Battery Life (Approx. number of pictures)  
We recommend using only a Kodak EasyShare Li-Ion rechargeable battery. Not all  
manufacturers’ 3.7V Li-Ion rechargeable batteries are compatible with the camera.  
Damage caused by unauthorized accessories is not covered under warranty.  
Optional battery: You can use a Kodak EasyShare Li-Ion rechargeable battery, 1050  
mAh, but it is a lower power battery. Expect approximately 30% fewer pictures per  
full charge than with the 1700 mAh battery included with your camera.

Getting started  
Extending battery life  
Limit the following activities that deplete battery power:  
– Using Quickview (page 15)  
– Excessive use of the flash  
– Using the LCD screen; utilize the EVF screen instead.  
Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a clean,  
dry cloth before inserting a battery in the camera.  
Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41°F (5° C). When using  
your camera in cold weather, carry spare batteries and keep them warm. Do not  
discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature,  
they may be usable.

Storing pictures on a SD or MMC card  
Your camera has 32 MB of internal memory. You can purchase optional SD cards at a  
dealer of Kodak products or at www.kodak.com/global/en/digital/accessories for  
removable, reusable storage for your pictures and videos.  
NOTE: We recommend Kodak SD or MMC cards. Other SD brands are acceptable, but must possess the SD  
logo. (The SD logo is a trademark of the SD Card Association.) When using the card for the  
first time, format it in this camera before taking pictures (see page 38).  
CAUTION:  
The card can only be inserted one way; forcing it may damage the  
camera or card. Do not insert or remove a card when the green  
ready light is blinking; doing so may damage your pictures, card,  
or camera.  
1 Turn off the camera, then open the card door.  
2 Orient the card as shown on the camera body.  
3 Push the card all the way into the slot.  
4 Close the door.  
To remove the card, turn off the camera. Push the  
card in, then release it. When the card is partially  
ejected, pull it out.

P, A, S, M, and C modes  
Settings you change in P, A, S or M modes apply only to pictures taken in those  
modes. Settings you change in C mode apply only to pictures taken in that mode.  
For example, if you change the Color Mode to Sepia while in P, A, S, or M mode, you  
still retain the default setting of Color for Auto and Scene modes.  
NOTE: The settings, including Flash, are maintained for P, A, S, M, and C modes—even when you change  
modes or turn off the camera. Use Reset to Default (see page 34) to reset P, A, S, M, or C mode to  
its default setting.  
Aperture—also known as f-stop, controls the size  
of the lens opening, which determines the depth of

example f/8, refers to a smaller lens opening.

Shutter speed—controls how long the shutter stays open. A shaking hand icon  
warns of slow shutter speeds. (Use a tripod for slow shutter speeds.)  
Exposure Compensation—allows the user to manually adjust the exposure;  
good for controlling backlit or non-standard scenes. If the picture is too light,  
decrease the setting; if it’s too dark, increase the setting.  
Flash Compensation—controls the flash brightness (+0.5, +1.0, –0.5, –1.0).  
You must be within flash range. Unavailable if flash setting is Off.  
ISO—controls sensitivity of the camera sensor (80,100, 200, 400, 800). Higher  
settings are more sensitive to light, but may produce unwanted “noise” in a  
picture. You can only use ISO 800 if you are in the 1.8 MP Picture Size setting. (See  
Picture Size, page 31.)

Aperture and shutter speed (Manual mode)  
You can manually choose the best combination of lens aperture (f-number) and  
shutter speed to obtain the appropriate exposure compensation for your particular  
setting.  
Images have a greater focus range with a larger f-number, such as f/8. But it is not the  
best choice when shooting a moving object, so a smaller f-number is preferred, such  
as f/2.8.

Fill flash is included on your camera (see page 24), and is a popular feature. Use fill  
flash for sunny-day portraits to fill in those dark shadows under the eyes, nose, or  
under the rim of a baseball hat. It’s also useful for side- and back-lit scenes with  
nearby people or objects with detail you want to reveal.

Close ups with a close-up mode  
The flower icon on the camera indicates you have Close-up mode. Once in  
Close-up mode, your camera takes sharp pictures at close range (see page 28). The  
camera automatically sets the focus distance depending on the zoom position. Use  
available light instead of the flash, if possible.  
Close-up telephoto lets you keep your distance from the subject (e.g., when you want  
to capture butterflies and bees on flowers without disturbing them).

Upgrading your software and firmware  
Download the latest versions of the software included on the EasyShare software CD  
and the camera firmware (the software that runs on the camera). See  
Additional care and maintenance  
If the camera has been subjected to inclement weather or you suspect water has  
gotten inside the camera, turn off the camera and remove the batteries and card.  
Allow all components to air-dry for at least 24 hours before using the camera  
again.  
Blow gently on the lens or camera screen to remove dust and dirt. Wipe gently  
with a soft, lint-free cloth or an untreated lens-cleaning tissue. Do not use cleaning  
solutions unless designed specifically for camera lenses. Do not allow chemicals,  
such as suntan lotion, to contact painted surfaces.  
Do not place your camera near equipment, such as electric motors.  
Electro-magnetic induction may corrupt pictures or cause camera malfunctions.  
Rapid changes in temperature can cause harmful condensation. Keep your camera  
in an airtight plastic bag and let it adjust to temperature before removing it from  
the bag.  
Service agreements are available in some countries. Contact a dealer of Kodak  
products for more information.  
For digital camera disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities.

Regulatory compliance  
FCC compliance and advisory  
Kodak EasyShare Z7590 zoom digital camera  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B  
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to  
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential  
installation.  
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not  
installed or used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference  
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not  
occur in a particular installation.  
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,  
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged  
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: 1) reorient  
or relocate the receiving antenna; 2) increase the separation between the equipment  
and the receiver; 3) connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that  
to which the receiver is connected; 4) consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV  
technician for additional suggestions.  
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for  
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Where shielded  
interface cables have been provided with the product or specified additional  
components or accessories elsewhere defined to be used with the installation of the  
product, they must be used in order to ensure compliance with FCC regulation.
