20 Most Recent Kodak EASYSHARE C503 Zoom Digital Camera Questions & Answers

With a Kodak such as this it will just be cheaper to buy a new camera outright. The C503 is only a 5MP camera and should only be around $40 now-a-days. You can even get a much better camera (12-14MP) for cheaper than you would find replacement parts, especially the lens. If you truly want to stick with this camera, the only place you would be able to buy parts is straight from Kodak themselves. Here's the link:

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.

There is a little spring assembly in there that pops the card out when you press a button or something. But if the button is stuck or not working the card will always pop out! If you remove the spring that will do the trick - to remove card in future you use tweezers like I do with my Garmin! Does the trick and works fine!!!!!!!!!!

To unlock the card: Turn off the camera. Remove the card from the camera. Slide the tiny switch (on the side of the card) so that it's not in the Lock position.Aug 25, 2010
