Optics
A fixed 6.9mm f/2.8 lens (equivalent to a 33mm lens on a 35mm camera) is built into the DC3800, with focal distances ranging from 1.64 feet (0.5 meter) to infinity in normal mode, and 0.66 to 1.64 feet (0.2 to 0.5 meter) in macro mode. The lens is protected by a mechanical shutter that opens when the camera is powered up in capture mode. A 2X digital telephoto function digitally enlarges the image, but automatically changes the image resolution to its lowest setting (896 x 600 pixels). Keep in mind that digital telephoto merely enlarges the center of the CCD image, so resolution usually decreases while noise levels increase.Reader Comments! --> Visit our discussion forum for the Kodak DC3800!
