The above link goes to a site that describes how SD or SDHC cards can be used in newer C cameras such as yours.

Also, the following should be noted regarding sd cards:

Question : Why doesn't my camera recognize the SECURE DIGITAL (SD) or MultiMedia (MMC) memory card that is in the camera? Answer : Your camera may not recognize the memory card inside for one of the following reasons:

• The card is not fully inserted in the camera. Turn off the camera, insert a card into the slot, then push to seat it.
• The card may be corrupted. Reformat the memory card.
  CAUTION: Formatting deletes all pictures and videos, including those that are protected. Removing a card during formatting may damage the card.
• The card may not be a certified SD or MMC card. Purchase a certified SD or MMC memory card.

See your camera's user manuals for more information. Go to KODAK Product Manuals, and select the manuals you need.

"No card" means that either

1. You have not inserted a memory card
2. The memory card is not formatted, or
3. The memory card is damaged and therefore can't be read by the camera.

How to insert the memory card:

1. Open the camera’s battery door by sliding it downwards.
2. Insert the SD card into the slot as shown inside the camera’s battery compartment. The SD card can only be inserted one way.
3. Press the SD card completely into the camera and then close the door. Open the door and press on the memory card if you wish to remove it.

Note: There is only one way to insert the SD memory card into the slot. Do not force the card into the slot. This may damage both the camera and the SD memory card.

Before you can use the card, it has to be formatted:

1. Insert the memory card into your camera as described above.
2. Turn the camera on by pressing the power button.
3. Use the multi-select button to select the "SET" option.
4. Press the right arrow button to set "System" then press down key to select "Format".
5. The default option is ‘Format’. Select this option by pressing the OK button.
6. Select "Yes" to format the card.

If all this does not work it might be that your SD card is damaged. Try to replace it with another one. If you have any more questions, just come back here and leave a comment - I'm happy to help.

If I remember correctly, when you insert an SD card, it "hides" the camera's internal memory. There should be an camera option for copying the files from the internal memory onto the inserted SD card. If not, you could try connecting the camera to your computer with the SD card removed, in order to access the files in the internal memory.

Hello Rach326, try with a new SD card. If it does not help contact the nearest authorized dealer/service. Best regards, Arpad
