First make sure that the photos are not actually on the camera's internal memory and not shot on the card to start with. Do this by trying to look at the photos through the camera with the card out of the card slot. Next before taking anymore pictures try putting the card into a different computer and card reader. If it still shows up empty you can try several recovery softwares online for free, only paying for them after they have found your photos and are ready for saving. If that doesn't work if you have a local photo store still they will offer recovery service and recovery services are available from companies like DriveSavers.com. Be warned, it can be expensive.
Try a hard reset of camera electronics to factory defaults. If that does not do it, them maybe it is time to go shopping since repair is not cost effective.
Do you have the optional sd memory card instaleld in the camera?
Have you formated the sd memory card or MMC card as suggested on page 37 of the user manual.
on page 36 on image storage settings = If set on Auto it uses the external card if there is one installed rather than the internal memory.
You need to have a memory card installed in the camera !
see page 5 of the user manual.

Check contacts of the batteries and in the battery compartment of your camera. Dirty or oxidised contacts can be cleaned with a dry cloth. Never use sharp tools to clean contacts or anything in or on your camera.
Always charge the batteries before using it for the first time, or if you have not used it for a long period. 3 months is a very long period.
Also check if the battery door is closed correct. Most cameras do have a switch connected to the battery door. If the switch does not work correct, it could be you can't switch on your camera.
Do not use alkaline batteries unless it is absolutely necessary. In most cases, alkaline batteries have a shorter service life than NiMH. Alkaline battery performance is limited, especially at low temperatures. The use of NiMH batteries is recommended.
Never use manganese (Zinc-Carbon) batteries in your camera. They can't deliver enough power and can start leaking, causing damage to your camera.

The best way to transfer pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo management program such as Picasa.

Hello, Sounds just like Kodak, If you go to their website and click on support you will see downloads listed, be sure to download the C875 firmware for your camera and try that for your problem. Kodak does not know day from night when it comes to customer service, I guess this is the reason they are in bankruptcy as we speak. Junk China products and no customer support.Best Regards, Russell

Hi ms_allalone, if you use copy and paste this link it should take you straight to the correct page of the user manual. Let me know if you need more guidance.http://resources.kodak.com/support/shtml/en/manuals/urg00594/urg00594c3s2.shtmlGood Luck
The C875 works with MMC and SD cards. While SDHC cards will fit into the slot, they are electronically incompatible and will not work. You need to use SD cards, 2GB and smaller.
Keep the menu button pressed while you power on the camera. It may take several tries before the camera successfully powers on. This is a known problem with c875.
First, know that this will erase the card so download any pics you want to save first. Then, go into the menu and find "format" and follow the on-screen instructions.
Lens errors are fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended ...Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try that may (or may not) correct it. They only seem to work for less than 40% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty (or repair cost approaches that of the camera), they're worth that try. Some of the later steps do involve some risk to the camera, so carefully weigh your options before deciding to conduct them.And here's a video summary of some of the steps (much more detail and other steps is provided at the above website):
The C875 works with MMC and SD cards. MMC cards are going obsolete, so you'll probably not be able to find many of them. When getting an SD card, make sure it's not an SDHC card. SD cards top out at 2GB while SDHC cards start at 4GB and go up from there. SDHC cards will not work in the C875.
Is your newly charged battery are new? Maybe your battery is worn out already. Or buy a new rechargable batteries and observe. Remember do not over charge your battery, this is always the reason why your battery got easily worn out. Thanks
