KODAK PIXPRO FZ45-BK 16MP Compact Digital Camera, Black

Product Overview

The KODAK PIXPRO FZ45 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera designed for still photography and basic Full HD video recording. The black configuration is identified by model FZ45BK and uses a 1/2.3-inch BSI CMOS image sensor with 16.35 effective megapixels. Its built-in 4x optical zoom lens covers a 35mm-equivalent focal range from approximately 27mm wide angle to 108mm telephoto.

The camera records JPEG still images at resolutions up to 4608 × 3456 pixels and MOV video at up to 1920 × 1080 resolution at 30 frames per second. A fixed 2.7-inch LCD with approximately 230,000 pixels is used for composition, menu navigation, and image playback. Digital image stabilization is provided to help reduce the appearance of camera movement in supported shooting situations.

The FZ45 stores images on SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory cards with support for capacities up to 512GB. Approximately 63MB of internal memory is also available. Power is supplied by two AA batteries, allowing alkaline or compatible NiMH rechargeable cells to be used. The camera includes automatic and manual-oriented shooting modes, scene presets, panorama capture, face detection, a built-in flash, and macro focusing for close subjects.

Compatibility

The FZ45 accepts standard SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards with capacities up to 512GB. A Class 10 or faster memory card is appropriate when recording higher-resolution video, while MMC cards are not supported.

Power can be supplied by two AA alkaline batteries or two compatible AA NiMH rechargeable batteries. Rechargeable batteries require an appropriate external charger because the camera is not designed to recharge ordinary AA cells internally.

The camera communicates with compatible computers through its USB 2.0 interface and Micro 5-pin USB connector. The supplied USB cable can be used for supported file-transfer functions.

The camera does not use interchangeable lenses. Its 4x optical zoom lens is permanently integrated into the body, so DSLR and mirrorless camera lenses are not compatible.

Common Uses

• Casual everyday photography.
• Family photographs.
• Vacation and travel snapshots.
• Landscape photography using the 27mm-equivalent wide-angle setting.
• Group photography.
• Portrait photography.
• Basic sports and action photography.
• Close-up photography using macro focus.
• Indoor photographs using the built-in flash where appropriate.
• Full HD video recording.
• Short high-frame-rate video clips.
• Panorama photography.
• Photography where a dedicated camera is preferred over a smartphone.
• Basic photography instruction and learning.
• Use in situations where replaceable AA battery power is convenient.

Installation and Initial Setup

• Open the battery and memory-card compartment.
• Insert two compatible AA batteries using the polarity markings inside the compartment.
• Insert a compatible SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory card in the correct orientation.
• Close the battery compartment securely.
• Turn on the camera using the power button.
• Select the preferred display language.
• Set the date and time.

• Use the zoom controls to adjust framing.
• Press the shutter button halfway to focus before pressing it fully to take a photograph.

Maintenance and Care

Keep the lens and LCD free from dust, fingerprints, and abrasive particles. A clean lens blower or suitable lens-cleaning cloth can be used for routine optical cleaning without applying excessive pressure.

Store the camera in a dry location when it is not being used. Extended exposure to high humidity, condensation, extreme heat, direct sunlight, or dust can affect electronic and optical components.

Remove batteries before extended storage to reduce the possibility of damage from battery leakage. Batteries should be stored and disposed of according to their manufacturer’s instructions.

Transfer important photographs and videos to another storage location regularly. Memory cards and internal electronic storage can fail, become corrupted, or be accidentally formatted.

Turn the camera off before inserting or removing memory cards when possible. Do not remove the card or batteries while the camera is writing an image or video file.

Safety Information

• Keep the camera and batteries away from excessive heat and open flames.
• Do not expose the camera to water unless specifically protected by an appropriate external enclosure.
• The FZ45 is not documented as a waterproof or underwater camera.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix battery chemistries or incompatible battery types.
• Insert batteries according to the marked positive and negative polarity.
• Remove leaking batteries carefully and discontinue camera use if battery leakage enters the compartment.
• Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable alkaline batteries.
• Keep batteries and memory cards away from small children.
• Do not look directly at the flash at extremely close range.
• Avoid using the flash close to an infant’s eyes.
• Do not disassemble the camera body.
• Stop using the device if it produces smoke, an unusual odor, or excessive heat.
• Allow condensation to evaporate before operating the camera after a rapid temperature change.

Product History

The KODAK PIXPRO FZ45 was introduced in 2022 as part of the Friendly Zoom compact-camera family. The PIXPRO camera line is manufactured and marketed by JK Imaging Ltd. under license for the KODAK brand.

The FZ45 follows the general design of inexpensive fixed-lens point-and-shoot cameras. It combines a small CMOS sensor, short optical zoom lens, built-in flash, LCD display, removable memory card, and automatic shooting functions in a compact body.

The related PIXPRO FZ55 occupies a nearby position in the same product family. The FZ55 uses a 5x optical zoom and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the FZ45 uses a 4x optical zoom and replaceable AA batteries.

Buying Considerations

• The FZ45 is a fixed-lens point-and-shoot camera rather than an interchangeable-lens system.
• Its 4x optical zoom covers a moderate 27mm-to-108mm-equivalent range.
• Image stabilization is digital rather than optical.
• The LCD is fixed and is not documented as a touchscreen.
• The camera records Full HD rather than 4K video.
• No integrated Wi-Fi or Bluetooth functionality is documented.
• The camera uses replaceable AA batteries rather than a proprietary rechargeable lithium-ion pack.
• AA battery availability can be convenient for travel or extended use away from charging equipment.
• Alkaline battery life is rated at approximately 120 photographs under standardized conditions.
• Rechargeable NiMH batteries can reduce repeated disposable-battery use.
• A memory card is needed for practical photo and video storage beyond the limited internal memory.
• SDXC cards up to 512GB are supported.
• A Class 10 or faster card is appropriate for video recording.
• The 1/2.3-inch sensor is designed primarily for casual photography rather than large-sensor professional imaging.

Customer Feedback Summary

This section is a generalized summary of recurring public feedback concerning the KODAK PIXPRO FZ45. These observations are subjective user experiences and are not verified technical specifications.

Ease of use is one of the most frequently reported positive themes. Users commonly describe the physical buttons and automatic shooting modes as straightforward for casual snapshots, family events, travel, and users who do not want extensive manual camera controls.

The small body and low weight are also commonly praised. Public feedback often notes that the camera is easier to carry in a small bag or pocket than larger interchangeable-lens cameras.

The use of AA batteries receives mixed feedback. Some users value being able to replace batteries without charging the camera, while others prefer cameras with rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs because disposable alkaline cells can require frequent replacement.

Image quality is generally described as suitable for casual photography in adequate lighting. Limitations are more frequently reported in low light, at high sensitivity settings, or when subjects require the wider dynamic range and stronger computational processing available from newer smartphones or larger-sensor cameras.

The 4x optical zoom is commonly viewed as useful for basic framing flexibility, while users seeking long-distance wildlife, sports, or travel zoom generally require a camera with a substantially longer focal range.

Video feedback is generally centered on the simplicity of Full HD recording. The fixed LCD, absence of 4K recording, and lack of documented wireless connectivity can be limitations for users seeking more advanced content-creation features.
