20 Most Recent Kodak Easyshare V1233 12.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom Questions & Answers

My guess: your sony card is a SDHC card. Or when it can store more than 32 Gbyte, it is a SDXC card. Both won't work in your Kodak camera, because it only can handle MMC and SD cards. You still can buy SD cards, but most of the time they can't handle more than 2 Gbyte. Take care, because most memory cards with 2 Gb capacity are already SDHC.

Sound and Video are opposites, therefore it is impossible to record a video using sound. (I may have got the question wrong, but here's the other answer) Your Microphone could be broken or muted. flick through all of the options in settings to find any options to mute the mic when recording videos. If there is no option for that, either try turning up the volume to full or consider either getting the microphone replaced or consider getting a new camera.

Hello Cathy, The "AF" means auto focus, The pink screen and the lines are a camera fault, you are going to need the camera checked to see what the internal problem is, it is not something that you are doing wrong, it is the camera.Best Regards, Russell

Replace the CCD (if you can find one.. They used to be plentiful and cheap - sub $20). Otherwise, you'll need to replace the lens assembly. The camera is modular, so most repairs you can do yourself. There are videos on disassembly on YouTube.

Hi i have had the same problem you need to buy the more expensive batterys that have more amperage , if you try to buy the cheeper one's there isent enough amperage to open the camara and keep it open

Hi there,

Make sure you have installed freshly charged batteries on your Kodak Camera. If you already have but problem still goes on, then try to do a little fix.

With your camera turned OFF, hold the camera on your right hand with the lens facing the ground. Then hit the camera's base on your left palm as you push the button to turn on the camera. You might have to do this a few times. What happens is that there could be a grit of sand that got stuck between your lens' barrel and the camera's base, preventing the lens to retract freely. If the above solution does not work, you might want to apply a bit of force by twist-pushing the lens inside with your index finger while trying to turn on the camera. The idea here is to remove that grit out of the camera.

Please let me know how this goes. Thank you for using FixYa.

hi your camera might has power control pcb(dc/dc convertor) defective. your local repair shop would charge around $35 to 85 depend on what they really want to charge. thanks and best regard!

If your lens is broken, then there is no other alternative solution than to get a new lens for the camera. Because the Light for the picture has to come through the Lens which focuses it. If it is broken or malfunctioning, you will need to put in a new lens. Thank you

Having gone two months without a response, I assume my suggestion to use a card reader solved the problem.

Start with the MENU button, navigate to SETUP, then to SOUND VOLUME, hopefully you will find it set to OFF and you can change it to MEDIUM.

However, I'm not sure if this affects video playback or only beeps and sound confirmations. Therefore you should also try the "up/down" navigation buttons for playback volume while a video is being played.

Assuming batteries are good, the problem is the system control board that controls the entire camera, and is a job for a camera technician.

Hi there,
In order for you to do that, you can either use the supplied USB cable and connect that to your computer or if your computer has a card reader, you can take off the memory card from the camera and put it into the card reader slot.
Good luck!

The best way to download 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 or FireWire). 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. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

Hello
Here are some ways to transfer data from camera to computer:-
Run the software that came with your camera. Pop the CD into your computer and go through the setup steps. The only way you'll be able to transfer is if you have the software installed. If you bought the camera used or, for one reason or another, just don't seem to have the CD, you can probably find a used or maybe even a new one on eBay. You might be able to find it somewhere else as well.
Connect the camera to the computer. Let's face it, the pictures aren't going to the computer if there is no cord to connect them. Most of the time, you'll hear a sound or something will pop-up if the camera is connected properly and working.
Sync the camera to the computer and transfer the pictures. With most camera software, as soon as you connect the camera to the computer and it recognizes it, something will pop up asking if you would like to sync the pictures to the computer. After that it's pretty self-explanatory. If nothing pops up or it never was supposed to pop up in the first place, open the camera program. Most likely you'll be able to find your way from there. If not, read your camera manual. It should tell you even more than this how-to.
Another option is to buy a Memory Card Reader. They will go by the name " 6 in One, 12 in one, USB Reader Writer or Flash Memory Card Reader Writer. They allow all memory sticks and cards to be recognized by your computer. On Windows XP, you just plug it in and find it as another drive on My Computer.
Hope this helps, if so do rate the solution
