the angle of view for most of the zoom range. Uses KLIC-5001 Kodak lithium-ion batteries (4-hour full charge with supplied external charger), also KLIC-5000 lower capacity ones. Dedicated buttons for Focus mode, digital zoom, ISO, white balance, flash, review mode. One custom button. Command wheel and set button supplements joystick pad for menu and settings. Firmware Update adds Hot pixel and Dead pixel re-calibration, improves focusing speed. Uses SD card for storage (maximum 2 Gb capacity) Drive modes include 10-second self-timer, 2-second delay (in the absence of remote shutter release), first burst, last burst, 3-shot exposure bracketing, 5-shot exposure bracketing, time lapse. There is no remote shutter release. Exposure bracketing cannot be used with self-timer modes. User notes The P20 hotshoe accessory flash is fully automatic with the P880. The flash tilts and can be bounced off the ceiling with automatic exposure adjustment. The P880's flash and the P20 use a pre-flash before the main flash so the camera's autoexposure functions properly. The pre-flash to shutter delay is faster with the P20 which reduces the chance of subjects blinking. The P20 has a guide number of 24 to 40 depending on zoom level at ISO 100, much more powerful than the built in flash with a GN of 9 (ISO 100). It is the number one recommended add on for the P880 to extend its usability. Especially at the discounted prices many units sold at, the P880 has a desirable 24mm (35mm equivalent) wide end of the zoom range. Few compact cameras have this. An entry level DSLR with a third party lens capable of the same image quality at 24mm and above was two or three times the cost of the P880. The SD card file system is FAT16. 4 Gb capacity is not supported. Does not have remote control. However provides an additional 2-second delayed timed shutter release in addition to the 10 second self-timer. Not really compatible with the Olympus teleconverter model tcon-17 due to some vignetting, best to use Kodak's 1.4x teleconverter. Not compatible with any wide angle converters; really does not need it due to excellent 24mm wide angle lens.
