LCD Glare Shield: The PlayTouch features two LCD Glare Shield
filters to help you see your subject on the display screen easier in reflective
outdoor settings. You can choose High Contrast, B&W (Black & White), or
Normal (no filter). These filters apply only to the display screen, not to the
videos or images.
Electronic Image Stabilization: For sharper videos and still images,
the PlayTouch has built-in Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS), which can be
turned on or off in the menu.
Magnifying A Picture: When reviewing your still images, you
can tap the Magnify (+) icon on the screen to magnify the image. With each tap,
the magnification increases to 2x, 4x, 6x, or 8x. A double-tap quickly zooms to
8x. Double-tapping the Magnify (-) icon quickly returns the image to 1x size.
Playback Modes: During video playback, you can fast forward and fast
rewind in 2 different speeds: 2x or 4x. When video is paused, you can advance
the video one frame at a time in forward or reverse direction.

social networking websites. You can choose from the following sites: Kodak
Gallery, Facebook, Flickr, Orkut, and YouTube. Pictures can also be emailed
directly from the camera while connected to your computer (Internet connection
required).
Flip-out USB: The PlayTouch has a built-in USB Type A plug
that conveniently flips out for plugging into your computer for uploading
pictures and videos.
HDMI and A/V Outputs: The Zi10 PlayTouch allows you to view your videos
on your HDTV via the supplied HDMI cable (mini-HDMI to full-size HDMI). You can
also connect the camera to a non-HDTV using the supplied A/V cable with mono
audio and composite video.
Headphone Out/Microphone In: On the top of the PlayTouch is
a 3.5mm minijack, which can be used to connect an external microphone or a pair
of headphones. When a device is plugged into the jack, you are asked to select
headphones or microphone in the touchscreen menu, depending upon which device is
plugged in.
Optional Remote Control: The Zi10 PlayTouch has an infrared eye near the lens for
use with an optional remote control (item # 738PVCR).

supplied KLIC-7004 Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery (3.6V/1000mAh). The battery
can be charged on standard household current using the supplied USB cable and AC

on AC current and 4 hours via USB. The battery can also be charged with the
optional Kodak K-7600C battery charger (sold separately).
