Do you really want the Kodak software when there're better alternatives available for free? 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, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo management program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

I own a KODAK eadyshare c182 purple. It was a gift from my son, Dececember 2013. I went on a trip in January, no problem. Now I'm planning another trip. The camera doesn't work. I know it was purchased at Wal-mart in Louisiana. I reside in Texas and went to see if it could be exchanged. But, the policy is no receipt or a 15 day after purchase. It was a gift. Help me!!!

If you are sure you are in automatic mode, the green camera logo on the top dial, your pictures have to be correct. The exposure compensation should not be available in automatic, so that can't be the reason. (if you are in automatic) The only thing you could look for, is the exposure metering. There you can chose 3 modes, and I do advise to chose Multi-pattern (should be default) because then not only the centre is measured. If the pictures stay too dark, while in automatic and Multi-pattern, i think your camera is defect. It has nothing to do with the battery. If the battery voltage drops beneath a certain point the camera will stop completely and not work half.

Did you install Kodak Picture Easy Software already? To transfer pictures from your camera to the computer, you need this software (and the driver that comes with it) If you done't have the software, try to get it with Kodak, or use an external memory card reader, to transfer the pictures from the memory card to the computer. That must work.

You can either delete some pictures from memory or, on most Kodak cameras, insert a memory card. If you need further assistance, please reply to this message and specify the model of your Kodak EasyShare camera.

First you should take out the battery. Then give it a few seconds and reinsert the battery. Make sure there is enough power in the battery. The camera should start from scratch. (Cold boot) and it should detect the lens is out. Then it should retract. If there is a visible defect on the outside of the lens perhaps it won't work. On the other hand, if the lens stays out, it could be there is a defect on the inside of the camera. Something mechanical in the lens barrel, something electrical like a bad connection off a (flat)cable, or just the electronics. If the error comes back, you should visit a service centre.

Did you try to set the camera in viewing mode, by pressing the review button? and if you still can't see look into the view rider or press EVF/LCD button? Sometimes the power save option kicks in, when the battery is low. Preventing the display to show anything. Charge the battery.

If you want to see what is on the card, while you connected the camera to a PC, with an USB cable, you first should install the software that came with the camera (on CD). On the CD with the Kodak Picture Easy Software, there are also the drivers, if your computer not already did install them. In the manual this are the first lines. on top of page 1. link to manual If you don't have the software, and forgot to register your camera I think you can't download the software anymore. But you could use an external card reader on your PC, to transfer the pictures.
