I would like to learn what setting to use to take pictures with my camera. None of my shots come out good with this camera. I cannot take Macros for the life of me. The colors do not turn out either. Any suggestions?
Anyone use a Kodak EasyShare Z1015 IS?

Not that particular model, but my first digital camera was a Kodak Easy Share. You should bring it over sometime and I'll walk you through some of the settings for Macro photography and setting your white balance, which will fix your color irregularity.

That would be great Michael. Do you know off hand what I should do to my white setting?
Gina, I'm really sorry I missed this question! From looking at Kodak's website, on this particular camera, it doesn't appear that you have an option to Custom White Balance. Unfortunately, it appears you only have 5 WB settings. None of them will likely give you a true color rendition. Our lighting can be very confusing to cameras. Custom White balance is the best option, for "teaching" our cameras what "white" should look like, under our blue lights. Some of the higher end cameras also have specific Kelvin settings, under White Balance options. Some P&S cameras have excellent Custom White Balance options. Unfortunately, your camera doesn't appear to have either of these. So, you'll have to mess with each of your 5 WB settings, to see which is the closest color rendition. Other than that, you can do some white balance editing, in Photo Shop Elements, or Photo Shop CS, if you happen to have either of these. Also, Kodak's image editing software is fairly powerful. I used to use it a lot, before getting into Photo Shop. If I remember right, Kodak EasyShare had a pretty basic white balance editor, that did a pretty good job.
