Exclusive KODAK Color Science Image Processing Chip

The exclusive KODAK Color Science Chip provides vibrant, true-to-life colors in every picture.

A new high speed digital processor chip, advanced algorithms, and hardware acceleration features let the Z1285 make simultaneous, split-second decisions to produce rich, vibrant, true-to-life colors in almost any lighting situation.

Every time you click the shutter, the KODAK Color Science Chip performs an instantaneous and advanced analysis of collected scene data to identify and adjust multiple factors that influence picture quality.

Scene light source is detected and adjustments are made to capture bright whites and true, vivid colors under difficult lighting conditions—fluorescent, tungsten, or daylight

Scene content is analyzed for luminance, focal distance, subject matter orientation, and color to determine the correct exposure and capture the natural details, accurate flesh tones, and rich colors you see in your composition
