There’s also a Face Recognition function in the camera to help you take cool portraits of your friends and family as it automatically detects faces in a frame and optimizes focus and exposure for them.

At last, the camera makes it simpler to share your photos online. It has a dedicated Share Button that allows you send your pictures to your accounts on popular social sites as Facebook, KODAK Gallery, Flickr, Orkut and Youtube.
