20 Most Recent Kodak EasyShare C340 Digital Camera Questions & Answers

My EasyShare was doing the same thing your post describes, which is how I came to be at this website. I tried the one suggestion of turning on camera (I did so to the 'Auto' setting), then pressing the |O|/i button, which is the button below the 'delete' and above 'menu' next to the screen. That didn't work for me. I then tried the suggestion with the other modes on the power dial, no luck.

I then, from the off position, turned the dial the other way, to the 'favorites' icon, and it worked! I didn't have a memory card in at the time, so it made a noise almost like saying "uh-oh", with the message 'no images in favorites'. I then turned it off, then turned it to 'auto' again, good to go! The lens opened, green light remained on in all modes.

If this helps even one person, I'm glad.

Time to start using a card reader.

Try 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). 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 ).

So even virus affected your file table, and put virus to boot sector, the program can still be used to recover your photos.

Almost every modern computer should be able to show the pictures. But do you place the card in a correct card reader? The card reader must be capable of reading the SD card you put in there. Sometimes the card reader has axtea software on a CD, that should be installed first. Special when the computer and or the operating system is a little old. My card readers all can read MMC and SD cards in the same slot. You also have to look if you placed the card correct in the reader and not the wrong way around. It should not be possible to put the card in, when it is turned the upside down, but I have seen strong people succeed with that. They also destroyed the memory card, but that is another story.

Your problem may be due to corrosion on the battery contacts inside the camera which can prevent the full power of the batteries from flowing into the camera. Try this free fix before you do anything else: remove the batteries and wipe the camera contacts firmly with a dry cloth (heavy corrosion may require cleaning with a wire brush, steel wool, or sandpaper). Remove any residue that may have fallen into the battery compartment during cleaning, then wipe both ends of the batteries and place them back in the camera. This cleaning clears the problem about 90% of the time. If it doesn't work for you, the camera may have a problem that requires professional repair.

Rose, I do not think you are going to have much luck because Kodak does not have updated versions available. They really fell behind in customer support issues.

John, your question is listed under Kodak Easyshare C340 Digital Camera ??? You lost me with the paper cassette part.

Hello, If you are not having a battery issue then the old camera has seen better days.

Hello David, Sounds like the children may have dropped this unit on a hard surface !!!! Time to replace not repair, camera is too old and repairs will be very high.

The C340 works with SD cards, which top out at 2GB. Your new 4GB cards are actually SDHC cards. While they fit into the slot, they are electronically incompatible and will not work with this camera. You need to use SD cards, 2GB and smaller.
