On top are several controls. First we have the Power button. Next the Mode Dial has positions Smartcapture Auto, Sports, Panorama, SCN, Manual, Shutter speed priority, Aperture priority, Program, and Movie. On the right side are buttons for Flash, Macro focus, and self-timer. Last we have the shutter release with the zoom control coupled around it in the middle.

The large 2.5-inch color LCD with 230,000 pixels of resolution serves as the viewfinder as well as for reviewing your images and movies and accessing the menu screens. In lower light conditions the LCD will "gain up" for better framing.

Controls on the back: Along the side of the LCD are the Delete, Menu, Info, and Playback buttons. Above the 4-way is the Share button, which is used when the camera is connected to you PC or a PictBridge compatible printer. The 4-way selector is for navigating menus and selecting pictures; pushing the OK button in the center will accept menu selections.

On the right side of the camera is a DC IN jack for an optional AC power supply as well as the USB/AV combination port. This port not only takes care of transferring images to your PC, Mac, or PictBridge compatible printer, but it also handles Audio/Video output to your television set. Unfortunately, Kodak does not include the A/V output cable with the camera.

Still images and movie clips are stored on 32MB of internal flash memory or removable SD, SDHC, or MMC memory cards. Shown here with a SanDisk Ultra II 15MB/s 4GB SDHC card.

The Z15 is powered by two AA type batteries. Kodak includes a set of two standard alkaline batteries, but is shown here with two Kodak 2500mAh Ni-MH batteries. Kodak claims this set fully charged can power the Z915 for up to 280 pictures.
