Summary
Each time you press the shutter on a KODAK EASYSHARE digital camera, KODAK color science is applied to produce exceptional quality images shot after shot. What's more - in cameras that use the KODAK color science chip, the image processing is accelerated for higher performance. A digital signal processor, smaller than the size of a dime, enables a multitude of performance enhancement features that work together with proprietary imaging processing algorithms for outstanding results. While the function of the chip is customized and optimized for each camera model, the results are consistent- rich, vibrant, true-to-life colors and accurate flesh tones.
