Kodak EasyShare C875 Digital Camera - Page 8 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Hello,

Make sure that the memory card you used is compatible w/ your camera. If same issue persists after using the compatible card, camera is unable to detect the memory card. Card compartment is defective. call 1.800.235.6325 for repair.


Thanks.

If you've recently dropped the camera you may have damaged the lens tube (housing). This can prevent the lens from moving. This problem will require professional repair. If you haven't dropped the camera though, this problem is frequently battery related. Make sure that you have the correct battery type installed, and that the batteries are fresh/fully charged. If the problem persists, you may have corrosion on the battery contacts inside that camera that is preventing full battery power from flowing into the camera. Remove the batteries and wipe the inside camera contacts firmly with a dry cloth (heavy corrosion may require cleaning with a wire brush, steel wool, or sand paper). Remove any residue that may have fallen into the battery compartment during cleaning, then wipe both ends of the batteries and reinstall them in the camera. This cleaning solves the problem about 90% of the time, and I hope it works for you.

Have you returned it to Kodak, or the place you bought it? Kodak can repair their own products a lot easier than jobbers can.

Try using Kodak batteries.

there should be a little swith on the side of the card. switch to the opposite and then try

This problem is frequently due to corroded battery terminals inside the camera. Remove the batteries and wipe the terminals with a soft cloth (heavy corrosion may require a fine wire brush, steel wool, or sandpaper). Remove any residue left in the camera by the cleaning. Clean the terminals on the batteries in the same manner, and then replace them in the camera. This cures most problems, but if it doesn't work for you, check the Kodak troubleshooting guide at:

Sorry, but Kodak does not sell digital camera parts (except for the wrist strap) to consumers. Your options are basically to either send the camera to Kodak for repairs or purchase a "parts" camera for somewhere like eBay and use it to repair yours.

Remove the batteries and clean the battery contacts inside the camera with a soft cloth (a heavy buildup on the contacts may require cleaning with a fine wire brush, steel wool, or sandpaper). Remove any residue that the cleaning leaves in the camera, and then reinstall the batteries. This clears most power-on problems, but if yours persists, check the Kodak troubleshooting guide at:

batteries?

try new batteries- these eat them up.

Your fix could be as simple as cleaning the camera's battery contacts, or it could be something more serious and expensive. Before you pay for expensive repairs that you may or may not need, check the Kodak Help Center by clicking on the link below. It uses a simple Q&A format to diagnose problems and propose solutions.

Go into the camers settings and adjust the auto shutoff timer.

Go into the menu on the camera, and you should find a format memory card option.

If you can let me know the brand and model, I will give you more detailed instructions.

My guess here is that you're using standard "AA" batteries. If you're doing this, a digital camera will **** the life out of them very quickly. Look into purchasing rechargable "AA" size Lithium-Ion batteries. They will last MUCH longer and save you a ton of cash on the alkaline batteries.

Check out if the batteries are charged fully.. You need to charge the batteries or replace with the charged ones.

Hi...

The way to format is just follow this, you just plug you camera to the computer then turn it on, after that, the camera will detected, you open my computer, you can see the removable disk, just right click then format then check quick, then ok

Good luck !!!

not fixable outside workshop. repair by camera shop and claoim on insurance

Use a computer with memory card reader, and read the card using a computer.

If the computer says the same and does not read the card, then the pictures inside the card are usually lost.

If computer instead does read the card, then transfer all picture on computer using the memory card reader, and format the card using complete formatting.

If you need to use the camera tonight, then buy a spare memory card.
If the camera returns same error on different card, then you may have a faulty memory card slot, but that is quite uncommon.

It sounds like your memory card is damaged. Buying a new memory sounds like what is going to need to happen. If the camera shop ran three programs to salvage your photos and had no success then it means there's no fixing it.

Sorry : (

Try formating your memory card. Should be somewhere under your settings menu
