. The next time a picture of a tagged person is taken; the camera will automatically recognize their face and assign the right name to it. A maximum of 20 different people can be added to the on-camera face registry, and up to five different poses of each person are used to increase the accuracy of their facial recognition. Once a person is recognized by facial recognition, its super quick and easy to search by name to find all the pictures of that person. You can also tag pictures on your camera with keywords like “summer holiday” for easy search and retrieval, or search by the date that’s automatically tagged to your picture when it’s captured.

Shoot video with ease

The C1530 can record continuous VGA video with audio with digital zoon capability. You can also edit video on-camera, trimming clips to focus in on the best bits, making a still photo from your video, or even creating a 9-up Action Print.
