That depends on two main factors: resolution and detail.The higher the resolution the more memory is required to store the additional pixels.The more detail there is in the scene, the more memory is required to store it. Consider a picture taken with the lens cap on. You could summarize the entire picture by saying "every pixel is pure black." Compare that to a wide picture of a field of colorful flowers, where nearly every pixel is different from its neighbors. Storing such a picture will take a lot more memory.The Z740 user guide gives this page of guidelines.

This camera needs to be sent away forrepairs. Just like a motor vehicle, some repairs to your camera require atechnical specialist to fix your problem.

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.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 cataloging program, such as Picasa.

The Z740 works with MMC and SD cards. While SDHC cards will fit into the slot, they are electronically incompatible and will not work with the Z740. You need to use SD cards, 2GB and smaller.

if you have the cord that came with the camera and the easy shareware , load the software in the computer , plug the camera into the cord and then into the usb port in your computer then press share on the camera and you should see the pics you took and then download them.

The Z740 works with MMC and SD cards. MMC cards are all but extinct, but SD cards up to 2GB in size are still plentiful. You should be able to buy them at just about any department, electronics, or office-supply store. Just make sure you get SD cards, not SDHC or SDXC cards.The camera will work with all size SD cards. Obviously, the bigger the card the more pictures it can hold. Also, the bigger the card the more pictures you risk if you lose or break the card.One school of thought says get the biggest card you can and then be very careful with it. Another school of thought says get two or more smaller cards and spread the risk.

May be you inserted a memory card formatted with your PC or has some errors.
In any case, use the 'Format' function in the camera menu. (I guess you will be able to find it if you browse thru the menus). This will enable the memory card to be used with the camera.

Having gone over a month without a response to my query, I assume my suggestion to use a card reader solved the problem.

Pro photographers avoid this very common problem by always using a diskreader. You've found that this method works very well so stop worrying and enjoy. As far as the problem with the pics on the internal memory of the camera, go into the menu and find "copy". It will give you the option to copy the internal memory to a memory card.

Hi,yes you are right ,sometimes updating causes such problem..
Unless you cancel the update and continue to use previous version of i-photo ,I have another solution to finalize such picture downloading issues.
WHY DON'T YOU USE "A Memory CARD READER" THAT COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR MEMORY CARD..If your MacBook is newest model it should have "Card Reader" if not you can but an External one .IT IS ABOUT 5.00-7.00 $..WITH THAT CARD READER-WRITER YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU NEED ..THIS IS THE EASIEST WAY TO DOWNLOAD YOUR PHOTOS/VIDEOS to PC ..
No more recognizing problem during downloading....
Here is an example of "USB 2.0 26-in-1 Memory Card Reader For CF xD SD MS SDHC" on the following URL...

Hope this helps..Pls let me know if you need more info..

Hi,
Either you are trying to put it in the wrong way, or one or more of the contacts have bent and are holding the card from going all the way in...
Try the card in every position, and then look inside to see if a contact is bent out and stopping the card from inserting fully...

The only real solution is to replace the lens assembly unfortunately. You will have to contact Kodak, and it will be a very expensive repair. You would be better off replacing the camera sorry to say, and I would HIGHLY advise to stay away from Kodak for your next purchase.

You're going to have to get it out even if that means ruining the card. Try some pliers with tape wrapped around the teeth.

In any mode, press the MENU button. Use cursor-up/down to select the Setup tab and press the OK button. Use cursor-up/down to select "Date Stamp" and press OK.

Here's the appropriate page from the manual:
