Built pursuit the DX7440 is a 4x flash lens, carved figure to a 33-132mm hum on a 35mm camera, with lens ornament threads since attaching trappings conversion lenses. (That's a easy exposed angle to a decent telephoto, a fairly typical range among point-and-shoot digicams.) The camera's autofocus mechanism uses a multi-zone system to "find" the primary subject closest to the lens. The AF area is highlighted in the LCD display with a set of brackets. You can change the AF area to read only the center of the frame through the Record menu, or choose Selectable AF, which lets you set the AF area at center, or to the left or right of center. Additionally, you can choose between Continuous and Single AF modes. The DX7440 has a maximum aperture ranging from f/2.8 to f/4.8, depending on the zoom position. Focus ranges from 19.7 inches (50 centimeters) to infinity in normal mode, with a Macro mode ranging from 3.9 to 33.5 inches (10 to 85 centimeters) (The minimum Macro focus distance depends on the zoom setting.) A Landscape focus mode fixes focus at infinity, for distant subjects and scenery. In addition to the 4x optical zoom, the DX7440 also offers as much as 4x Advanced digital zoom, which effectively increases the camera's zoom range to a total of 16x. Keep in mind though, that digital zoom decreases the overall image quality, since it just stretches the center pixels of the CCD image. For composing images, the DX7440 offers both a real-image optical viewfinder as well as a generous, 2.2-inch color LCD monitor.
The DX7440 is analogous with Kodak's EasyShare camera besides printer docks, which instance hassle-free impression downloading further printing. You plainly provide the camera moment the land (the DX7440 comes with a skilled insert that fits the camera bottom snugly into the dock) and press the Connect button on the dock. The dock station also serves as an AC adapter and in-camera battery charger. Built into the DX7440 is 32 megabytes of internal memory, but the camera also features an SD/MMC memory card slot so you can expand the camera's memory capacity. I highly recommend picking up at least a 64-megabyte card (preferably a 128 MB one) right away, given the camera's 2,304 x 1,728-pixel maximum resolution size. For power, the DX7440 uses a Kodak EasyShare Li-Ion battery pack, or the optional AC adapter. Since the camera does not accommodate AA-type batteries, I highly recommend picking up a spare battery pack and keeping it on-hand and freshly charged. The camera comes with a battery charger in case you don't have the accessory dock. Also packaged with the DX7440 are USB and AV cables, as well as a software CD loaded with the EasyShare software for downloading and managing images.
