To Mike about V705's ISO settings

In Kodak official web site, the ISO sensitivity settings are noted -

ISO sensitivity auto: 50-200; manual: 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1000

However, in the User's Guide, it shows -

ISO speed—
Auto: 50–200
Manual: 50, 100, 200, 400, 800

Which one is correct?

Does it really include ISO1000?

And will the high ISOs limit the image resolution to 1.8MP only this time?

Balance,

Yes, the V705 can be set for ISO 1000 by the user - it's in the main menu and it can be used at any image size setting inlcuding the maximum 7.1MP

That's quite good.
I hope the noise level in high ISO can be improved in this new model.

Mike, I had a question about the ISO quality. What is the quality of the pictures taken at ISO 1000 at full resolution? Because ISO 400 on my Z740 and V570 leave much to be desired.

i just could have an panorama-assignment for shooting in a restaurant. but i have my doubts if i cannot fix the exposure. memory. why did kodak not think about that. its not regrettable. it should at least be done with a software-upgrade.

its is said that 180-pans can easily be done inside camera. how about a larger angle?

For balance and buzz_bomb on ISO 1000......

Let's just say that the ISO 1000 option is there so you capture a picture that you might not be able to get any other way.
And that's all I want to say about that.........8^)

The lens aperture and shutter speed are locked at the first exposure and not changed during the panorama capture sequence. So if you have a scene where the center of it will be the brightest, you might want to aim there, hold the shutter button half-way down and then re-aim for the first shot in the panorama. That way the center will be correctly exposed.

The V series are designed to be quick and easy to use and are not intended to be highly adjustable. You might do better to consider a camera such as the P880 with it's 24mm lens, much higher level of settings and flexibility, and utilize 3rd party panoramic stitching software. That way you can set the camera for the required exposure level and stitch together as many shots as you want. Our cameras that do pano-stitch do 3 shots maximum, which on the V570 and V705 result in a 180 degree pano, since they have a 23mm lens. Our other cams produce panos that are not that wide, typically around approximately 140 degrees.

Mike,

I figured as much. ;-)

But it is nice being able to take full size shots at high ISO, even if image quality leaves much to be desired. I tend to take my V570 places I don't take my other cameras.

is this 3 picture per pano-mode also true for new v705? its series has been raised from 4 to 7 images in a row.

Michael,

As I said earlier, our cameras do a 3-shot auto-stitch panorama. That includes the newly announced V705.

so with p-cameras in-camera-pans are limited to around 140 degrees-also p880 despite its 24mm lens?- but larger pans can be made manually with fixed exposures, right?

The P712 is the only P series that can do in-camera-pano and that would come out at about 140 degrees. The P880 does not have in-camera panorama.

Due to the 24mm lens in the P880, a 3 shot pano would be just about 180 degrees, but of course you could do larger on your own with more shots and stitching software.
