I am trying to update the firmware on my Kodak Z981 digital camera. I downloaded the firmware file for version 1.03, extracted it to the c:\KODAK folder, and copied it to my 4 GB SD card. When I insert the SD card in the camera and turn on the camera, the firmware is supposed to be recognized and the update process is supposed to start automatically, if one is to believe the instructions Kodak provided. In my case, the camera just starts up in normal operation mode, and does not start the firmware update.Is there something I'm missing? What can I do to complete the firmware update? BTW, I have the camera plugged into its AC adapter and I have no batteries in the camera at this time.Thanks for any help.

    Did you copy the firmware files to the \System folder on the card? See steps 6 and 7:http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/...

    You are absolutely correct. That's what I forgot to do...actually I didn't read all the instructions carefully. So it's my own fault. Thanks for putting me on the right path. I've learned the most important lesson for all electronic gadgets...RTFM.

Glad to have been of help.

Though I've always considered the most important rule of electronics is that electronics works on smoke. If you let the smoke out of the box, it won't work any more :-)

SOURCE: why is the camera stating memory card is full?

Hello, I have the same camera, I went to buy a Kodak memory card and the Representative was kind enough to ask me what digital camera, he said that the c330 will only take a 1GB SD Memory Card. Hope that helps.

SOURCE: 2GB SD card is brand new but camera says it is full.

Some of the older cameras will not take the bigger cards. You can use the bigger card with your computer to store your photos.
