Kodak EasyShare P712 Digital Camera Questions & Answers
What can I do to fix my camera
To be able to repair a camera, you have to find out what is causing the strange behaviour of the camera. Can be anything, from a defective sensor or a bad connection to a little dent or bent on the lens barrel.
Like a doctor can give you something to stop breaking, he needs to find out why you are breaking up, to cure you. You can stop the lens from moving, by switching off or removing the battery, but I'm afraid it takes a tech to find out what is wrong and to repair the defect.
camera's become defect sometimes and can't be cured with a magic spell. They also need a good doctor. Oops did I say that? should be a good technician.

Hi there:Some symptoms of a defective CCD include distorted images or abnormal colors, scratchy purple lines, blank or black pictures, and/or black videos with good sound being recorded on the camera's flash card.A CCD problem would explain the lines on your pictures and the lines on the LCD (since the CCD is used to feed the live image). CCD (Charge Coupled Device) is one of the two main types of image sensors used in digital cameras.When a picture is taken, the CCD is struck by light coming through the camera's lens. Each of the thousands or millions of tiny pixels that make up the CCD convert this light into electrons. The number of electrons, usually described as the pixel's accumulated charge, is measured, then converted to a digital value. This last step occurs outside the CCD, in a camera component called an analog-to-digital converter.In order to correct this issue, the repair facility needs to replace the CCD. This is not something you may do on your own; check this article for additional details:Bad CCDs. This, isn't a good new, but hope helps to solve it.Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

Hello, you have just joined the ranks of thousands of other users !!!!! these models all suffer from this in time, Very poor design and made in China, made cheap. no easy fix. These cameras are always on E-Bay being sold for parts because of this problem.
I accidentally used a damaged
The problem is that your camera will only read SD cards, not SDHC cards. After you damaged the SD card that you've been using for years, you bought a replacement, not noticing that it was SDHC. The new cards don't work, not because they or the camera are broken, but because they're not compatible.
Cards up to 2Gb are generally SD. Cards over 8Gb have to be SDHC. 4Gb cards can be either SD or SDHC, but are almost always SDHC because they're cheaper. (I would avoid the rare, expensive, and problematic 4Gb SD cards.)
Your solution is to go find a 2Gb card, and be extra sure that it doesn't say "SDHC" on it. (If it does, it probably means that they made a 4Gb card, but there were some error locations and so they disabled half of it and packaged it as a cheap-brand 2Gb.)

Hello
The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the
probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.
Use
these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.
Firstly ,
try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.
Try holding the
shutter button while switching on the camera.
Look at the lens ,
and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then
try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).
Try gently
pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may
cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.
Another
way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and
then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to
not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and
down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the
camera is enough to get things going again.
Try hitting your
camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of
your hand.
Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair
center for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to
replace the camera.
If it is still under warranty I would suggest
you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any
off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about
warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.

Hope
the advise is useful. please do not hesitate to let me know if you need any further assistance.

The pop up flash only pops up part of the way so
I had the same problem with my
flash not poping all the way up.
I decided there must be a spring
that is not pushing the flash up.
Looking for small springs I took
apart push button ink pens. The spring that fit the best was from a “Pilot G-2”.
It is slightly shorter than most. With a dib of glue on each end I inserted the
spring while holding the flash open. Try to use a glue that bonds to metal and
plastic. I put the spring in the center of the flash. Repair cost was about
$2.50 for the pen, I had some glue.
Flash won't go off
