Kodak's vertical grip

For vertical shooting with its new Z980 IS megazoom, Kodak has positioned a second shutter button and automatically changes the operation of the mode dial to function as a zoom switch. In addition, there's a screw-on "dumb" grip--it's not a battery grip, as with SLRs--that expands the base of the camera for more comfortable vertical operation.
