20 Most Recent Kodak EasyShare C653 Digital Camera - Page 5 Questions & Answers

Hi i have the same problem. uninstall the easyshare software. (make sure you save your files somewhere else - drag and drop to my docs/ my pics) plug in your camera, sometimes have to do it twice for the pc to register, a window will come up asking you what you want to do, select download video, a wizard will take you through. the only trouble is that it saves as quicktime and other software does not find it when you browse. for eg. windows media encoder to make the file smaller, or windows media maker, does not see it. I am still working on solving that problem - at least until i find out how to make the easyshare software work. Good luck

I've the same problem and was able to remove the screen easily: The connector strips can be unsnapped by pulling ahead the little black parts on the left and right.
But where did you get a replacement for the cracked screen?

Maybe the battery is low OR your press the button the turns the camera into the on you have to manual look through. The button should be at th e top left it looks like a screen, when pressed like 4 times the screen goes black. I'm not a expert but maybe this will help

so, any answers???? it happened to me as well!

You can go to the Kodak site then into the software dept for your model number and can download right onto your computer hope this helps Clarabella

Change the LCD screen. Rs. 1200 for the screen, 800 labour charges, 200 service tax at Rashi peripherals India, Bombay.

Only catch is that it's not available :-). ... and this model is not even a year old.

remove the SD Card and the batteries. Wait for half an hour and then insert two new batteries. Do not put the SD card in as yet. (Waiting for half an hour or more allows the camera to reset itself).

Now try switching on and good luck.

you need to delete the software and reinstall it

The codec on mac does not recognise your file....try using a different player....vlc....gom player...mx player...instead of the one iTunes insist on chaining everyone to.

Move it back again. Did you do any editing in the computer ? If so, the camera will no longer recognise the images on the card.

I have a Z981 myself. I just set my camera as you did (to "A") but did not experience the issue you mention? Just to be clear, remember that setting the camera to "A" means "Aperture priority", meaning that you can control the lens aperture (with the "jog dial" on the top of the camera) and the camera will automatically set the shutter speed to create a proper exposure. "A" does NOT mean automatic exposure control. You must use "P" (Programmed) mode to make the camera make all the decisions about shutter speed and lens aperture. I am including a web link to the User Guide for the Z981. You might want to revisit the Guide to make sure you are using the correct settings for your pictures. BTW, I like my Z981 quite a bit, especially the zoom. I've taken some great pictures with it. http://resources.kodak.com/support/pdf/en/manuals/urg01118/Z981_xUG_GLB_en.pdf

Surely this information is included in the technical specifications at the rear (probably) of the camera manual ?

Sounds like your screen is toast and time to find a new camera. They are not cost-effective to replace on a lower-cost camera.
