I need to find the product of every all the pixel values in a matrix. That is, if an image of size 256×256×3 is taken... i need to find the entire product of 65536 values

You can use prod.
A=rand(256,256);
total_product=prod(A(:));
But it is very likely that the product will be either 0, inf or -inf, because of the large number of elements.

@Sneha, Is the ulterior motive to compute the log-product? If so, better to do this by summation.
logproduct=sum(log(A(:)));
