I can't find the filter size for the Kodak EasyShare Z990 on the lens front or in the manual. I expected it to be around 50-52mm. Does this camera have a standard filter thread size, or do I need an adapter to use filters?

The lens barrel of Z990 should have a 48.5 mm thread. This is not a standard filter size, but looks like some people have succeeded in modifying 49mm filters to fit by filing the thread slightly smaller.
Another option is to use a filter adapter tube, but it seems very likely that the tube will black out corners and edges on shorter focal lengths.

The Kodak EasyShare Z990 appears to use a 48.5mm front thread on the lens barrel. That is not a standard photographic filter size, so finding a screw-in filter made specifically for it may be difficult.
Based on the community response, some users have reportedly adapted 49mm filters by slightly modifying the threads, but that is a DIY approach and may risk damaging the filter or camera threads.
A filter adapter tube is another possible solution, but on a superzoom camera like this it can cause vignetting or darkened corners, especially at the wide-angle end.
So in short: the thread is about 48.5mm, which is non-standard, and using standard filters will likely require either modification or an adapter with possible drawbacks.
