Kodak PlayTouch Camcorder Review

Setup

Charging the battery requires that you use the USB cable with the wall charger. You cannot charge the battery by inserting the USB cable into a computer.

Once the battery is charged, you simply insert the USB into a computer and the Kodak Camera Setup App starts automatically. During the setup you have two choices, as shown in Figure 8. You can install the Kodak Share Button App that lets you transfer, email and upload pictures and videos to online sharing sites, and/or install the ArcSoft Media Impression Software which can be used to edit, create, and share your video on devices and online.

To complete the setup, you must purchase and insert your own SD card as there’s very little built-in storage in the PlayTouch, certainly not enough for recording video.
